How do you curl hair with GHDs?

[spacemonkey]

I've got some GHDs and I remember reading in the instruction booklet that you can use them to curl your hair as well as straighten it, but I can't work out how. Anyone know?

Sm, just copied and pasted this from a forum.

saw this being done in a hairdressers. Basically you wrap thick strands of hair around a thick length of tin foil and then hold the GHD straightners on it for a few secs. When you unwrap the strand of hair it should be very wavy. Now the downside is ...its bloody bad for your hair, the smoke coming off the hair was unreal and doing the back yourself would be tricky. It depends on your hair type how long the look lasts, if you have thick heavy straight hair..not gonna stay in for long, if you have kinda kinky hair you will have more success with this. In either case, hairspray should help to hold the style. (so much for this being the easy natural option! more like hard work)

tin foil? fgs

ta lou

can't see why your hair should smoke though

Ive tried it, wrap the hair round your finger then remove your finger and quickly grasp the ghd's round it, it really burns the tips of your fingers though. i thought about foing it with gloves on

aha

blimey looks hard work!

barrel curls looks easy enough

and look what happens if it gpoes wrong!

the back is always hard to do though sm. Bet it will look lovely though, when it's done.

What's wrong with curling tongs???

i haven't got any, that's what wobbly!

I have ehated brsuht hing from last time
takes gas cannister htings

Well get some or have straight hair!!! Better than floppy burnt curls!!!

Get some ribbons, wash your hair and tie it up ala ye olden days sm. Or get some cheapo curlers and go round looking like something out of Corrie.

but i spent 90 quid on GHDs and am determined to get my money's worth out of em

90 quid's worth of burnt fingers?? Ok, so what exactly is the big deal about them - what makes them worth 90 quid while other, seeminlgy respectable straighteners are around for 30 quids??

i dunno, i've never tried the cheapo ones

GHDs do work, even on a shaggy thatch like mine

i'm going to go and try it now

good luck sm!!

Has anyone tried the new Remington Wet to Dry starightners that are advertised on telly at the moment? Just wondered if they are worth the money?!

i had an email about wet and dry ones from a company, they were selling them for a discount here

How does it look sm, just been looking at your link and i cant work out how on earth that works.

she's gone out to meet her swain ff. I spoke to her and she lost patience, so it is shaggy instead of curly

bet she looks great anyway
