This new and improved design makes it perfect for long, wavy, or curly hair, leaving it with 80% more shine⁷ and 2x less frizz⁸.

Choosing a hair straightener for different hair textures

Our best hair straightener for volume is the duet style, which dries and styles hair at the same time without damaging it to leave you with plenty of volume and shine. With an optimum heat setting of 185 degrees that's monitored 250x every second, you can enjoy a salon-quality blow-dry after every shower.

Key features of our hair straighteners

We think our hair straighteners are the best - and we're not the only ones. But why are our stylers beloved by the masses, and what features have got us to the top spot of Australia's no.1 straightener brand*? We'll tell you below:

Hair straightening at optimum styling temperatures

Some hair stylers boast the fact that they come with higher temperatures of between 200 and 250 degrees, but this isn't actually a benefit at all. ghd caps all of our straighteners at 185 degrees, which has been proven as the optimum temperature for long-lasting style and healthy hair with as little damage as possible.

Styling your hair at 190 degrees or hotter can cause internal damage and lead to irreversible effects while using a straightener too cool (below 160 degrees) can lead to external damage to the cuticle. Our optimum styling temperature is perfect for keeping your hair looking amazing while also feeling healthy and protected.

Straighteners that automatically turn off

The majority of our straighteners come with an automatic shut-off function, which not only saves you energy but can also prevent you from burning yourself or things around your home. While it's easy to think you'll never forget to turn your straighteners off before getting on with your day, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Professional straighteners with luxury designs that leave you with salon-worthy results

Our range of professional straighteners is known for its sleek design and salon-quality results - just look at how many salon professionals use and recommend us! Each of our stylers comes with its own unique blend of our technology, whether that be our predictive ultra-zone technology, dual-zone sensors, or wide plates for long and curly hair. As long as you choose the best styler for your hair, we guarantee that you'll be happy with your professional straighteners that leave you with salon-worthy results, every single time.

Straighteners that suit all hair types & styles

In the same way that our straighteners all have their unique set of technologies, they are also optimised for certain hair types and styles. We have something for everyone, like:

  • Chronos: All hair types, especially those suffering from breakage and fragility.
  • Duet Style: Long, short, straight, curly - the Duet Style is perfect for everyone.
  • Platinum+: Any hair length, and perfect for coloured hair such as bright blondes or vibrant fashion colours.
  • Max: Best for long or thick hair with wavy and curly patterns.
  • Gold: Designed for ultimate convenience, they're great for any hair length with fine to medium thickness and texture.
  • Mini: Ideal for short hair and fringes as their slimmer plates can get up close and personal with the roots.
  • Unplugged: Amazing for any hair type, length or texture, so anyone who needs their style touching up on the go can benefit!
  • Original: Similar to the Gold, this styler is perfect for any hair length as long as it's fine to medium thickness and straight to wavy.
