To get that curtain bang flip, blow dry the sections up and away from the face. When you’re left with only a mohawk section, take out the front of your hair or your fringe, and blow dry it back and forth, taking care of any cowlicks. Continue working your way up using the same technique. For added body and movement, once a section is dry, use the brush to twist the hair away from the face creating a loose curl. Using your round brush, take sections the same length and width as your brush barrel and smooth them out. Apply product and rough dry the hair until it’s 80% dry. Sarah Contey: Quick blowout with the ghd Helios. Finishing by styling the fringe up and away from the face. She uses Helios and a round brush to finish drying while smoothing the hair, going section by section. She then begins to comb out her hair and rough dry to 80% dryness. The woman holds up the Orchid Pink Helios Hair Dryer while wearing a black shirt in front of a gray background. Black title card with white title: QUICK “S” WAVES and subtitle WITH GHD PLATINUM+. An investment we highly recommend you make.Black title card with white ghd logo. As a result, the Helios is unlikely to be an impulse buy and will be considered an investment. Sadly, £159 for a hair dryer will be out of the reach of many people meaning its superior performance is out of reach, too. Until the release of the GHD Helios, our go-to dryer was the Dyson Supersonic. A dryer that surpassed most of our, already high, expectations and one that we’ve found ourselves gravitating towards over every other hair dryer in our collection. Just as cheaper rivals were starting to catch up on, and overtake, the power and performance of the original Air hair dryer, GHD has come out swinging with the Helios. This was disappointing, particularly when everything else was going so well. It’s almost as if the flow of air is so powerful, it beats the hair into submission. Helios’ lightning speed and precision, which made our hair so smooth and shiny, left it lacking volume. Two weeks into testing and our hair definitely feels stronger and we’re seeing fewer breakages and less hair loss in the shower. After every use, our hair was almost frizz-free with only minimal flyaways and we never once had to resort to running straighteners over it to complete the look. We didn’t even have to sacrifice hair quality and shine for this improved speed, either. Again, a minute faster than the Dyson Supersonic. With the concentrator nozzle attached to the Helios – a nozzle which has been made thinner with a curved edge designed to reduce turbulence – it took us just two minutes and 20 seconds to style our hair. The Helios was similarly a minute and eight seconds faster than the Supersonic at drying our hair after a swim, offering a total dry time of 1 minute and 50 seconds. This meant our hair was rough dried in 1 minute and 6 seconds and is an absolute game changer. The Helios took an entire minute off this time. Until the Helios, the Dyson Supersonic was the fastest dryer – taking our hair from wet from a shower to completely dry in 2 minutes 6 seconds. Not just in comparison to the Air, but when pitted against the drying speeds of every hair dryer we’ve ever tested. When it comes to speed, the Helios similarly smashed it out of the park. It is noticeably less loud in real-world use, and when measured with a decibel meter, it’s a whole two decibels quieter than the Air. We’ve already confirmed it’s lighter, but does it live up to the other claims? Yes – very much so! Its motor is marginally more powerful – up from 2,100w on the Air to 2,200w – and the holes in its grille have apparently been redesigned to reduce noise. GHD claims its Helios is “faster, lighter and quieter” than the Air. Everything else, including the placement of the two-speed and dual-temperature switches, the cold shot button and the branded grille are almost an exact copy and paste from the Air.
