The ghd styling teams will be hosting a ghd style-A-thon at several shopping centres across South Africa on Saturday, 1 October 2011. Show your support for those who are battling cancer by having your hair styled and acknowledge the hard work being done by CANSA to educate the public and provide support to all people who are affected by cancer.

One in 29 women is diagnosed with breast cancer every year. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is dedicated to encouraging all women to invest in their health by learning how to detect breast cancer at an early stage. Since 2005, ghd has donated over R1.1 million to CANSA through sales of its annual limited edition Pink styler.

The ghd style-A-thons will take place at shopping centres in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town on Saturday, 1 October 2011 during mall hours. A donation of R50 for adults (R20 for children under 12 years) will enable you to have your hair professionally styled.
Visit the following shopping centres to take part in the ghd style-A-thon:
• Johannesburg: Cresta Shopping Centre and Clearwater Mall
• Pretoria: Menlyn Park Shopping Centre
• Cape Town: Canal Walk Shopping Centre
• Durban: Gateway – Theatre of Shopping

In a bid to raise further funds for CANSA on the day, the 2011 limited edition ghd Pink Orchid styler (R2 380) will also be available to purchase at the ghd style-A-thon. Remember that R100 from each styler sold will be donated to CANSA. Customers will also receive a free ghd Style Curl Hold Spray valued at R195 when they purchase this limited edition styler.

For more information on the ghd style-A-thon visit www.facebook.com/ghdsouthafrica or www.cansa.org.za or call 011 4638601

Once dry, section your hair into 1cm sections and apply ghd Style Curl Hold Spray (R195) to each section as you are working. Using your ghd Gold Classic styler, gently hold your styler on the hair, pull down until you reach your ears and turn 180 degrees before pulling your styler through the hair. Remember to hold the hair in your other hand the whole time, working slowly to create tight curls. Ensure that the top section of your hair stays smooth and flat by clipping the hair in place above your ears. Once you have finished your curls, rouge these using your fingers by pushing the hair up towards your head. Spray liberally with ghd Style Final Fix Hairspray (R150 for 400ml) to hold the look in place.

On day one, Kutloano Mokolomme kicked off the proceeding with a range of frilly, voluminous designs which had been whipped up in a frenzy of silken taffeta. A myriad of frocks swept down the runway, from elegant ensembles to the more unusual hooded variety, making the show a highlight of the week and setting the whole event off to a promising start.

David Tlale always provokes excitement in South Africa’s most glamorous fashionistas and the designer, who has earned the nickname ‘Drama King’, didn’t fail to impress. With an enormous 92 looks, each one representing a year in the life of Nelson Mandela, he showed off Victorian style gowns, checked wool, silk brocade and monochrome outfits.

Elsewhere, classic yet effortless glam was the look of the day at Spero Villiotti, where a glossy collection bursting with beading, sequins and shimmer laden materials sparkled along the runway.

This year they were treated to talks on hair, make up and fashion trends, had their hair done by top ghd experts from salons throughout the country, make up done by Revlon and bra fittings by Wonderbra! Once styled to perfection, they then go on to shoot their own “covers” for their very own Cosmopolitan magazine…
