The ghd Platinum+ is a 1-inch professional-performance flat iron with precision-milled, floating ceramic plates finished in a high-gloss coating, built primarily for straightening but shaped to also curl and wave hair thanks to its rounded plate edges.
Rather than a dial of adjustable temperatures, the Platinum+ heats to a single preset styling temperature of 365°F in about 20 seconds and holds it there. ghd's ultra-zone predictive technology uses a sensor across each plate to read hair thickness and styling speed roughly 250 times per second, adjusting power in real time so the plates maintain consistent heat from root to tip instead of cooling over denser sections. A wishbone hinge keeps the two floating plates aligned under pressure for more even contact through each pass.
Because the plates are rounded rather than sharply flat-edged, the same tool can be rotated through hair to build curls or waves in addition to straight styles, without switching to a separate curling iron.
- 1" precision-milled floating ceramic plates
- Fixed 365°F styling temperature, ready in ~20 seconds
- Ultra-zone predictive heat technology with dual plate sensors
- Wishbone hinge for plate alignment
- Rounded plate edge for curls and waves
- 9 ft professional swivel cord, universal dual voltage
- Automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes idle
It ships with a heat-resistant protective plate guard for safe storage while still warm, and the universal voltage plus long cord suit both salon stations and travel. Because the temperature is fixed rather than adjustable, stylists needing a specific lower setting for very fine or heat-sensitive hair, or a higher setting for very coarse or resistant textures, won't have manual control here — the tool relies on its sensor system to compensate instead.
