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!

So far so good!

Having had my second ghd for about 10 years (don't know how long, but a long time!) It didn't need replacing, but I researched the new model with the trade in promo. The research suggested technology has indeed advanced, and the newer models offer better head-reading/dispersal with less hair damage, more shine noted and less frizz. I have definitely noticed less frizz with two uses across the month of ownership. I have blonde (foiled) curly hair which is straightened once a week after it's washed, and I live in one of Australia's most tropical climates.

Absolutely love my new Kronos GHD‘s

Verified Purchase
I ordered GHD Sculpt but sent them back as I found they did little for my hair I wasn’t impressed. I had a word with my hairdresser and she suggested the GHD Kronos she had just used them on my hair and my hair looked amazing. So I ordered them immediately and I can say I’m not disappointed they are brilliant I absolutely love them 💯 so if you’re thinking of buying a new set of GHD tongs don’t hesitate Kronos are just brilliant 🤩
