Perfect for a silky smooth look!

I used this hair straighter to try something new since I already have the slimmer version. I always do my hair when I go to work and the one day I used this one, I received compliments. Apparently, you could tell the quality of the hair straighter on my hair!

I didn't know I needed this!

This flat iron is everything for me! I have the 1 inch Chronos and love it, but the 2 inch is so so good! I have long, thick, coarse hair and this flat iron straightens it like no other. It leaves my hair super shiny and silky. If you have a lot of hair, you need this! It has the same great features the 1 inch styler has, motion responsive, no excessive heat damage, and sleep mode. It's lightweight and is comfortable to hold/use. The plates glide smotthly over the hair without catching and breaking the hair. Just when I thought GHD couldn't make a flat iron any better, they did it again! 👍👍👍

Speed, Shine, and Staying Power | Game Changer!

The new Chronos Max Straighteners are an absolute must-have! Building on the incredible technology of the original Chronos straighteners, the wide plates make styling my hair faster and easier than ever before—especially on those rushed mornings when every second counts. The speed is truly unmatched. Whether I’m straightening or creating soft waves, I can style my hair in half the time it used to take, thanks to the wide plates that cover more hair with each pass. It’s a lifesaver for anyone with thick or long hair! The results are stunning. My hair feels noticeably shinier, stronger, and healthier after using these straighteners. The advanced technology not only smooths and styles effortlessly but also locks in shine, leaving my hair looking sleek and polished. Even on humid or windy days, the results hold their own, standing strong against the elements without frizz or flyaways. If you loved the original Chronos straighteners, the Chronos Max will take your styling game to the next level. The combination of speed, shine, and long-lasting results has made these my go-to tool. Highly recommend for anyone who wants professional-looking hair in record time!

A Game-Changer for Fast,Sleek,Frizz-Free Styling!

I recently added the GHD Chronos Flat Iron to my styling routine, and it has completely transformed the way I do my hair. This tool is a game-changer! It heats up lightning-fast, making it perfect for my hectic mornings when I’m rushing to get ready. The results are stunning—my hair looks sleek, shiny, and frizz-free, with curls and waves that hold their shape all day. I’ve tried other flat irons before, but none compare to the Chronos. It’s incredibly efficient and delivers salon-quality results every time. One of the things I love most about GHD is how reliable their products are. You can always tell the difference between a GHD tool and others on the market. The Chronos is no exception. Its ultra-ergonomic design makes it easy to switch between straight styles, curls, and waves with just a simple tilt of the wrist. If you’re looking for a high-quality, fast-heating styling tool that delivers long-lasting, high-definition results, the GHD Chronos Flat Iron is worth every penny. It’s a great investment for anyone who wants to achieve professional-looking hair at home. Highly recommend!

Amazing, 100% can not fault. Highly recommend

Could not fault this straightener. Is even better than my platinum straightener and hair stayed straight for more than 24hrs. Easy and straightforward to use as always. Great for creating a variety of styles
