Frequently asked questions
Is this the right ghd model for first-time buyers?
Yes. The Original Styler is ghd's longest-running and lowest-priced 1-inch flat iron. The Chronos and Platinum+ add features like quicker heat-up and color-protection tech, but cost more. For pure straightening, all three perform similarly day-to-day.
Will it work in Europe with a plug adapter?
Yes, it has universal dual-voltage (100 to 240V), so a simple plug adapter is all you need. No voltage converter required.
How long does it take to heat up?
About 25 to 30 seconds from cold to the full 365 degree F operating temperature. The audio indicator beeps when ready.
Can it create curls and waves too?
Yes, the rounded barrel housing lets you twist the iron through hair to create soft waves or large curls. Tighter curls are easier with a dedicated curling wand.
