ghd platinum plus review
The classic ghd straightener is an icon in the hair world, yet somehow the brand always seems to top it with another epic release – this time the new ghd platinum+, which is supposed to take heat styling to a whole new (safer, shinier) level.

The biggest difference with this iteration of the OG ghd platinum is that it responds to your hair’s individual needs. Predictive technology is able to identify the thickness of your hair, how big the section of hair is, and what speed you’re working at – then it adjusts the power accordingly.
It also has high-tech sensors that monitor the temperature of the styler 250 times per second to ensure that you never scorch your strands. And less heat stress means shinier, healthier hair without sacrificing a heat styler altogether. It’ll even heat up in just 20 seconds. I don’t know about you, but I was sold!
Being a massive fan of everything ghd do, I couldn’t wait to try the platinum+! As soon as I got my hands on one, I ran straight into the studio to film this first impressions video. So if you’re curious about the new ghd platinum+, watch the video above for my review.

I keep on promising myself a GHD for years, but my current straightener just keeps on going on and on, and I feel too guilty to replace it until it stops working!

Same issue I have. I want a GHD straightener so much by my old straighter works fine.

Great video, however I was lucky enough to win a rose gold hair straightener in a little market in the town I am at the moment. And this has shown me how to use it,once I am over treatment.But I couldn’t believe how expensive this is

You make curling looks so easy! I use a straightener about once a year so I wouldn’t buy one of these, but for those of you that do this looks like it would be worth every cent.

I had a ghd platinum that I rarely used, so I passed it along to my niece.

Looks good. I bought a GHD a couple of years ago amd it was terrible for my hair, and that was only from a couple of uses a week. Am hesitant to buy another but the sensor and protection settings look like a great upgrade.
