ghd Helios Hair Dryer - Professional Hairdryer, Powerful Airflow, Style with Speed and Control, 30% More Shine

Product Information

Instead of straight, flat edges, the edges of the holes on the grille are concave. This helps reduce the level of noise and volume created by the Helios. It most definitely makes a noticeable difference to the volume of the GHD Helios.

The second, jade colour and forms part of GHD’s new Dreamland collection, which has been released ahead of Christmas as its holiday range. A beautiful blow dry by birth-right, harness the power of the new ghd helios™ - the latest innovation in styling control. The ghd Helios performs exceptionally well, scoring top marks on speed, power and strand-smoothing results. While other hair dryers (read our Dyson Airwrap review, for example) now come with added frills and features—the Helios doesn’t. It’s simplistic design and clever technology delivers on results without feeling too techie. The feel of the Helios is a cut above, too. The plastic shell of the GHD Air feels a little rough to the touch by comparison, and the plastic shell of the Helios feels smoother, silkier – almost like silicone. It also replaces the hard plastic hook by the cable with a soft silicone loop which is attractively branded; the GHD name imprinted on a chrome-plated button. Similar branding appears on the rose gold grille, and even the holes in the filter and the shape of the impeller inside have an industrial beauty to them.The GHD Helios was two and a half years in the making and the effort has paid off. It’s head and shoulders, excuse the pun, above the GHD Air. It almost toppled the Dyson Supersonic as our favourite hair dryer. We still switch between the two. Attachments: You get one concentrator nozzle as standard with the Helios. With the Supersonic you get a Smoothing nozzle, a Concentrator nozzle, a diffuser and a heat mat Create gorgeous waves and enhance your natural curls with a diffuser or style a straight, sleek and smooth look with a concentrated nozzle. Adjustable heat and speed settings allow you to choose the perfect setting for your hair type and specific needs. Designed for ease of use and comfort, the ghd helios™ is ergonomically balanced for a lighter styling experience. Advanced ionic technology ensures 3x more hair alignment* for visibly smoother, shinier hair, so you can say goodbye to unwanted frizz and flyaways. And for 24 hour volume hold** pair the ghd helios™ with ghd body goals - total volume foam. Looks-wise, it still holds its own and the GHD Helios is remarkably similar. Almost a copy-and-paste job in some areas, including the placement of the controls. It has the same three-metre cable, too.

If you buy the pink version of this Helios, Platinum Plus or GHD Gold, GHD will donate part of the proceeds to breast cancer charities. Each Helios in the pink collection has the Take Control Now slogan embossed onto the side. Conquer frizz and flyaways with advanced ionic technology and a bespoke contoured nozzle to ensure a concentrated, even airflow, resulting in a beautifully smooth finish with 3x more hair alignment*. Lightweight and ergonomically balanced with bespoke acoustic technology for low sound levels during use, the ghd helios™ is designed for ultimate ease of use. And for 24 hour volume hold*** pair the ghd helios™ with ghd body goals - total volume foam.The GHD hair dryer was built with physicists, engineers and styling professionals at GHD’s UK Research and Development lab in Cambridge. The brand claims it’s lighter and more powerful than its rivals and helps dry your hair faster while giving more styling control. GHD has even patented the shapes of the holes in the grille to make the dryer quieter, and it is. Noticeably so. The GHD Air wasn’t a loud dryer so we weren’t concerned going into this review, but it’s a nice improvement and brings the level of noise down to Dyson levels. The new professional hairdryer from GHD has been launched . Style and dry your hair in no time thanks to the streamlined shape and shaped nozzle. The air and heat are optimally distributed on the scalp, for maximum control during drying. Suitable for professional hairdressers and hair stylists, but also for drying hair at home, for always perfect hair. Strengths and Advanced GHD Features of This Hair Dryer GHD Air vs GHD Helios Attachments: You still only get one concentrator nozzle as standard – and need to pay separately for other attachments like a diffuser – but the nozzle has been redesigned.

Everything else, including the placement of the two-speed and dual-temperature switches, the cold shot button and the branded grille are almost an exact copy and paste from the Air. Performance On the subject of styling, the lighter weight of the Helios as it moves around the head during a blowdry is welcomed and we thought the GHD Air was well-balanced until we used the GHD Helios. Styling our hair, as we’d expect, took a little longer, but only marginally so at 2 minutes and 20 seconds.Depending on how hot the dryer gets this could cause unnecessary damage. GHD Helios technology: Why is it so good? Engineered to streamline airflow for a powerful yet precise performance, take their breath away with 30% more shine** and smoother results, 9/10 agree**. Varying power and temperature controls ensure that no matter your desired style or natural texture, you can achieve a stunning blow dry and flawless finish. And for 24 hour volume hold*** pair the ghd helios™ with ghd body goals - total volume foam. To achieve a salon-worthy finish, the ghd air® hair dryer is the perfect addition to your tool kit. This professional hair dryer has a powerful 2,100W motor for faster styling, so you have more time to conquer the world. Lightweight and ergonomically balanced, this professional hair dryer is an everyday styling essential.

That said because the nozzle is longer and thinner than on the GHD Air the shaft length is ever-so-slightly too long for our arms. This is a minor complaint. Plus, because less heat is needed to dry the hair, it is possible to place the dryer closer to your scalp so it’s less of an issue than it may first seem. It’s worth noting though. Particularly if you have long hair, your arms will start to ache. It’s up there as one of our favourites – but GHD’s rivals have been hot on its heels in recent years.The first – a pink peach colour – has been designed to raise funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
