My new favourite hair tool

This is a fantastic upgrade to my old GHD max which I've had for many years. I'm not great at styling my hair & I'm impatient, so I find larger plates easier to use and quicker overall. The larger plates mean that you can pass through larger sections of hair. The curved shape of these straighteners, as opposed to the flat back of my old GHD max, make it very easy to achieve lovely, loose, beachy waves, something I usually struggle with. It is super quick and easy to straighten my hair. I like to either flick out the ends or slightly turn the ends under rather than having poker straight hair. It is very easy and quick to achieve both these looks with these straighteners. Hair glides through the plates with ease. One pass through is sufficient. Fast heat up time. The shape of these straighteners are very easy to hold & to use. It is very lightweight. I am 61 years old with undyed white/grey hair. My hair is thick & shoulder length. My hair is unruly, quite course & sometimes frizzy if left to dry naturally. I recommend these straighteners if you want an easy way to style your hair or want a styling tool to quickly neaten your hair & remove any frizz. I live in Nottingham.

Excellent straightners

Lovely set of straighteners, love the design, just the one heat setting but straightened my hair lovely, nice size plates, no static after unlike other ones I have used. I really liked the light to show they are still on, fantastic safety feature. Super quick to get to temperature, long enough cord to be able to use easily. I have medium length wavy hair and my hair stayed straight the day after I had used also.

PERFECT for quick and soft styling of long hair

If you have long and thick hair, these are the straighteners for you. I loved that the wide plate gave my hair a softer curl which dropped into a wave throughout the day. I also loved how quickly I could do my hair with the chronos max straighteners. It takes half the time of the normal width straighteners. They also look beautiful on my dressing table. I really liked the new wishbone hinge design and the halo ring which clearly shows when they are ready to use. I’ve also taken the chronos max on a trip recently and the protective cover fits perfectly and stays on when they’re in your travel bag. The only thing which the chronos max don’t do as well for me is the ability to tame the front of my hair where I have lots of short regrowth hair. I need a smaller plate to get right into the root.

Game changer!

The GHD Chronos Max is an amazing product! I previously had the GHD Platinum straighteners in the standard width. The Chronos is a fantastic upgrade - it has reduced my styling time, doesn’t take as many runs over each section to achieve a better result. I have naturally curly hair and a bit of frizz to it, the Chronos max gets rid of all the frizz and the results really last. It can withstand moisture better now. The wide plates also make it much quicker on my long hair. I have used the tool to curl and wave my hair as well, it gives a great lasting result. The wide plates mean it is more suited to adding waves but curls have been possible. Would definitely recommend this product.

Smooth, shiny, sleek and so so straight!

I have used these new straighteners multiple times and they have been amazing. My hair usually struggles to stay straight no matter what I use. These are the first straighteners that have kept my hair super straight the whole day. My hair looks healthy and very shiny. I would recommend these to anyone particularly those who struggle to keep their hair straight the whole day! 5* product. No one does straighteners like GHD!
