Romantic Bridal Hair Style

Every bride wants to look stunning on her wedding day. Hair and make-up are the two most important details, besides the dress of course, to make a bride perfect on her special day. Some brides opt to style their own hair, even style their bridesmaid's hair and others prefer to go to a salon to be pampered.

If you are a bride to be and looking for a romantic hair style, with a hair straightener from ghd, you can easily get a style like this:

For this style:

• Step 1 Pull your hair into a loose pony tail and secure with a band. To conceal the band, pull a piece of hair from underneath the pony tail, wrap around the band & secure by lightly misting with ghd ultimate hairspray.

• Step 2 Depending upon the thickness of your hair, separate the ponytail into 3-6 sections and lightly mist with ghd creation spray for longer lasting curls.

• Step 3 In each section, place the ghd IV styler in at the roots, rotate it 180° and slowly glide the styler slowly through the hair until reaching the end. Catch the hair as it falls, and twist it around your finger to increase the curl.

• Step 4 To separate and soften the curls, run your fingers through them. To create a teardrop shaped hairstyle, gently backcomb the hair at the root area which gives volume. Gently tease the remaining tendrils into shape.

• Step 5 To complete our bridal hairstyle, use the ghd IV styler for a smooth bevelled fringe & lightly mist with ghd reflection spray for all over shine.

Of course, you can certainly have a salon expert create this fabulous hairstyle for you, if you prefer not to attempt this yourself. If you happen to reside in the United kingdom, there are several salons you can go to if you want a hairstyle a la ghd.

Perfect Wedding Day Hair

You want to look perfect on your wedding day and looking perfect sometimes requires professionals to put on your make up and style your hair. However we know there are brides out there who would rather do this themselves.

Want to straighten those curls or add waves and volume to already straight locks? We recommend ghd stylers. You can purchase flat irons for the ultimate straight look or choose from other ghd stylers for other unique looks. Create whichever look you want on your big day.

For this style:

• Step 1 Pull your hair into a loose pony tail and secure with a band. To conceal the band, pull a piece of hair from underneath the pony tail, wrap around the band & secure by lightly misting with ghd ultimate hairspray.

• Step 2 Depending upon the thickness of your hair, separate the ponytail into 3-6 sections and lightly mist with ghd creation spray for longer lasting curls.

• Step 3 In each section, place the ghd IV styler in at the roots, rotate it 180° and slowly glide the styler slowly through the hair until reaching the end. Catch the hair as it falls, and twist it around your finger to increase the curl.

• Step 4 To separate and soften the curls, run your fingers through them. To create a teardrop shaped hairstyle, gently backcomb the hair at the root area which gives volume. Gently tease the remaining tendrils into shape.

• Step 5 To complete our bridal hairstyle, use the ghd IV styler for a smooth bevelled fringe & lightly mist with ghd reflection spray for all over shine.

EXPERT TIP: For thicker or longer hair, repeat the steps above using a ghd IV salon styler

What about your bridal party? The entire bridal party can use ghd stylers--the ghd IV mini styler has smaller plates; perfect for transforming short hair and men's hair too.

These stylers make excellent bridesmaid gifts as well, such as the Pink Limited Edition. Each pink patterned ghd IV styler comes with a gorgeous raffia bag and compact mirror, so you can be sure your transformation will send hearts a flutter wherever you go. And with every ghd Pink Limited Edition purchased, a valuable donation will be made to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
