Our take on the ghd Classic Professional Performance Styler 1 inch

The ghd Classic 1-inch styler is a ceramic flat iron built for daily straightening and curling. It heats to 365°F in about 30 seconds and holds that temperature steady, which ghd says is the sweet spot for styling without scorching. Owners praise its smooth glide and lasting results, though some find it basic next to newer irons with adjustable heat and auto shut-off. It suits people who want a dependable, simple tool and don't need extras.
