And then you go to plug them in, and find that they’re up to temp by the time you’re back in your chair…
If you’re looking for something that’ll bring the salon into your own home, a pair of Platinum+ straighteners is just the ticket. These gorgeous straighteners are a joy to use too: They’re predictive, which means that they use an array of sensors to anticipate the thickness of your hair – and the speed you’re styling at – so that they can adjust the power output accordingly.
The Platinum+s also feature ghd’s unique Ultra-zone technology, which monitors the temperature of your hair 250 times a second; allowing your straighteners to make minute adjustments that’ll ensure your hair never gets too hot (or too cold).
They produce salon-quality results every time, and they also straighten far faster than your average straighteners. We find that our hair is pretty much perfect after the first pass, and the glossy, salon-fresh sheen is second to none. Because they’re packed full of predictive technologies, they’re also one of the few straighteners that you can use without worrying about baby hairs, or thick curls. They fine-tune themselves to ensure even and consistent results on every type of hair and they are – without a doubt – our favourite pair of straighteners.
Oh, and that round barrel? Tailor-made for waves, soft curls and other beach-ready styles. In fact, we find that the ghd Platinum+ works almost as well as a dedicated curling iron, which is perfect if you’re going to be trialling some of this summer’s hottest hairstyles.
And speaking of summer fun, it’s also worth knowing that the Platinum+ is made to travel. It uses universal voltage to deliver the same amount of power no matter your location, and its super-long – 3m – power cable means you’ll never struggle to get in front of a mirror, even if you are trying to style your hair in a strange hotel room…
In short? The Platinum+ is basically tailor-made for summer 2019, and this new revamp couldn’t be more on-trend. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your old straightener or just try something new, we’d highly recommend that you take this coachella-themed marvel for a spin.
You won’t be disappointed.
