ghd X Alexander Wang SS18

New Wave…

For New York Fashion Week, ghd partnered with international session stylist Guido Palau to create the look for the Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2018 show.

When considering natural hair, people tend to assume that the end result will be messy. That’s absolutely not the case. – Guido

Reflecting the fashion industry’s current fascination with the individual and the unique, Guido worked with models’ natural texture to create ‘lived-in’ hair with movement a-plenty.

Guido first washed each girl’s hair, before applying a styling cream and using the ghd Air Hairdryer with a diffuser to mimic the process of allowing hair to air-dry. After crafting a messy middle part with his fingertips, hair lengths were gently bent around the ghd Classic Curl Tong to lend natural movement, texture and idiosyncratic waves.

A great hairdryer, like the ghd Air Hairdryer, minimises drying time and therefore limits damage to the hair, while helping to achieve beautiful, natural movement.

This look requires simply two tools, the ghd Air Hairdryer and ghd Classic Curl Tong. Great styling tools are essential for creating simple, modern textures. – Guido
