HOW TO: UNLOCK YOUR BEST CURL YET

The quest to craft the perfect curl is a never-ending one. Differing hair types, styles and preferences all mean that the concept of the ‘perfect curl’ is actually quite abstract and specific to the wearer.

Enter ghd’s latest release, the ghd Curve Thin Wand… Or should we say a magic wand for those looking to craft those kinks quickly and easily! Featuring a 14mm ultra-thin barrel – perfect for flat to afro texture –  defined, even curls are crafted in just three seconds that can last up to 24 hours, with no extreme heat.

“The ghd thin wand is great for any hair length and curl type, even for super short hair,” says Global Brand Ambassador Charlotte Mensah. The consistent temperature creates curls that look healthy and bouncy. This is my new go-to tool for creating unique and head turning curls.”

Whatever your style of curl, the power is now in your hands. Check out four of our favourite looks made simple thanks to this exciting release.
