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.

Will you be trying the new ghd platinum+?
I’ve got a GHD straightener but unfortunately I still don’t have the skills to really make the most of it. Super jealous of how Kate did those curls so easily!
I am looking to buy one of these now.
Would love to try GHD products but the price range is way over my budget. The scarlet straightener looks amazing, has 2 short, but positive BH reviews but unfortunately was a limited edition.
