- Is the GHD Platinum+ worth it over the GHD Gold?
- The Platinum+ adds predictive heat control and a rounded body for curling, while the Gold uses dual-zone plates at a fixed temperature. If you only straighten and want to spend less, the Gold covers it; if you curl and want the most even heat, the Platinum+ is the stronger pick.
- Can I change the temperature?
- No. It runs at a single 365°F setting that adjusts itself through predictive technology. That suits most hair types but gives you no lower setting for fine or chemically treated hair.
- How fast does it heat up?
- GHD rates it at about 20 seconds to full heat, and owners generally confirm it is ready quickly. A light and tone indicate when it is up to temperature.
- What is in the box?
- The straightener, a heat-resistant glove and a plate guard for storage. The cord is about 106 inches with a swivel base.
- Does it work on wet hair?
- No. Like most flat irons, it should be used on dry hair; the plates seal in moisture and can damage damp hair.
- Does it shut off automatically?
- Yes, it powers down after 30 minutes of inactivity, which owners like as a safety backstop.
