Sophie Habboo’s BAFTA Waves Tied to ghd’s New £299 Speed Ionic Hair Dryer

Coverage leans on an Instagram glimpse plus manufacturer claims, with only one journalist offering a brief hands-on test.

Overview

  • Habboo served as a BAFTA red-carpet host alongside Jamie Laing, wearing glossy, side-swept ‘old Hollywood’ waves.
  • A behind-the-scenes Instagram Story showed stylist Willis Galbraith using ghd’s Speed Ionic Hair Dryer during her prep.
  • The newly launched tool is priced at £299 and is marketed to blend hot and cool airflow for fast drying and frizz control.
  • ghd cites clinical testing that found no hair damage at maximum speed and power, though this is a manufacturer claim reported without wider independent verification.
  • Mirror reviewer Zoe Cripps reported a six-minute dry time and a settings memory feature, later noting the value may depend on hair type and routine.
