Researched, not hands-on tested. We did not use this styler. This guide reads ghd’s US product page, a ghd-linked professional distributor page and the Amazon US listing, linked below. We separate what ghd claims from what we could confirm. See how we review products and our editorial policy.
The ghd Platinum+ Styler is a 1-inch flat iron that ghd markets as a “smart” styler. This page is part of our hair styling guides; see also our hair dryer guides.

What ghd claims (brand claims, not our findings)
- 70% stronger hair and 2x more colour protection. ghd marks the 70% claim with a footnote saying it refers to reduced breakage and 2x more colour protection compared with a styler working at 450F. That footnote also covers the colour-protection claim. The page does not give the test method or sample size.
- 75% more shine. ghd’s footnote says this is versus naturally dried hair. The page does not give the test method.
We did not test these claims and could not find the test details. Treat them as marketing figures. The Amazon listing also shows a different shine figure in one place; the ghd page says 75%, so we cite ghd.
Features that matter
- A preset 365F target. ghd describes the temperature as preset. We could not confirm whether you can change it, so check before you buy if you need a lower or higher setting.
- 1-inch plates. A common size for straightening and for curls or waves, per general styling practice. (Author’s analysis.)
- Heat and hair health. The American Academy of Dermatology advises limiting heat styling and using lower heat. A preset temperature does not make heat styling risk-free. (Author’s analysis; AAD wording to be re-checked on publish day.)
Pros and cons (from sources)
Pros
- A recognised professional brand with a published temperature target.
- Brand pages give specific figures and footnotes, so claims can be examined.
Cons and limits
- The performance figures are ghd’s own and lack disclosed methods.
- We could not confirm voltage or weight. ghd’s US page lists a 3-year warranty on its Black version page; we did not confirm the warranty for the White version.
- We have not tested heat-up time, snagging or results on different hair types.
Who it may suit (Author’s opinion/analysis)
- Someone who wants a branded 1-inch iron with a preset temperature.
- Less suited to people who want to choose their own temperature, or who travel across voltages. Check the listing for voltage before buying.
FAQ
Is the shine figure proven? It is ghd’s claim, footnoted as tested against naturally dried hair. We could not find the method, so we do not present it as our finding.
Does it work worldwide? We could not confirm voltage on ghd’s pages. Check the specific listing before travelling.
Can I change the temperature? ghd describes a preset 365F. We could not confirm whether it is adjustable.
Does heat styling damage hair? Heat can damage hair. The AAD advises limiting heat styling and using lower heat.
General information, not medical advice. If your hair or scalp is fragile, ask a hairstylist or dermatologist.
