Is the Chronos Max good for thick hair?

Yes. The 1.7-inch plates take wider sections, so thick and long hair straightens in fewer passes than with a 1-inch iron.

How is it different from ghd's standard styler?

The plates are wider, which speeds up styling on long or thick hair. The trade-off is a larger, heavier body that is less nimble for short hair and roots.

Can it curl hair as well as straighten it?

Yes. The rounded barrel edges let you wrap sections for curls and waves, though the wide plates suit loose bends better than tight curls.

Does it have adjustable temperature?

No. Like other ghd stylers, it runs at a single optimized temperature rather than offering a temperature dial.

Shoppers with short hair, bangs or fine hair may prefer a slimmer iron, since the wide plates are harder to control close to the roots.

About the ghd Chronos Max Styler

The ghd Chronos Max Styler is a wide-plate flat iron with 1.7-inch ceramic plates, built for thick, long or curly hair that takes time to straighten. The extra-wide plates cover more hair per pass than ghd's standard 1-inch stylers, so full-head styling goes faster. ghd's ultra-zone heat control holds a steady temperature across the plates, and the rounded barrel edges let you curl as well as straighten. Owners rate it highly for speed and shine, though some find the wide body bulky for short hair and tight work near the roots.
