Operating Instructions

The ghd Gold straightener is suitable for all hair types and lengths, and for occasional styling.

For Straightening:

1. Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. For best results and protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Divide your hair into small, manageable sections.
3. Take one section of hair and place it between the plates of the straightener, close to the roots.
4. Gently close the plates and glide the straightener slowly and smoothly down the length of the hair, from root to tip. Avoid stopping in one place to prevent heat damage.
5. Repeat this process for all sections of hair until desired straightness is achieved.

For Curling and Waving:

The rounded barrel of the ghd Gold straightener allows for creating various curls and waves.

1. Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Divide your hair into small, manageable sections.
3. For curls, clamp a section of hair near the roots, then rotate the straightener 180 degrees and glide it down the hair shaft. The speed of gliding will determine the tightness of the curl.
4. For waves, clamp a section of hair, rotate 90 degrees, glide a short distance, then rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction and glide again. Repeat this S-motion down the hair shaft.
5. Release the hair and allow the curl/wave to cool before touching or brushing to set the style.
