Our take on the ghd Gold Styler Hair Straightener

The ghd Gold Styler is a ceramic flat iron with dual-zone heat sensors that hold the plates at 185°C, and it heats up in about 25 seconds. Its rounded barrel and floating plates let you straighten, wave or curl, and it sleeps after 30 minutes idle. It is a mid-range ghd model, below the Platinum+ and above the original Classic, and its latest best price sits near the low end of its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is the ghd Gold Styler worth it?
Yes for most shoppers who straighten regularly: it heats fast, holds a steady 185°C and doubles as a curler. If you need adjustable heat for fine or colored hair, a model with a temperature dial suits you better.
How is it different from the ghd Platinum+?
The Platinum+ uses predictive ultra-zone technology and adjusts heat to your hair, while the Gold holds a fixed 185°C with dual-zone sensors. The Gold is cheaper and simpler; the Platinum+ costs more and adapts to hair thickness.
Does it have a battery?
No. The ghd Gold Styler is corded and needs a wall outlet. There is no cordless version of this model.
What is in the box?
The styler and a protective plate guard. A heat-resistant pouch or travel case is not included.
Can I use it on wet hair?
No. Dry your hair first; the plates are meant for dry styling, and using it on wet hair risks damage.
When is it cheapest?
ghd irons usually drop during Black Friday, holiday sales and mid-year promotions. Its latest best price is already near the low end of its recent range, so waiting may not save much.
