In just one minute and six seconds, our hair went from wet out of the shower to dry. This is a minute faster than the Supersonic, which itself is a minute faster than the competition. It was slightly slower at drying our hair after a swim – 1 minute and 50 seconds. By comparison, the GHD Air took a little under four minutes for the latter. What’s more, despite this test only rough drying our hair, we didn’t feel the need to use straighteners to complete the look and smooth flyaways. A rarity.

Built with the same floating ceramic plates as the rest of the GHD range, the Mini delivers a smooth and silky finish with no snaggles. And the slim plates mean that there will be no kinks or bumps at the roots when you straighten shorter hair. The rounded barrel means you can create waves and curls, even on shorter hair. Today, the brand has expanded from its original straightener to offer around half a dozen different models of GHD straighteners, suitable for a range of hair types. GHD has also extended into hair dryers and hot brushes, allowing the creation of a vast range of styles and looks, from super-sleek straight hair to fashionably beachy waves. Hair health remains a priority for GHD, with new models featuring intelligent heat sensors and protective technology that reduces damage to heat-treated hair. The design of the GHD Helios and GHD Air is remarkably similar, from the location and design of the power, heat and cold shot buttons (a literal copy and paste job from the GHD Air) to the overall shape, the branded grille and the metal that sweeps around the rear of the dryer. Yet instead of looking like siblings, the two dryers are more like cousins.Designed for ultimate comfort while styling, the ghd helios hair dryer is lightweight, ergonomically balanced and fitter with bespoke acoustic system technology to ensure low sound levels when in use. This hair dryer has ionic technology to reduce frizzy hair and flyaways. The best GHD hair straighteners you can buy 2023 1. GHD Platinum Plus Styler: Best for straightening curly hair

When it comes to styling, the iron aims to do double duty. Let’s be real: a decent chunk of straightening irons are just that: straightening irons. But with curved edges that glide with the hair, the GHD Platinum Plus Styler allows for beach waves, curls, mermaid crimps, and more. Plus the swivel cord can be moved any which way for comfortable styling. To see if this hot tool is *actually* a game changer or just another styler to stow away in the bathroom cabinet, I put it to the test. Why I’m Obsessed All GHD hair straighteners heat up to 185ºC, which the brand says is the optimal temperature for damage-free heat styling. The premium straighteners in the range come with intelligent heat-sensing technology that monitors and adjusts the temperature of the tool as you straighten, helping to maintain the correct temperature for styling without risk of scorching or heat damage. If you straighten your hair often then you may want to consider spending a little more on a tool that includes this heat-sensing technology. What size heating plates are best for me? The rounded barrel of the platinum+ is perfect for creating a myriad of on-point styles, from loose waves to a flawless straight. For ultimate styling control, the unique wishbone hinge holds the precision-milled plates in perfect alignment for ease of use and snag-free styling.Make every day a good hair day with the professional ghd hair dryer range.
