Is the ghd Rise worth it over a curling iron?

If your goal is root volume and body on dry hair, the Rise does it in one pass and is easier than a curling iron. For defined curls or adjustable heat, a curling iron is more flexible.

Can I change the temperature?

No. The barrel holds a constant 185°C, which ghd considers the safe styling temperature. Fine or damaged hair has no cooler option.

Does it work on wet hair?

No. Use it on dry hair only. The bristles are designed to add volume at the roots of already-dry hair.

Is it good for short hair?

It can add lift at the crown, but the 32mm head is large for very short cuts and is easier on shoulder-length or longer hair.

The Rise hot brush with a cold tip and a resting base, plus a 2.7m cord. The plug type depends on the region you buy in.

How does it compare with the ghd Duet Style?

The Duet Style is a flat-iron and dryer hybrid for smoothing wet-to-dry hair. The Rise is a round brush for volume and body on dry hair, so they serve different jobs.

About the ghd Rise Volumising Hot Brush

The ghd Rise is an electric hot brush made to add volume at the roots of dry hair. It uses ultra-zone predictive technology and 5mm nylon bristles to reach the roots. The brush is designed to give 2 times more volume with an all-day effect.

A continuous infinity sensor runs across the 32mm thermal iron and keeps the temperature at a consistent 185ºC while styling. One pass through the hair adds body and movement. It works on all hair types and lengths and can create modern waves or fuller hair.

The thermal iron has a uniform width. The 2.7-meter cord is professional length. A cold tip allows safe handling during styling, and a stable base holds the brush when resting.
