This season’s hair trends are all about either letting it hang loose or pilling your hair high, so you can ditch your ghd hair straighteners and not worry too much about having perfectly placed hair!
When drying your hair before styling you want to aim for a dishevelled look circa 1980 so apply mousse to your roots and protector spray to the ends and tip your head upside down and blast the roots for a blow out look.
Long sun-kissed tresses lightly tousled are big news this season however you need to make sure your locks aren’t dry and damaged otherwise you will have the straw effect. Focus on the sea sprayed texture look by using ghd sea spray, it contains UVA to protect your hair from harmful sunrays so not only does it style well but looks after your hair too!
The main thing to remember for looks this season is that they should look should look as natural and effortless as possible so aim for the ‘anti-do’.
If you are the owner of a bountiful head full of curls you probably often experience a love hate relationship with your locks, sometimes the wrong cut can, at worst, leave you looking like you may have been electrocuted. If you have naturally curly hair you are actually very lucky as a variety of styles and tightness of curls can result in a variety of looks straight-haired girls can only dream of.
There is nothing is more glamorous than a sleek curly ‘do as many an A-lister will testify, and if you do have naturally curly hair these are actually easier than you think to do yourself. If you want to avoid the fashioned look work tongs, ghd hair straighteners or rollers in from the mid-lengths down and not the roots which can add too much bulk at the sides.
If you want a polished look use ghd straighteners, tongs, a wand or small rollers to create the perfect spiral curls and use hairspray to set in place, also you need to avoid breaking up the curls by steering clear of using a hair brush or messing with your fingers too much.
As a hair colour brunette will never go out of style, like the little black dress, deemed a more sophisticated than red hair, sexier than blonde hair and less goth than black hair brunette is an all over easy colour to work no matter what the occasion. Many celebrities smoulder on the red carpet with their long luscious brunette locks like Penélope Cruz, Jessica Alba, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Garner. You too can copy their red carpet look by just slightly curling the ends of your hair with ghd hair straighteners to create a slight wave reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour.

Wella have this year deemed 2010 the year of the blonde, new techniques and new shades mean you won’t see people sporting brassy roots and straw-like ends, instead creamy shades of caramel and honey and cool, crisp tones of beige think more natural sun-kissed locks. A good cut for this colour is a choppy, textured bob which the perfect style to show of creamy blonde tones and using ghd sculpting wax to give your hair definition.
If you have longer hair you can still rock the blonde haired look with bright blonde highlights are concentrated around the face while darker shades of blonde sit underneath for a natural look, with natural looking waves on the ends created by using ghd straighteners to get the beach look.

Spring is also a great time to change the way we wear our hair too, with new colours and styles that will refresh and revamp your hair ready for summer. The dark colours that we saw during autumn/winter are replaced with bright and breezy shades of blonde, either go for a full head of blonde highlights or add some here and there to lighten your colour. From creamy caramel and warm honey tones to bright, platinum white, blonde is back in a big way.
Many designers featured blonde haired models sporting the just from the beach look which is an easy style to recreate. Using ghd sea spray, dry it into your hair to create a matte texture for a distressed beach babe look for day. For evening pick up on the wave trend as seen on the catwalks, this is again anther easy look to create, using your ghd hair straightners insert vertically at the roots, holding the ends of the hair with your free hand. Turn the styler around 180 degrees, gently and slowly pulling it down the hair lengths until you reach the ends.
