ghd max wide hair straightener features & benefits

The ghd max wide plate hair straightener is designed with 70% larger 42mm plates¹ and dual-zone technology to smooth and style curly hair with ease. The wider plates cover more hair in each pass, making it faster to create sleek, defined looks while keeping curls healthy and shiny.
Two advanced heat sensors work across each plate to maintain the optimum 185°C styling temperature from root to tip, ensuring consistent results without extreme heat damage. The wide ceramic plates glide effortlessly, helping reduce frizz by up to 2x⁴ and adding up to 80% more shine³, perfect for transforming curly textures into long-lasting, salon-quality styles.
With contoured edges and a curved design, the max doesn’t just straighten; it also gives you the option to create soft waves and smoother finishes, tailored to your curls. Features include a 30-second heat-up time, automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes, universal voltage, and a protective plate guard. For anyone looking for the best wide plate hair straightener for curly hair, the ghd Max makes styling simple, quick and effective.

Excellent wide plates.

Verified Purchase
I bought these a couple of weeks ago as my last ghd’s no longer worked (they were very old!) I have very thick, long hair which is also curly these do the job and straighten my hair easily especially in the humidity of Sydney! I wouldn’t use any other hair straighteners!
