What's The Difference Between Ghd Hair Straightener Models?

We love ghd hair straighteners, or hair stylers, here at mcIntyres but something we get asked a lot is just what is the difference between the range?

ghd’s range adheres to the ‘good, better, best’ school of thought so even the budget choice of the ghd original IV styler is a great choice that’ll deliver a salon level of styling and straightening.

From there the range takes in the ghd mini hair straightener, perfect for fringes and shorter hair, and the ghd max styler with its wider plates, great for thick or curly hair.

Next is the ghd Gold styler and the premium ghd platinum+ hair straighteners. Finally there is also the new ghd unplugged cordless hair straighteners for touch ups on the go.

On top of these models, ghd has numerous limited editions and collaborative release. These include Christmas 2021 warm pewter finish range and the annual pink collection with proceeds going to breast cancer charity.

Where the range of ghd hair straighteners varies, besides mini or max plate size, is the technology used in each to monitor and optimise temperature for optimum styling.
