THE SCIENCE OF STRAIGHT

Achieving perfectly straight hair is not as easy as smoothening hair between two plates, it’s a careful balance of science and engineering paired with the craft of professional styling, a balance ghd has perfected over the years…

HEAT TRANSFER

For a perfect pressed style, it is important to have an even and consistent heat transfer from styler to hair. This is maximised with 85% larger plates7 within Chronos Max combined with the HD motion-responsive technology.

PREP YOUR HAIR

After using a smoothing shampoo and conditioner to eliminate frizz, apply a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep hair hydrated, and for extra care, apply ghd rehab for extra hydration and nourishment to help seal split ends for up to 10 washes.
