How do I keep my ghd waves? Which product?

Sorry to be completely clueless.
Just had my hair cut to a long bob and have finally mastered the ghd wave thing. Did this morning on freshly washed and 90% dry hair. Sprayed some salt spray on ends styled and it looked lovely!
3 hours later only back of my hair still wavey everything else straight as anything.
What product do I need to buy to ensure it stays?
Or am I doing the initial styling bit all wrong?
Please help!

I'm interested in the answer too as I find ghd waves rarely last, only tonged curls stay in.

I'm no expert but your hair should be100% dry when styling, this will be the reason why it dropped out. You can still use salt spray when it's drySmile

Ah. OK.
I have been watching lots of you tube tutorials and they all say 90% ish dry hair. I thought there may be some spray that holds after doing?
Gosh I'm clueless.Blush
Obviously I've heard of hairspray but wondered if there was anything else?

I have long heavy hair so the do drop out but find the elnett mouse great. Only thing that is I need to avoid putting it near my roots or it gets very itchy

And yes as pp said, dry hair fully first

Thank you!
Will try a mousse.
Put in hair while wet? Before drying/styling?

Good luck Grin

Dry shampoo? Sprayed on before or after or both?
