GHD Original Ceramic Styling Iron 1" (Black)

What it is:
Endorsed by the world's top session stylists and hottest celebrities, the revolutionary, professional ghd original ceramic styling iron is everybody's number one must-have beauty accessory.

What it does:
The unique ceramic technology heats this iron up to its maximum temperature in seconds; locks in moisture, natural oils, and hair color for total hair protection; and creates the straightest, sleekest locks as well as fantastic curls, twists, and flicks.

What else you need to know:
-Designed to curl, as well as straighten the hair.
-Ceramic-coated plates help seal the cuticle and create shine while locking in hair's natural moisture and preventing atmospheric moisture from re-penetrating hair.
-The iron emits a large proportion of infrared heat and produces negative ions, both of which are less damaging to the hair, reducing static and creating shine.
-Standard irons use PTC or copper-wound elements, which are less efficient at emitting infrared heat and negative ions and can dry out the hair.
-A 9-foot swivel cord prevents tangling and damage.
-Floating blades provide flexibility and smoothness when styling.
-Built-in integrated circuits regulate the temperature 5 times per second (indicated by a flashing LED) to ensure the temperature remains constant throughout the styling process.
-A built-in microprocessor embedded in one of the blades monitors and regulates the blade temperature 5 times per second.
-If the temperature exceeds 374°F, the thermal fuse will blow, resulting in the iron switching off.
-The thermal fuse is a safety feature to prevent the iron from overheating.

Suggested Use

-Use with GHD Miracle Mist (Step 1) for shinier, stronger, static-free hair.
-Use GHD Thermal Protector (Step 2) to deflect damage and absorb heat to protect the hair shaft when heat-styling.
-Use GHD Creation Spray (Step 3) for long-lasting hold.
-Combine with GHD Sculpting Wax (Step 4) for a long-lasting matte look with definition.

To achieve straight, sleek locks:
-Lightly mist hair with GHD Thermal Protector.
-Place a section of dry hair between the iron's plates.
-Ensure that the iron is as close to the root as possible before closing the plates.
-Gently move the iron downward - from root to tip - in one simple gliding motion.
-Repeat the process with each section of hair, gliding once from roots to ends.

To achieve stunning curls:
-Lightly mist hair with GHD Thermal Protector.
-Section the hair, and lightly mist with GHD Creation Spray to secure hold when creating each curl.
-Position the iron vertically, 1 inch away from the root.
-Gently close the iron with minimum tension.
-Turn the iron 90° clockwise and continue to turn the iron another 90°.
-For an intense, S-shaped, vertical curl, very slowly pull the iron away from the head in a continuous, smooth movement.
-To complete the style, repeat for each section of hair.
-Finally, separate and dress the curls with your fingers.
