How-to: banish bad hair days – and celebrate the great

If you’re a girl, then odds are you’re always striving to achieve the same thing as every other red-blooded female. A good hair day. Not always easy to fake, waking up to a good hair day really is a major win in the beauty stakes, but let’s be realistic – without a little help, how often does that happen? 

Well, it got a whole lot easier to ensure a good hair day in 2001, when cult hair styling brand ghd launched the first salon-professional hair straightener – the ghd styler. Suddenly, women all over the world realised that achieving a salon-quality style at home no longer had to be such a headache – and we’re all the less stressed for it.

So beauties, in celebration of ghd and its incredible contribution to the hair industry, the brand has named 4 October 2012 as the inaugural National Good Hair Day. The brand is even thanking its fans with a competition that gives you the chance to showcase your good hair day and win! You could score heaps of prizes, including flights and accommodation in Sydney, a ksubi voucher and ghd goodies to boot! Check ghd’s Facebook page for more details on how to enter.

Still looking for ways to banish dreaded bad hair days? There are tonnes of quick fixes and saviours out there that are perfect to keep handy in case a horrendous hair day hits. Have a look through our gallery to see what you should arm yourself with to blitz bad hair days into oblivion…
