Overview
- Launched Feb. 1 at £299 in the UK and A$595 in Australia, the model is billed as ghd’s fastest dryer to date and a direct rival to Dyson’s Supersonic.
- Hands-on reviews report drying long or fine hair in roughly five to six minutes, with a thick‑hair test around 16 minutes and styling times comparable to Dyson’s latest model.
- The halo system surrounds a hot core stream with a cooler ring to reduce scalp heat, and ghd cites clinical testing showing no thermal damage after repeated passes at maximum settings.
- Features include four heat levels, four speed settings, a cool shot, and a memory/lock function; only the magnetic concentrator ships in the box, with diffuser, comb and additional nozzles sold separately.
- Reported specs note a 118,000 RPM motor, peak airflow up to 176 km/h, a weight around 602 g, and a barrel and attachments that stay cool to the touch.
