Even if you’re going to be putting your hair up into a stylish up-do, styling beforehand remains essential if you want to achieve the perfect look.

Whether your hair is going to be casually clipped up at the back with bangs and fringe loose at the front, or all wound up tightly in a high bun, if you want your hair to stay in place and look stylish then you need to put time and effort into the ‘before’ in order to achieve the ‘after’. Using products and a high quality heat styler will allow you to perfectly prepare your hair in order to obtain a great up do.

Putting your hair up, no matter how you tie it, is going against your hair’s natural shape and against the law of gravity itself. You want your hair to stay where you put it, but you have to be aware that it will fight against you. Products can help you keep your hair in place; these include shampoos and conditioners as well as hair sprays, mousses, wax and gels. Look for a product designed to make your hair more manageable, so that you can easily manoeuvre it into any style you wish.

Straightening is an essential part of an up do, as you don’t want kinks or strands of hair escaping from place. Using a high quality pair of straighteners is essential when heat styling, no matter what hair styles you like to create, as they minimise heat damage.

Straighteners from ghd are top of the range and will help you to create any number of different styles, and are therefore perfect for aiding with up dos. As well as preparing hair before putting it up, they can help to add finishing touches – they can straighten stray hairs, curl loose bangs or gently flick a fringe to one side or the other.
