If I straighten my hair with GHD's, what can I 'curl' them with?!

My hair is very thick and bushy. Normally I use curly girl method.

On the rare occasion I straighten it, it is very poker straight with GHD's. Is there anything I can 'curl' it with once I've straightened it to give it a natural wave?

You can use the ghds to create soft curls or waves after straightening www.ghdhair.com/hairstyles/how-to-hair

I use my thin Ghds for curls/ waves
Also have two curling wands - one for waves one for tighter curls which I then brush out into waves.

I keep going back to the Ghds as I always end up hitting the off button on the wands as I twist and hold .
I think they should have the on off button on the cable somewhere rather than on handle of wand Smile

Thank you! I'm a GHD novice so will check out that tutorial.


I was aiming for a big wave at the bottom of my hair to curl it under so to speak. I was wondering if I have to do that with a hair dryer or if something like babyliss big hair could do it for me?

What about using a bbh instead of straightening it?

I use my GHDs for straightening and curling.

Gosh - didn't know you could use GHDs for curling. But then I can't even work out how to access that tutorial link thing above

My hair is quite frizzy so I would need GHDs at the roots, not sure the Babyliss wotsit would work on already curly hair? Does the hair have to be wet or damp?
I wanted a kind of big blow dry curve at the bottom, can't seem to achieve this with GHDs or maybe I need more practice?

From what I remember curling with ghd's is almost like curling ribbon with scissors.

I've never straightened my hair with my ghd's, only use them to curl. Have got naturally poker straight ridiculously thick hair which I loathe
