SMOOTH , STRAIGHT , SILKY , SLEEK , SO SATISFYING

I love these new hair straighteners. They are very light weight compared to my old straighteners and they are well ergonomically designed . The new case for them feels nice and soft and is large enough to hold my paddle hair brush as well. It’s so convenient to have them stored together and keeps everything tidy. The end of the straighteners swivel so they move around smoothly as I straighten my hair, and the light at the end shows that they are on. My hair feels so smooth and looks very sleek. They don’t seem to ever catch or tear my hair.

Brilliant straightener

I needed to upgrade as my Platinum GHD's went bust. They just didn't work any longer. A red flashing light and noises sounded whenever I put it on. Shame as they only lasted a few years whereas my original GHD's lasted over 10 years. Hopefully these new Chronos will be as good as my first set of GHD's. They are beautiful and work perfectly. I am glad I went for the Chronos.

Best straightener/curler yet

Verified Purchase
Bought this a month ago, on 25% off , so cleared away my old straighteners and boy I am glad I did . Technology moved on so much . Plates glide through hair and it’s so much better to straighten and curl . I have extensions and fine hair , but my curls stay in all day and loads of compliments . The tool itself is white and very attractive on my dressing table . It’s solid and easy to hold and use , no burner fingers when you twist and hold the ends to glide down for that curl 👌 .. get one !

Love GHD’s - Chronos worth the money?

Verified Purchase
I’d had my old slim GHD straighteners for years and years but it was time to replace them. I opted for the chronos 26mm as an upgrade. I love the dusted pink heart design and the curved ends. I use them a lot for curls and waves and I highly rate all GHD products for hair styling. However I’m not yet 100% convinced they are significantly better than my original ghd’s given the price differential. Time will tell!

Another great product from ghd

I absolutely love the ghd chronos. Firstly, the set makes for a really impressive gift. As expected from ghd the box, carry case and included brush feel really high quality and make it feel really special. The plates glide effortlessly through my hair without pulling or snagging, and they heat up in no time at all. One of my favourite features is the automatic switch off. It gives me peace of mind when rushing out the door in the morning! They’re also fantastic for curling my hair. I can create really defined curls with them that seem to last longer than with previous ghd models. I’ve also noticed a real difference in how shiny my hair looks when I use them. They are, of course, an investment but in my opinion are worth it for a versatile product which can do it all!
