Key features of our hair straighteners

Our hair straighteners are loved all around the world, but what makes ghd different from the other heat stylers on the market? Here's how we manage to stay on top of the competition after so many years:

Optimum styling temperature of 185 degrees

One of our biggest fundamentals is keeping our hair straighteners operating at an optimal styling temperature to prevent excess heat damage. If you've got a styler that boasts a maximum temperature of higher than 200 degrees, throw it out. ghd's all operate at 185 degrees, which has been proven to be the optimum temperature for healthy hair and long-lasting styles.

What's so special about 185 degrees? Well, anything higher than 190 degrees will cause internal damage to your hair and lead to irreversible effects, which you'll need to wait to grow out on its own. Anything cooler than 160 degrees can damage the external layer of your hair's cuticle, which will stop the hair from keeping a hold of the style. 185 degrees is the sweet spot between these two extremes.

Safety features like automatic shut-off

Most of our straighteners have an automatic shut-off function, which can protect your home, belongings, or even yourself from burns. After a certain period of inactivity, our stylers will turn it off so you can rest assured that your straighteners are safely cooling down, even if you forget to turn them off. This is just one example of the safety features we utilise for our hair straighteners.

Professional and luxurious stylers that deliver salon-worthy results

ghd is beloved by professional hair stylists, so we design all of our products to this high standard! Each of our stylers comes with its own blend of our expertly designed technology to offer its own benefits, including unique HD motion-responsive™ and Dual-zone™ technology. Make sure you choose the best styler for your hair, and we'll guarantee your happiness and satisfaction after each use.

Straighteners to suit all hair types & styles

We pride ourselves on offering hair stylers for all hair types and styles, so look below for a cheat sheet on which is the best option for you:

  • Chronos: All hair types, especially for people with coloured, damaged, or breakage-prone hair.
  • Chronos Max: Best for long, thick hair with coarser textures like wavy, curly, and afro.
  • Duet Style: The Duet Style is perfect for every hair type, length, and texture.
  • Platinum+: Any hair length, and particularly beneficial for brightly coloured hair.
  • Gold: Perfect for any hair length and texture, with a fine to medium thickness.
  • Mini: Ideal for short hair or style-heavy fringes.
  • Unplugged: Amazing for people with any hair type, length or texture who are ready to jet off and wow around the world!
  • Original: Perfect for fine to medium hair with a straight to wavy texture.
