![]() ![]() The plates will automatically switch off after 3 minutes of inactivity to preserve battery life. It's worth noting that this is not the most advanced GHD system out there – that accolade goes to the ultra-zone sensor technology found in the Platinium+. The styling plates feature GHD's dual-zone technology, which means the bespoke ceramic heaters can guarantee a consistent optimum styling temperature of 185✬, which GHD claim is the perfect balance between styling performance and healthy-looking results. These really are the best in the business and I'm glad to see them return here. The cordless straighteners make use of GHD's high-gloss plates, which feature a fine ceramic coating for smooth, snag-free styling. We'll get on to how useful that is in the next section, but that fact that these are the first and only cordless GHD straighteners is something to be applauded. The main feature is the hybrid co-lithium battery technology, which provides the GHD Unplugged with a 20-minute run-time. (Image credit: GHD) GHD Unplugged hair straightener review: Features and TechnologyĪs compact and cordless is the name of the game here you shouldn't expect as many advanced features or technology as you would get with GHD's larger stylers. It's a shame to see a more traditional hinge design on the Unplugged. I've grown used to the smooth wishbone design found on the GHD Platinium+, which doesn't grab and pull stray hairs. If there's one aspect I'd like to see changed about the design is the hinge. This luxury zipped pouch allows you to finish styling your hair then instantly throw pack it in a suitcase or bag without worrying about burning anything. In the box also get a heat resistant travel case. ![]() GHD includes a USB-C-to-USB-C cable in the box and a wall plug, which, in my case, featured a UK 3-pin connection. I'm now at a point where one charger can power my phone, laptop, camera and hair straighteners – that makes packing light very easy. I love the fact that the Unplugged stylers are charged using USB-C as it means it's one less charger to take with you when travelling. It's discrete and out of the way, allowing you to comfortably use the straighteners while charging. Each bar of light represents around 20% of the charge.Īnd at the hinge end of the straighteners is the USB-C charging point. Below the power switch is a battery level indicator strip – a thin row of white LEDs which give you a visual indication of how much battery is remaining. The power switch is located on the top of the styler and is surrounded by an LED which glows a soft white when the styler is in use. GHD also sell the Unplugged in matt white, and we could see the brand offering limited edition colourways in the future. It also has similar chrome details on the hinge. I have been reviewing the black model, which has an identical, smooth, premium finish as seen on GHD's larger stylers. The plates themselves are narrow at 2cm wide, and this means they sit between the 1.27cm wide plates seen on the GHD Mini and the 2.5cm plates on the Platinum+. ![]() It also means they feel nicely balanced, as the main bulk of the weight sits in the handle. This is because the handle section of the GHD Unplugged, where the battery is housed, is actually a similar size to regular GHD stylers – with the styling plates much narrower and shorter. They measure 22cm long and weigh just 300g. That's almost half the size and weight of the Dyson Corrale, which weigh 563g.Īny doubts that the Unplugged would be fiddly and difficult to use were quickly dispelled when I got my hands on them – they feel completely natural and comfortable to hold. GHD Unplugged are the most compact hair straighteners we've ever seen – even more so than the images suggest. (Image credit: GHD) GHD Unplugged hair straightener review: Design ![]()
