Our take on the ghd Max Styler 2" Wide Plate Flat Iron

The ghd Max Styler is a wide-plate flat iron with 2-inch ceramic plates, built for long, thick or curly hair that takes too long with a standard 1-inch iron. Its plates are wider than the ghd Original and ghd Platinum+, so it covers more hair per pass, and it uses ghd's predictive heating to hold a steady 365°F. It lacks the Platinum+'s adaptive heat sensors and the Chronos's ultra-fast heat-up, but it costs less than those models. Reviewers with heavy hair say it cuts styling time noticeably; those with fine or short hair often find it too wide and bulky.

What reviewers say

  • 4.6 / 52,000 ratings

Owners with long, thick hair rate it highly for speed and smooth results, and the 4.6 average reflects that. Complaints center on the fixed temperature, the bulk, and the lack of fine control for thin or damaged hair.

Questions and answers

Is the ghd Max Styler worth it over the ghd Original?
If you have long or thick hair, yes: the wider plates finish faster and the heat holds steadier. For short or fine hair, the Original's 1-inch plates are easier to control.
Does it work on curly or coily hair?
It handles loose curls and waves well when you work in small sections. Tight coils need a narrower iron or a comb attachment to reach the roots.
Can I change the temperature?
No. It runs at a fixed 365°F, which ghd considers safe for most hair. If you need lower heat for fine or colored hair, look at the Platinum+ or an adjustable iron.
How does it compare with the ghd Platinum+?
The Max has wider plates and costs less, but the Platinum+ adds adaptive heat sensors and a cooler-touch body. Choose the Max for speed on thick hair, the Platinum+ for heat control.
What is in the box?
The styler, a heat-resistant plate guard and the instruction booklet. A travel case is not included.
Does it shut off automatically?
Yes, it sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity, which helps if you leave it on.
