Last Friday, I got into work, logged in, and checked my phone before starting work. I saw a tweet asking if any bloggers were available in Bristol that day, and my name was on the end. I said yes, cautiously, since I had no idea what I was getting into!
It turns out that GHD are having a tour around the UK, in this amazing (seriously, AMAZING) Airstream trailer to show off the new stylers and the new GHD Air hairdryer which you may have seen being advertised recently. (I actually really like the advert for the hairdryer, because it’s just a close-up of the hairdryer and then the GHD logo. Simple, no false promises, effective) The photo above is actually inside the trailer, and they even had a wash area at the back – imagine this pulling up outside your office on a Friday night before you all head off for drinks after work?
I headed over on my lunch break, not mentioning to my colleagues where I was going, and was sat with Hayley from seanhanna Cabot Circus who styled my hair quickly into loops with a mini styler. She showed me how to do the curl with a styler (I now know where I was going wrong – I needed to wrap my hair twice around it!)
Perhaps not the best look…
She spritzed my loopy hair with product, then used the GHD Air hairdryer to set the curls. As each curl was unpinned, I started to panic a little at my ringletty hair, but it was brushed out and pretty awesome!
Thank you GHD and especially Hayley, I loved my random Friday hair do! I walked in the office with my hair in big curls like this and my colleagues were amazed it had happened in my lunch hour! I was especially impressed because my hair not only lasted the afternoon (when curls normally drop within a few hours), but a trip to the gym (last photo) and even being slept on – I still had pretty curls when I went to London for an Aussie event (possibly the first time I’ve turned up with nice hair ;))
If you want to visit the hair boutique, check out the GHD Facebook page – they’re in Leeds on Thursday 4th October, Nottingham on the 5th and Sheffield on the 6th. Want them to visit you? Tweet #ghdmycity and your city (duh), and they might be on their way to glam you up!
