Straight Hairstyles

Professional Ceramic Hair Irons

The new 'GHD Mk IV Ceramic Straightener' is the market leader in professional thermal styling tools. Many other professional styling irons are available from wanthelook.com - simply browse our range of Electrical items and Accessories. Irons typically heat up within 15 seconds and as they are all ceramic they won't pull on the hair shaft.

To prevent your hair from losing moisture on heat application it is recommended that you use a nourishing shampoo and conditioner such as the 'GHD Thermodynamic Nurture & Replenish range' or the Wella System Professional 'Hydro' products.

Style Advice for Straight Hair

A treatment ritual once a week with 'Kerastase Age Recharge' will restore your hair after continual heat styling. It is also recommended to not over wash your hair as this will strip hair fibres of the natural oils which defend your hair as they act as a natural thermal barrier.

When you have washed your hair apply a thermal protecting product prior to blow drying. Both 'Tigi Catwalk Fashionista Smooth & Shine' and 'Kerastase Oleo Relax' will provide adequate heat protection.

Once your hair is thoroughly dry, starting at the nape, clip up your hair with a suitable styling clip from our Accessories range. Begin straightening from root to tip and only applying the heat once. To prevent damage, do not reapply the straightener to the same section immediately afterwards.

The secret is to move your ceramic iron slowly down the hair shaft in one continual movement. This is much more effective than to continually reapply to the same section quickly and will also assist in maintaining a healthy sleek finish.

Once you have moved up the head and finished with your straightening, add a serum such as 'Bedhead Shine Junkie' to seal in the style you have just created!
