Frequently Asked Questions
ghd Chronos – Is it worth it?
Obviously, this really depends on the individual. I think this styler certainly delivers on its claims, and if you are in the market for a new pair of ghds, I’d say it would be wise to choose these ones over the Platinum+ version.
Are the new ghd straighteners as good as the old ones?
Anyone that has had a pair of the original ghds may have heard that later editions have never lived up to the ones from the ghd early days. I believe that with the launch of Chronos, they have really nailed the technology and performance is better than ever.
Is ghd Chronos better than Platinum+
In terms of the shine claim, Platinum+ is 75% more shine whereas the Chronos is 85% more shine. The Chronos also offers 3 times more breakage protection, and the with Platinum+ it is 2 times more breakage protection.
