When it comes to hair, no one does it better like the pros at GHD. Their iconic styling tools have long been loved for their versatility, smart technology and seemingly infinite lifespans. Trust me, I speak from experience. My beloved GHD Original IV styler has been part of my haircare routine for 15 years and has never failed me. Whether I want poker-straight strands, beach waves, or tight curls, I don’t know where I would be without it.
But it’s not just hair straighteners (we’ve compared every GHD hair straightener here), curling wands and hot air brushes that GHD has perfected. It’s hair dryers, too. GHD hair dryers are the speediest way to style hair and give you that salon-quality finish and big, bouncy voluminous styles that are typically only achieved by your fave hairdresser.
Like with any GHD tool, there’s not just one option. Instead, there are *four* different GHD hair dryers to shop on site that each cater to different hair types and budgets. If you’re unsure which one you need, we’ve got you covered with our guide to each GHD hair dryer, what they do and why they’ll be a game-changer in your routine.
Which is the best GHD hairdryer?
To put it shortly, it depends on your hair. If you want a great all-rounder, the GHD air is your best bet. Its powerful motor and air filter means you’ll be able to dry your hair faster than ever, and its ionic technology will keep flyaways at bay for that smooth, sleek look we love getting at the salon. The GHD helios, however, while more expensive, is an essential addition to your tool kit if you’ve got the at-home blow-dry mastered. Lighter and faster-drying than the rest of GHD’s hairdryers, it will give 30% more shine to hair and comes with a bespoke nozzle for a smooth finish.
Is it worth buying a GHD hairdryer?
Absolutely. We know first-hand they’ll last you years, and if you’re using them regularly will pay themselves off in no time. Well made, lightweight, and full of hair-smoothing benefits, they’re a must-have. Whether you want more manageable tresses, an impressive volume boost or just need a tool that will take minutes to dry a wet head of hair before you head out the door, they do it all.
Is the Dyson hairdryer better than GHD?
Since the launch of the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer, it has changed the hair game, but costing £299, it’s certainly not cheap. If you’ve got a bigger budget to splash out, there’s a lot to love; it comes with varying magnetic styling attachments including a concentrator, diffuser, and wide-tooth comb. It has beaten to the top spot by GHD though, which – while isn’t the cheapest hairdryer on the market – is the best value for money. GHD hairdryers last for years, leave hair healthier than ever and make quick work of all hair types.
