Best GHD Hair Straighteners 2021 Compared By Beauty Editors

In the straighteners arena (still their main area of expertise), there are five different variations available to buy on their website... so if you're a GHD newbie (or you simply want to add to your GHD hair tool arsenal), it can be tricky to know which are best suited to your needs. And hair type. And budget. Enter: our comparative guide to each GHD hair straightening tool and what they do well.

Our beauty editors - each of different hair types and concerns - have used and loved each of them since their release. There's the GHD Platinum+ (the newest straightener drop that predicts your hair type and customises your experience in response) right through to the GHD Max (designed for those with long, thick or curly hair).

Is GHD Platinum better than Original?

While the Original is cheaper and provides a seamless styling experience without any flashy features, the GHD Platinum is the better overall hair tool. Why? It uses predictive heat technology that means the plates adapt to the thickness and density of the individual section of hair that you’re working on. Heat damage is reduced, and split ends are reduced also.

So, which GHD hair straightener is the best? Keep scrolling for our full guide.
