A straightener sold with nothing published about it
ghd appears twice on this site: a straightener and a heat protection spray. It is the same brand, and they are documented in opposite ways.
The spray publishes the figure that matters. The ghd bodyguard states protection up to 230 °C (446 °F): the ceiling of the two Remington straighteners in this catalog, and so a figure you can actually set against your own tool. The other European spray here, the Redken One United, states no temperature.
The straightener publishes nothing. The ghd gold listing carries three bullets — quality and durability, long-lasting, flexible styling — and no temperature, no plate width, no heat-up time and no weight. Eleven of the twelve straighteners on this site publish at least a top temperature. Our page says “not published” rather than borrowing figures from another model in the range.
That is a fact about the listing, not the tool. The link on this page goes to Amazon, and what a buyer can check before ordering is what is on the page they land on; the manual or the maker’s site may say more.
The straightener guide places it third, behind the Remington S3500 and the BaByliss ST393E, precisely because nothing on it can be checked; what the temperature dial means explains what the others publish.
Manufacturer specifications not published on the listing
The best-known straightener in this group, and the one whose Amazon listing publishes nothing. ghd gives three bullet points — quality, durability, flexible styling — and no temperature, no plate width, no heat-up time.
Best for: Someone who already knows this range and is buying it again.
ghd states protection up to 230 °C (446 °F) — the ceiling of the two Remington straighteners here, five degrees under the BaByliss ST393E (235 °C). Suitable for damp or dry hair, described as non-sticky, and formulated to be layered with other styling products.
Best for: A straightener or curling iron whose top setting does not exceed 230 °C (446 °F).
