I have THE straightest hair in the world (a bit of creative license there but you get the picture).
Now bizzarely I also straighten my hair every day with my beloved hair straightener. Life without my GHD is a scary one. It is undoubtedly an obsession but I suffer from the odd kink, and these simply cannot be ignored!!! A bit of O.C.D. going on I'd say!! In fact just see the picture below to see the long-suffering GHD in question. My poor Dad has had to save it's life more than once!!!

Note: the large crack where it's snapped in half TWICE due to me standing on it (as you do).

Anyway back to the curls.... I have tried everything: mousse, velcro rollers, rags, plaits, curling tongs, my straightener, I could go on. I have never ever been able to achieve the curl. Furthermore, when on the odd occasion something does emerge from my efforts, it rarely lasts longer than a half hour.
So last Sunday evening, with a random night out planned, I put myself in the hands of one of best friends, THE makeup queen but has also been known to do a mean hairstyle. She has 'the touch', you know what I'm talking about laydees.
Equipped with her GHD, what is produced below took 15 mins at the most, and lasted ...let me emphasise this TWO WHOLE DAYS. Ok copious amounts of hair spray helped it along its way but this is nothing short of a miracle.
All I can say is by way of observation:
Hold at the root, pull and turn , pull and turn....
See even my directions are rubbish, not to mind actually trying to recreate this!!!!
Here are the results:
I was in love instantly.
Now to start practising myself....
