If there was ever a beauty product to lives up to its hype, it's got to be ghd hair stylers. I can't tell you how long I've wanted one of these babies and now that it's here, I'm not exaggerating when I say that it has exceeded my already high expectations.
A hair straightener is a hair straightener is a hair straightener, right? Yes and no. I've used a few different stylers in my time and while all of them have done the job, ghd leaves them in the dust. The twenty-second heat up time and consistent temperature make it easy for me to safely style my hair quicker than ever - perfect for my lazy self!
I was extremely fortunate to be sent the ghd Platinum Pink Blush Styler (RRP $370NZD) to try out. Outfitted in matte coral with ribbons of gloss and chrome pink accents, this baby is SO me, I can't even deal. It's a feel-good splurge, too, as $20 from the sale of each styler goes to Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand. That gorgeous clutch you see there is actually a heat-resistant storage roll, giving you a safe place to put the stylers while they heat up or between uses, and it's ideal for travel. Also included is a heat-resistant plate guard to further protect your investment. I LOVE how fast they heat up as it means that I can run them through my hair in a flash on even the busiest bleary-eyed mornings - I'm definitely a fan of the 'look good, feel better' policy!
Here's what I'm starting with! My hair is medium length, on the thick side and half-heartedly wavy, like it gave up partway through deciding on a hair type 😂 It's also colour-damaged, resulting in a bit of fluffiness. I prep my hair with a bit of argan oil and a healthy dose of heat protectant, then loosely section my hair into two side sections and one back section. No sectioning clips needed for this quick polish up!
I work back to front with the side sections, focussing on the lower layers first.

Next, I finish up the side section by straightening the top layers and giving my fringe a quick sweep through.
Then I move onto the back, going by feel a bit here.
And moving onto the other side section, I repeat the same process of working back to front, bottom to top.
And I'm done! Polished, unfussy hair to make me feel put together on even the most dire school-run mornings. I realise that was quite a few pictures, but I promise the whole thing took me less than five minutes from turning on the ghd. It's a total gamechanger that I never want to be without again!
ghds can be purchased from selected salons (use their handy locator to find your closest one) or directly from ghd NZ.
