From beachy waves to beautiful, bouncy curls and pretty, sleek-straight styles, the famed hair straightener is often the most used and prized hair tool in the drawer, purely for its versatility and easy use.

However, there comes a time when our trusty hair styler of choice is no longer suitable or is not delivering on performance. After all, hair straighteners are just like other electrical appliances which need to be replaced or upgraded after a period of time when our needs change. 

Are you ready to upgrade your hair straightener? Here’s what you need to know:

Which straightener suits you?

We all want salon-worthy healthy hair that oozes effortless style but when we colour our hair, switch up the style or our hair changes its texture (due to stress, hormones or chemical treatments), our hair straightening needs inevitably change too.

Choosing the right hair straightener for your hair type is important – it will not only ensure that you get the best results; it will also help protect your precious locks.

For thicker hair

If your hair is on the thicker side and you’ve struggled to tame frizz and get a smooth finish all the way through your locks in the past, the ghd max wide plate hair straightener is a great option. Using advanced dual-zone technology, these wide plate straighteners are an impressive two inches across, making it easy to glide through thick, long or curly hair to deliver a sleeker finish.

For coloured hair

Have you recently coloured your hair or are you finding that regular colouring is damaging your strands? Now’s the time to invest in the ghd platinum+ hair straightener. This smart hair straightener uses predictive ultra-zone™ technology to recognise the thickness of your hair and styling speed. Plus, it delivers two times more colour protection versus a styler working at 230°C. It automatically monitors the temperature 250 times per second to keep the plates at the optimum heat of 185°C to prevent hair damage. With a rounded barrel for easy curling and waves, achieving healthy, glossy hair in just one stroke is a breeze!

For those on the go

We all lead busy lives, but if you’re constantly travelling or styling your hair on the go, upgrading to the ghd unplugged™ cordless hair straightener can be a huge time saver! It’s all about portable, powerful styling wherever you are! With the guaranteed performance of a regular ghd tool, the unplugged cordless hair straightener offers up to 20 minutes of continuous styling, making it ideal for touch-ups, travelling and quick styling anywhere and anytime.

For shorter hair or fringes

Have you recently cut your hair short or opted for a fringe? Then you might find that the ghd mini slim plate hair straightener is the best choice for your hair needs. Featuring 1/2 inch plates, this mini hair straightener has a narrow barrel that is perfect for styling short curly hairstyles, textured waves, fringes or a simple straight look with ease.
