My afternoon of fun with the ghd team in Covent Garden

It was a Saturday afternoon when I went down to Covent Garden to spend the afternoon with the ghd team who where there to promote their brand and products – particularly the new ghd air hairdryer. There was a beautiful luxury ghd caravan within the The Piazza where they were offering free hairstyle makeovers to anyone who turned up and queued. I was invited along simply to come along, have a look, get my hair done and have some fun. The marketing team had created a 2pm appointment for me so I could go in for a wash, style and blow dry straight away.

Inside the caravan I could not believe the facilities they had which included a washbasin, reception desk, giant HD TV, several barber chairs & hair styling stations for the clients. A member of the ghd air team, Lorna, washed my hair and then used the ghd air hairdryer on me. Brand claims that hairdryer “doesn’t just dry your hair, it uses advanced ionic technology to lock in moisture for softer, shinier results that last for longer, with far less frizzing”. It has a powerful 2100 motor which is double the power of normal hairdryers, and it certainly did dry my soaking wet hair super quickly.

I really liked the look of my makeover and then stayed around to watch others have theirs done. Makeovers are a bit magical – I love seeing people’s looks being transformed into something different and new. It’s almost like creating a new image of yourself. Women end up looking more glamourous and princess-y, with the extra bounce and curls. I absolutely love curls.

Here is what my hair looked like before the makeover. I had no products on my hair at all and when it’s this long, it looks terrible unless I use some hair spray. I look tired in this photo!

And this is what my hair looked like after Lorna had washed, dried and styled my hair. Looking much better. I was pleased!

Here are some ladies after they had got their hair done by the ghd team:

And finally, a slideshow and gallery showing you more photos I took during the afternoon!

Thank you to ghd for inviting me to try out their highly enjoyable boutique, and also thank you to the entire ghd air boutique for the company, and for making me feel right at home! You were all lovely!
