Introducing the ghd original hair straightener - The cult classic that started it all. This classic straightener is the perfect choice for those starting their good hair journey.
The single-zone™ ceramic technology maintains the optimum styling temperature of 185°C across both styling plates, for lasting results with no extreme heat. The original ghd hair straightener is perfect for simple styling, with a rounded barrel to effortlessly create soft waves, bouncy curls or poker straight looks. The iconic golden floating plates have a smooth gloss coating to deliver a shiny finish, 8/10 agree¹.
With universal voltage and a 30 second heat up time, you can quickly create your signature ghd style anywhere in the world. While automatic sleep mode gives you the confidence that your styler will switch off after 30 minutes without use. Ergonomic design and 360° swivel cord allow for flexible styling, so you can achieve good hair days with ease.
For that perfect partnership pair the ghd original styler with ghd bodyguard - heat protect spray for ultimate heat protection.
If you're looking to easily create multiple styles, you'll love the ghd gold® styler. With advanced technology and dual-zone heat sensors, it creates a salon-smooth finish from root to tip.

What's the difference between ghd Original and ghd Gold?
Both style at 185°C, but they use different heat technology. ghd Original uses single-zone™ technology to keep both plates at 185°C. ghd Gold uses dual-zone technology, with a heat sensor in each plate for an even temperature from root to tip. ghd Gold also heats up faster, in 25 seconds rather than 30. Compare all ghd straighteners.
Who is ghd Original best for?
ghd Original suits anyone buying their first ghd who wants simple styling. It is designed for any hair length, fine to medium thickness, straight to wavy texture and uncoloured hair. Its rounded barrel creates sleek straight looks, soft waves and curls. For a wider range of styles, choose ghd Gold.
What temperature does ghd Original heat to?
ghd Original styles at 185°C, ghd's optimum styling temperature. Single-zone™ ceramic technology keeps both plates at 185°C as you style, and it heats up in 30 seconds. Read why ghd styles at 185°C.
Why is my ghd Original flashing red and beeping?
It has gone into sleep mode. ghd Original switches off after 30 minutes without use, and then the light flashes and it beeps every 20 seconds. Switch it off and on again to keep styling. If it flashes or beeps while you are using it, contact our customer care team.
Is ghd Original dual voltage?
Yes. ghd Original has universal voltage, so you can use it in other countries. Check that the voltage on its rating label covers the local supply, and use a plug adaptor for the socket type where you are travelling.
