Ghd Gold styler claims to have a pretty fast heat-up time of 25 seconds, this will save you time when you are in a hurry.
Ghd Gold has a dual-zone technology, instead of one heat sensor it has two sensors on each plate so that it can monitor the heat of the plates to prevent it from going beyond the optimum temperature. It heats to 185oC such that any lower temperature will compromise the quality of your hair and higher temperature will overheat your hair thus damaging it.
Gold has a barrel that is rounded at the edges this ensures that you will achieve full sculpted beautiful curls with the shortest time and with ease.
Ghd Gold has smooth, contoured floating plates that glide through your hair giving it a sleek finished look without any frizz. This avoids the instances of having very tight curls.

The good thing about Gold is that it has a universal voltage so you can style your hair at home or abroad.
