It’s time to celebrate summer and a welcome (and safe!) return to salons, with the latest collection from ghd. Created in collaboration with session stylist Chris Southern, the Summer Collection ’21 is a love letter to the music industry and features inspiration from strong female icons of the 90s and early 00s.

Packed full of new ideas and techniques – just like your favourite Noughties mix CD – the collection is set to inspire stylists and salons with dynamic ways to work with the full range of ghd styling tools and complementary heat protection styling products.

Chris is a session stylist and ghd educator who works with names including Little Mix, Maya Jama, Steps and drag superstar Courtney Act. “This collection brings together all the trends I’m excited about right now,” he says, “and has a heavy influence from my work in the music and fashion industry.”

Formed of six styles, the Summer Collection ’21 features exciting techniques built around ghd’s award-winning range of styling tools. They provide the perfect point of difference for salons, allowing hairdressers to create an ontrend menu of looks with a celebrity influence.

SUMMER LUXE

Super glossy lengths achieved with ghd max and ghd straight on, with face-framing twisted details, this look allows for personalisation with hair accessories – keep it simple or pile them on.

SHAPE UP

Created with ghd body goals and the ghd helios comb attachment for control and shape, this look features two ponytails twisted together for a modern updo with a fresh silhouette.

A-FLICKTED

These supersize flicks are crafted with the ghd platinum+ and ghd bodyguard to create a retro inspired shape with a modern feel.

BEACH LUXE

This look takes beach waves up a notch with a glam faux-blow, achieved with the ghd max styler – perfect for thick, long hair.

BOUND BRAID

Elevating those salon back-of-head shots and inspired by braiding and accessories, this look uses the ghd platinum+ to create texture and a leather ribbon to add contrasting textural interest.

SNATCHY VERSACE

A little bit Ariana, a little bit Madonna, this super-sleek ponytail is all about height and length, finished with the ghd platinum+ for flawless flicks
