The essential gadget for effortless morning hair – and a date for your diary

Promotional feature with ghd

Longer lie-ins, an extra snooze and a speedy routine – be a #QueenOfTheSheets with the first-ever hot brush from ghd.

Mornings – love them or loathe them, few of us are blessed with ready-styled locks when we wake up. That means as well as making time in the sched for make-up and breakfast, there has to be minutes for turning tangled tresses into enviable sleekness.

We all know a pair of straighteners from hair expert ghd is a beauty essential but now its first-ever hot brush, ghd glide, has marched its way to the top of our wishlist.

Designed for enhancing the smoothness of your hair, the ghd glide is part heat tool, part hairbrush. Its mix of high-density short bristles and longer ones sweep effortlessly through large sections of hair – think sleek, smooth locks in a snap.

It’s also the perfect partner for second-day styling, leaving hair salon-smooth with natural movement, which means more minutes in bed. ‘Making hair smooth and shiny in seconds, the new ghd glide is a blow-dry in brush form,’ says Lisa Oxenham, Marie Claire's beauty and style director.

And, lucky you, you can be one of the first to try it because ghd and Marie Claire will be springing up at London’s Boxpark Shoreditch, Birmingham’s Bullring, Manchester’s Intu Trafford Centre and Briggate Street in Leeds, this month, to treat the nation's tresses with complimentary style appointments. No booking required!
