ghd Platinum Uncovered Tour


ghd Platinum Uncovered Tour


The tour hit four cities up and down the country from Edinburgh to London, i was lucky enough to be part of this event along with the Art Team.

Ken Picton ghd education ambassador started the show off with a stunning model showing the crowd exactly what the new styler can do. 

Stylist where encouraged to try new techniques on their own models using platinum, they could then post their photos adding #ghdplatinum to be in with the chance to win a session kit. The overall winning look from the tour has the opportunity to be assisting our next art team shoot later on in the year!

Here are some of my pictures from the tour ...





This was my model Grace, i wanted to create a commercial look that you could try on yourself or most clients day to day. To create the look i first layered the hair with curl hold spray and blow dried the hair into the direction i wanted it to fall. Then using the Platinum Styler i waved the hair by taking each section the same way, turning the styler 180 and passing through the hair straight to the ends. The most important thing about this look is to curl all of the hair in the same direction and to dress the look out using a soft bristle brush or a wide tooth comb. I then went in with some shine spray and final fix hair spray to give extra shine and hold to the look.





Here is an image of myself on stage in manchester talking through the look.

Here are the finished models from left to right starting with Ken Picton, Patrick Wilson, Billy Fry and Viktoria S. Toth. All showing a mix from Avant Garde through to commercial looks.


Finally i would like to say a big thank you to Jo Robertson and all of the team at ghd who organised the tour. I loved being apart of it! 

Until Next Time ... #ghdplatinum

You voted and L'Oreal listened, i would like to take this time out to say a big thank you to all who voted for myself and David Halsall to win the L'Oreal Colour Trophy Peoples Choice Award 2015.
