Our verdict

A capable cordless iron for touch-ups and travel, with quick heat up and a flight-friendly design. Short runtime per charge rules it out as the main straightener for thick hair.

Overview

Styling on the go is the job: charge the ghd over USB-C, switch it on and it heats to its set styling temperature for touch-ups away from an outlet. Dual-zone ceramic heaters warm the plates, and a heat-resistant case comes with it for packing.

Cordless touch-ups from a bag or carry-on are what this iron does well, and the short heat up suits a quick fix before going out. Battery life covers touch-ups more than a full straightening session, and the listing names only one temperature.

Who it's for

Commuters and frequent flyers who fix a fringe or ends during the day get the most from it. People who style a full head of thick hair daily will run out of charge and are better served by a corded iron.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cordless with USB-C charging
  • Fast heat up
  • Approved for carry-on luggage
  • Case included for packing
Cons
  • Short runtime per charge
  • Long recharge between sessions
  • Adjustable heat settings not mentioned

Performance notes

Runtime depends on hair thickness and how many passes each section needs, since the heaters draw on the battery the whole time. Dual-zone ceramic heaters aim to hold plate temperature as hair cools them, and the auto-off timer saves the charge when the iron is set down.
