The amazing state of the art technology allows this flat iron to reach high temperatures in 30 seconds.

Most flat irons allow you to achieve straight hair, but with the GHD Straightener you can do much more thanks to its rounded barrel design. Use it to straighten, create waves, and curl your hair.

Plate Material

Ceramic Coated, High Gloss Finish
The Classic Ghd Straightener is ceramic coated. GHD pioneered the use of ceramic technology. The unique ceramic technology allows the GHD straightener to heat up in just 30 seconds. Ceramic helps seal in hair natural’s moisture. This  means is if you live in a humid climate you don’t have to worry about your hair getting bigger and frizzier over the course of the day.

Although other flat irons may emit negative ions and infrared heat, they often use PTC or copper heating elements which can dry hair out. The GHD uses a ceramic heating element which results in a larger portion of infrared and negative ions, both of which minimize damage to your hair. The plates have high gloss finish that allow the flat iron to glide through hair effortlessly.

Plate Size

1″
This GHD straightener has one inch plates. In general the shorter your hair the smaller plate width size you want. The longer your hair the larger plate width size you want. If you have longer hair and want to do more hair at a time some people prefer a flat iron with larger plates. However, this comes at the expense of control and versatility. The most popular sized flat iron is about 1 inch in length which is the perfect size for just about anyone and it gives you the styling control you need.

Temperature

Auto Adjusts To Hair Type

You may be surprised on such a high end flat iron that the GHD Straightener doesn’t have a temperature control setting. Unfortunately, there is no heat control on the GHD. However, the GHD irons have a temperature control chip in them that automatically adjusts to the right temperature setting based on the texture of your hair. That way it doesn’t burn your hair.

The built-in microprocessor monitors and regulates the blade temperature 5 times a second. This eliminates all the unnecessary trial and error associated with finding the correct temperature. It gets to a max heat of around 400, but averages around 350.The automatic temperature setting on the GHD straightener is amazing but we would have liked to also see a manual temperature control as well.

Because other flat irons cool when they touch your hair, you have to make another pass to do the ends. With the GHD straightener the flat iron has advanced circuitry that ensures that the flat iron stays at the same temperature from root to tip.

Perfect For Normal To Thick Wavy Hair Types

The GHD does not allow you to control the temperature. The temperature on the GHD reaches temperatures between 350 and 400 degrees. This is perfect for people with normal to thick hair. It should even work for most people with curly hair. It might be too damaging for people with thin or fine hair. People with very coarse hair may want to get a flat iron that gets hotter.

We also looked at 200 different reviews of people with different hair types. Here’s what customers with different hair types rated it out of 5.

If you are just looking for an ordinary hair straightener you can find cheaper flat irons that are comparable to the GHD straightener. However, if you are looking for an all in one styler and what is considered to be the holy grail flat iron on the market by many look no further than the GHD straightener. It heats up in 30 seconds, features a safety shutoff, and can be used anywhere in the world, but what we are most excited about is its styling features.

There is a reason many people consider the GHD Straightener to be the “Rolls Royce Of Flat Irons”. It’s expensive, but it’s so much more than just a flat iron. With its unique design, GHD straightener can do so much more than straightener hair. You be able to easily get curls, flips, waves, and styles that only celebrities dream of. If you love styling hair then GHD straightener is for you. There’s even a DVD included that shows you eight different styles you can do with your GHD straightener. The only problem is that it is expensive. It is an investment. We think it’s worth it.

*Review Note: What is the difference between the classic and professional GHD?

The classic is the older version where as the professional is the new and improved one. Both of them perform just as well. You can find the classic for a bit less.
