FAQs

What is the optimum styling temperature of the GHD Original Styler?

The GHD Original Styler is engineered to maintain an optimum styling temperature of 185°C. This temperature is scientifically proven to deliver effective styling results across all hair types without causing unnecessary extreme heat damage.

Can I use the GHD Original Styler on wet hair?

No, for the best results and to prevent potential hair damage, the GHD Original Styler should only be used on completely dry hair. Using it on wet hair can create steam, lead to ineffective styling, and potentially harm your hair.

Does this straightener have adjustable temperature settings?

The GHD Original Styler operates at a single, fixed optimum styling temperature of 185°C. It does not feature adjustable temperature settings, as GHD research indicates this temperature is ideal for styling all hair types effectively and safely.

Is the GHD Original Styler suitable for travel?

Yes, the GHD Original Styler features universal voltage, making it perfect for international travel. You can use it safely in any country, though you may need a simple plug adapter for the local power outlets.

How do I create curls or waves with this styler?

Thanks to its rounded barrel design and floating plates, the GHD Original Styler is versatile. To create curls, clamp a section of hair, rotate the styler 180 degrees, and glide it smoothly through to the ends. For looser waves, use a similar technique but rotate the styler less or alternate the direction as you pull it through the hair.

What does 'automatic sleep mode' mean?

Automatic sleep mode is a safety feature that automatically switches off your GHD Original Styler after 30 minutes of inactivity. This helps prevent accidents, conserves energy, and gives you peace of mind if you forget to turn it off.

How should I clean my GHD Original Styler?

To clean your styler, ensure it is turned off, unplugged, and cool. Gently wipe the ceramic plates and the exterior body with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the device in water. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance and prolong product life.

Troubleshooting

The styler won't turn on or heat up.

Ensure the styler is properly plugged into a functional power outlet. Check the power cord for any visible damage or kinks. Try a different outlet to rule out an electrical issue with the socket. If the issue persists, contact GHD customer support.

My hair feels like it's snagging or pulling during styling.

Make sure your hair is completely dry and thoroughly detangled before styling. Use smaller, manageable sections of hair to ensure smooth gliding. Check the ceramic plates for any product residue or debris that might be causing friction, and clean them gently with a damp cloth if necessary.

The styler automatically switches off during use.

This is likely the automatic sleep mode activating after 30 minutes of inactivity, which is a safety feature. If it occurs while you are actively styling, ensure you are not pausing for extended periods. Try unplugging and re-plugging the device to reset it. If it shuts off very quickly, contact GHD customer support.

My hair doesn't look as smooth or shiny as expected.

Ensure your hair is clean and free of excessive product buildup before styling. Always use a heat protectant spray. Make sure you are taking small, even sections of hair and gliding the styler through at a consistent, slow speed. Using too large sections or rushing the process can result in less-than-optimal shine and smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack: Remove the styler from its packaging and remove any protective films or covers.
  2. Plug In: Insert the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The styler will typically beep once and the indicator light will flash.
  3. Heat Up: Allow the styler approximately 30-60 seconds to reach its optimum styling temperature of 185°C. An audible beep or steady light will signal it's ready for use.
  4. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is completely dry and detangled before styling. Section your hair into manageable portions for easier styling.

Compatibility

  • Hair Types: The GHD Original Styler is designed to be effective on all hair types, from fine and delicate to thick and coarse.
  • Voltage: Featuring universal voltage (110V-240V), this styler is compatible with power outlets worldwide. When traveling internationally, you may only need a simple plug adapter for the specific country's outlet type; a voltage converter is not necessary.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Cool Down: Always allow your styler to cool down completely before cleaning or storing.
  2. Unplug: Ensure the styler is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
  3. Clean Plates: Gently wipe the ceramic plates and the styler's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or plates.
  4. Avoid Water: Never submerge the styler in water or allow water to enter the internal components.
  5. Storage: Store the styler in a cool, dry place. Using a heat-resistant mat or protective plate guard (if supplied) can help protect the plates and other surfaces.
  6. Cord Care: Avoid wrapping the power cord tightly around the styler, as this can cause damage over time. Periodically check the cord for any signs of fraying or wear.
