How is the ghd Gold different from the ghd Platinum+?

The Platinum+ adds predictive heat sensors and a lower 185°C setting. The Gold runs at a fixed 365°F and is the simpler, cheaper option.

Can I adjust the temperature?

No. The Gold has no temperature dial and runs at one fixed setting, so fine or fragile hair may need a heat protectant.

Is it good for curling as well as straightening?

Yes. The rounded 1-inch barrel works for waves and curls, and the plates are narrow enough for shorter hair.

Yes, it has universal voltage, so it works with a plug adapter in most countries.

Does it turn itself off?

Yes. It enters sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity.

About the ghd Gold Professional Styler

The ghd Gold is a 1-inch ceramic flat iron aimed at everyday straightening and curling. Its dual-zone heaters hold a steady 365°F across both plates, which ghd says reduces hot spots and keeps styling temperature consistent. It is simpler than the ghd Platinum+, which adds predictive sensors and a lower 185°C setting, but it costs less and suits most hair types. Reviewers rate it highly for smooth results and quick heat-up, though some find the fixed temperature limiting for fine or fragile hair.
