These tools act as a quick and easy solution to styling, and can add smoothness and shine to coarse or frizzy hair in a matter of minutes. The ergonomic, dual-bristle design encourages smoothing close to the root, effortless detangling, enhanced control and a more polished finish overall.

Following suit with the rest of ghd's lineup of hair tools, these hot brushes maintain the optimum styling temperature of 185 °C, which allows for high-performance results without subjecting your strands to extreme heat damage.

Simply pass through dry hair, as you would with a regular hair brush, before enjoying the salon-worthy results it creates. As for the latter, you'll be treated to smooth, voluminous, frizz-free tresses that are completed with a glossy shine.
