Guyz I was contacted by the pr team behind ghd to write something about their awesome new blowdryer, the ghd air. I enjoy it when brands are written in low case (so humble!) so I decided to oblige. Also, I sort of thought I broke my supercheap but cute (it's a pink red retro sort of deal) blowdryer when using it to dry a friend's dress we handwashed right before our NYE party but it started working again after a day and now I'm sort of scared to use it because that shit is unreliable and I don't want to burn my hair or die when my blowdryer causes shortcircuit (this is starting to become the never ending sentence) SO I'm on the lookout for a new hairdryer.
I hardly ever use mine, for one because I suck at blowdrying technique, but mainly because my hair gets mega frizzy when I use it. I thought that was just what blowdryers do to your hair, but apparently fancy ass blowdryers don't? Any experiences with that? I'd love a blowdryer that does what it's supposed to do without rendering my hair a frizzy helmet-esque mess. I haven't tried the new ghd air out yet, but it promises all kinds of awesomeness in the anti-frizz field. Especially the cool shot button and the ionic technology that seems to be all the rage in hairstyling land seem to promise a difference. My crappy old blowdryer sure don't have no ions or cool shot button. I'm thinking a good hairdryer might be key in recreating beautiful hairstyles such as these faves of mine:
and the most perfect hair (wig) in the world:
Aka the RIGHT kind of helmet hair.
Now I have some questions for you.
1) do you have fancy hairtools you can't live without?
2) is it possible for blowdryers to leave you sans frizz?
2) is it possible for blowdryers to leave you sans frizz?
3) what the hell is ionic technology and how does it work?
4) I already googled that shit and apparently ions break down the water molecules in your hair which makes it dry faster and lessens the damage/frizz. Hey, if Hairdresser on Fire says it, I'm believing!
5) how do I make my hair look like those pics?

Sinds ik mijn 'froe' heb droog en style ik het altijd met de haardroger, anders steekt die alle kanten uit, haha :p en als ik het gewoon laat drogen is mijn haar zo slap zonder volume :( ik gebruik altijd zo'n prikkelborstel (je kent het soort wel :p) om het te stylen, daarna droog ik het ondersteboven xD voor de rest doe ik er niet veel speciaals mee, en de ene dag ligt het gewoon beter dan de andere :) en leuke kapselfoto's!
ReplyDeleteals ik het ondersteboven droog heb ik echt frizz for dayssssss zo heel veel kleine haartjes die alle kanten uitstaan :D voor volume gebruik ik dus mousse en euh mijn handen doorheen de dag lol
ReplyDeleteIt takes a LOT to get me to use any styling products in my hair, but I cannot and will not live without my BayBliss blowdryer I bought at a discount store 3 years ago. I love it.
ReplyDeleteooh I always love your hair! How do you style it when you do?
ReplyDeleteAls je je haar droogt met een brushborstel (rond met haartjes enzo) heb je veel minder last van frizzle. Je kan er best ook op voorhand producten in doen om je kapsel stevigheid te geven (Joico <3). En om zo'n kapsels te krijgen moet je vooral véél oefenen en je borstel naar buiten draaien onderaan.
ReplyDelete5) HAIRSPRAY, and the kind that's bad for the ozone layer.
ReplyDeleteI should do a post about this lol, I use aloe vera gel at the ends and then I just stand there hold the blowdryer over it. That is all haha.
ReplyDeleteyou totally let me down just now :D
ReplyDeleteOk truthfully I get my hair cut so that it works like that. I decided when I cut off my waist length hair that I would not be a slave to products and styling anymore. I told my hair dresser I wanted the kind of hair cut that used all my natural curl and cowlicks and weirdness, so that I could either let it air dry or blow it straight with nothing but a brush. Sometimes it looks wonky as anything (ie today...if you saw it you would NOT envy me) but mostly it does its own thing and I'm cool with it.
ReplyDeletePS I envy your blue hair SO SO SO much. I think I'd get fired if I did that. Le sigh.
I wish I had a team of awesome pros to get my hair and make up did everyday so I could have gorgeous retro hair for eveeeeer :-D but your hairstylist sounds awesome! my hair just does nothing but lie there. I mean it's easy hair but I wish it had some more life to it! But I do adore my fun colored ends TO DEATH :D
ReplyDeleteAll of these hairstyles have been set with rollers. You can get an do-it-yourself, one-day-only version of this look with hot rollers. Ask ghd for a set of hot rollers instead of a blow drier! Check around for tutorials, it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I have a set of hot rollers from aaaages ago in my closet somewhere, I'm just a total n00b when it comes to these things, especially since I have had no fuss short hair for years before this! I'll definitely check it out, thanks. Also, I'm not actually getting a new hairdryer for this post :-D
ReplyDeleteHopefully this may help with that last one question!
