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.

185°C, ghd's optimum styling temperature. ghd Original is ready in 30 seconds, and single-zone™ ceramic technology holds both plates at 185°C while you style. Find out why ghd styles at 185°C.
Why is my ghd Original flashing red and beeping?
Your styler is in sleep mode. After 30 minutes without use, ghd Original switches off, the light flashes and it beeps every 20 seconds. Turn it off and back on to keep styling. If it flashes or beeps while you're using it, contact our customer care team.
