It’s been a quarter century since Ghd first landed on dressing tables with its now-iconic straighteners, and in that time the brand has built a near cult-like for its hair tools. From the original tongs to newer launches like the wave and chronos max, each release still manages to generate the same level of anticipation, despite having a line-up that now spans more than 25 styling tools.
The latest additions are two updated versions of its cult glide hot brushes: the glide+ (£189, Ghdhair.com) and the glide+ max (£189, Ghdhair.com), both designed to smooth, de-frizz and add noticeable shine in a single pass. On paper, they promise to produce glossy, ‘just-left-the-salon’ hair after minutes of effortless styling. But, of course, that’s an ambitious claim.
