ghd Max Professional Hair Straightener

Product Information

The Gold heats up in under 30 seconds, and uses two heat sensors to maintain an even temperature across each plate. Overall this model is heavier than some of the other GHDs, however, the Gold is solidly built and glides through the hair easily for ‘one-stroke straightening’ on most hair types. Straight and curled styles both stay in place well all day after styling, and for safety there’s an automatic shut-off after 30 minutes. For straight styles, ghd's most advanced hair straighteners implement floating plates to avoid snags and keep your hair sleeker for longer, with auto-shut technology for your peace of mind.

Dual-zone technology: Two new generation heat sensors instead of one; controls the optimum heat from root to tip for smoother, sleeker & healthier looking hair Both ghd stylers are seriously intelligent tools that feature advanced technology. When compared to the Original styler, these tools are in a league of their own – delivering salon-worthy results at record speed without significantly damaging or snagging strands. Both tools feel luxurious to hold and will certainly look the part on top of your dressing table. GHD’s Gold model of straightener differs from its brandmates as a result of its lightweight, rounded barrel that makes it easy to manoeuvre the tool around the head. This barrel design is also particularly good for creating straightener curls and waves – simply wrap your hair around the barrel where you’d like the curl to start, and allow your hair to roll around the barrel as you draw the tool through your hair. Hey presto! Flowing straightener curls.

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? ghd's original styler is a classic staple, offering classically excellent results. Ghd gold takes that extra step in luxury, offering dual-zone floating plate technology and a golden-gloss finish. Styling a full head of mid-length hair will take longer than it would with a full-sized tool, but the Mini is absolutely ace for perfecting short styles. The smaller size also makes the Mini a great alternative to the Unplugged as a travel styler, if you’re straightening on-the-go and are happy to plug in your tool. The ghd gold® hair straightener features dual-zone technology, which uses heat sensors on both plates, to maintain an optimum hair-straightening temperature of 185°C achieving a salon-smooth finish. temperature for optimum styling: Any hotter it will damage the hair, any cooler and the style will be compromisedThe best GHD hair straighteners you can buy 2023 1. GHD Platinum Plus Styler: Best for straightening curly hair Ceramic plates: they are slower to warm up than other materials, but they distribute heat more evenly. They tend to be cheaper too, but are more prone to chipping. ghd's top-selling classic hair straighteners, like the ghd Original IV Hair Straightener and the ghd Mini/Max Styler, provide ceramic coated plates to deliver that iconic smooth finish across all hair types. 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. On first impressions, the Platinum+ and Gold look very similar with their curved, barrel designs and metallic grey plates. But on closer inspection, we spotted a few key differences. Firstly, the two-piece hinge seen on the Gold model has been updated on the Platinum+ with a ‘wishbone’ hinge and a single curve. This gives the styler an overall sleeker look and helps improve control as you can open and close the tool effortlessly without pulling or catching hair.
