If I had a pound for every time a friend told me they had a pair of GHD hair straighteners on their wish list, I’d be sunning myself in St. Barts with all of the celebrities this Christmas. It’s because the brand’s straighteners are iconic, they’re some of the best hair straighteners on the market. But with quite a few different styles now available, which are the best GHD straighteners?

The British beauty brand launched its first pair of straighteners in 2001, which were sold exclusively in salons. Since then the brand and its tools have gone from strength to strength and it soon became one of the fastest-growing companies in the world. Not only are they loved across the globe by professional stylists, but they’re still the number one choice for at-home styling. The brand has won countless awards and each year the technology advances and the stylers get smarter and smarter.

There are stylers to suit every need and preference – whether you’re looking to style your hair in a certain way or need a hair type-specific tool, there’s something for everyone. So let me take you through each one…

I’ve looked at everything from plate width and weight to cord length and price. Let’s find you the best GHD straighteners to add to your basket. Plus, some of the popular hair tools are currently reduced in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, so grab yourself a bargain while you can!

1. GHD Platinum+ Styler, was £219 now £179 | Amazon

GHD Platinum+ Styler - best ghd hair straighteners

Plates | Ceramic-coated Heat Settings | 1x (185°C) Cord Length | 2.7m

The Platinum+ Styler is hands down the best GHD straightener. It’s clever, it’s effective and it does so much more than straighten. Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but the plates are specifically designed so that they are constantly monitoring your hair so as not to overheat and cause any damage. It also features some whizzy technology that scans your hair at regular intervals, looking at things like hair thickness. The smooth ceramic plates allow you to curl your hair in lots of different ways, meaning you can create a range of looks with just this one tool.

We spoke to Zoe Irwin, GHD’s Global Ambassador, who said that the Platinum+ Styler is one of her favourite ones to use. “It’s the best that you can get. It will give you incredible shine and it glides through the hair really beautifully. For people that are continually styling their hair, always go for Platinum+.”

For those of us who are constantly on the go, the GHD Cordless Hair Straightener means you can have salon-worthy hair no matter where your day might take you. Promising the same performance as a full-sized GHD straightener while weighing 35% lighter, this miniature version provides 20 minutes of styling so that you can touch up your look when needed. Due to the styling time, this straightener may be more suited to those with short to medium hairstyles. The USB-C charging cable means it can be charged anywhere from your car to a plane or even a laptop, and it comes with a handy heat-resistant carry case.

If you love creating effortless waves and curls, but don’t fancy having to buy a separate curling wand, then the GHD Gold Hair Straightener is definitely the one for you. With its sleek design and rounded barrel, this hair tool was made with curling in mind. It has a 25 second heat up time and a super lightweight feel, so you can create a range of looks in little to no time at all. Need we say more?

Speaking about the GHD Gold Styler, Zoe Irwin said: “I love Gold because the plate of it is very slightly different so it gets a bit more of a kick. So if I’m doing a particularly waved look, Gold is really fantastic.”

For all the shorter hairstyles out there, don’t worry, as there is a GHD styler just for you too! The GHD Mini Hair Straightener features 1/2 inch plates, perfect for styling shorter hair and fringes, or creating tight curls. Due to its size, it may feel a little flimsy, however it offers a very similar power to other GHD models.
