Smooth styling

The GHD Helios hair dryer was recently debuted in a limited-edition sun-kissed desert makeover, finished with metallic rose gold accents.

It promises ultra-powerful drying and ultimate styling results with 30% more hair shine, and uses unique Aeroprecis technology and a bespoke contoured nozzle that puts the power of a salon-blow dry in your hands.

The device aims at giving the user ultimate styling control and a powerful 120 km/h airflow for drastically faster styling, while advanced ionic technology gives a professional-quality, frizz-free finish.

A contoured nozzle focuses the powerful airflow to deliver better hair alignment and smoother results, and various settings enable you to personalise your blow drying experience.
