The Shape of the Lock

GHD Ceramic Styling Wand

What dire offence from snow and ice and rain,
What mighty contests rise from bad hair days in vain,

But lo — a magic styling wand appear,
A handy tool without equal or peer.

Called GHD — quite the rage in London town
But new to Boston; guaranteed to help your crown.

Forged of ceramic, it heats up lightning-fast
And uses heat — not tension — on waves that last.

It locks in moisture, sealing cuticles — and your fate
that makes straight hair plenty curly and curly, straight.

Render sleek twists and flicks light as a feather,
Regardless of your hair type. Or the weather.

Available at Avanti Salon, 11 Newbury Street, second floor, Back Bay (617-267-4027).
