Could I have told you how much I love this anymore this year?! Well, it's true, it's sensational.

The holy grail of effortless and easy hairstyling tools, the Glide Hot Brush tames even my hair in a few quick strokes for a sleek finish. It's designed with ceramic technology and an anti-static ioniser; the brush has a uniform temperature to evenly straighten your hair and take the frizz out of the equation. As with all of GHD’s heat styling tools, it maintains a research-backed optimum temperature of 185ºC; cooler temperatures deliver poorer styling results while hotter ones can cause irreversible, unnecessary hair damage. The art of the brush lies with the mix of high-density bristles of varying lengths that glide through easily and style large sections at once, giving your hair natural movement that doesn’t fall flat.

I adore this wand. It was my summer curl, although I think it's about to make a comeback as my party curl.

It's just fantastic,

This is my everyday curling wand. It's how I get the loose wave in my hair that you guys always ask me about. I find this way easier to use than one of those wands with the clippy bit. Its oval shape helps you get that beachy vibe rather than a ringlet. The ceramic tri-zone® technology ensures that the hair is exposed to 185°C, just the right amount of heat, throughout the curling process. It therefore creates even curls that stay safely in your hair without over-stressing your locks. Oh, and the tip stays cool so you can hold onto it whilst curling, genius!

Everyone needs a pair of GHD straighteners in their life. They are iconic. Remember in the 90s when you used to share that one friend who had a pair? Perfectly straight, sleek hair all round. This version is award-winning for a reason. They glide through your hair without snagging, and leave you with a healthy, glossy, long-lasting shine.

So, here's the deal: Every once in a blue moon, you might spot some sponsored stuff on my website. Basically, that means I'm getting paid to put up a campaign or an article.
But don't worry, I'm not trying to sneak anything past you. If I've been pocketing some cash for a feature, you'll see 'AD' slapped on the title, and right at the top of the post or in the description, it'll boldly say, "This is a Paid for Advertisement by X." No secrets here!
Just so you know, I only team up with brands that I genuinely dig and for campaigns that make sense for me.
