Beauty news: ghd + Sam McKnight + Rankin = GREAT hair

ghd might be embroiled in a dispute with its former celebrity 'face/mane' Katy Perry, but a good hair day is most definitely on the cards when it comes to their new partnership with the legendary Sam McKnight.

The seriously fabulous British hair stylist - a regular contributor to the likes of British Vogue, LOVE magazine and CR Fashion Book - says he’s always the loved the brand and it appears that the feeling is mutual. “A ghd styler has been an essential in my kit bag for many years," says McKnight, whose first project is based around the amazing new Eclipse styler that I had an extended rave about a couple of months ago. McKnight teamed up with revered photographer Rankin to bring to life just what the Eclipse is capable of on the hair of Dutch-born model Milou Sluis. It features the evolution of texture through five images of Milou and a very cool short film, with the key message “greatness comes to those who create”.

McKnight now has the title of ghd’s Global Creative Director, and I for one cannot wait to see what he and the team come up with next.
