A hair straightener hates to see me coming. With thick, fine, curly and bleach-damaged hair, I’ve ruled out straightening my hair for well over a year. Enter the GHD Sculpt: an AI-powered styler that claims to adapt its temperature to the heat of your hair, not the plates.
It sounds a lot like the Goldilocks of straighteners: not too strong, not too weak, just right. I was cautiously optimistic the Sculpt might be able to take this frizzy mane and turn it into something swishable, and after a few weeks of use, I can report this straightener is in a league of its own. Which is why I almost feel bad recommending it: it’s $449 / £369.
