WHY DON'T GHD STYLERS HAVE A TEMPERATURE CONTROL?

Scientists at the ghd R&D facility in Cambridge UK have concluded that the optimum temperature for straightening and styling hair without causing any damage is 185 Degrees C. ghd Stylers have therefore been developed and manufactured with an ON/OFF button only. When turned on the ghd Styler will heat up to 185 Deg C is a few seconds.

We recommend that you use the ghd Heat Protect Spray when straightening your hair. The spray will safeguard your hair from heat damage during styling.
