ghd Air Review
The ghd Air is marketed by ghd as a professional hairdryer, combining a powerful motor with advanced ionic technology which is designed to reduce frizz and fly-aways, leaving your hair ready for styling. Among the main benefits and selling points, buyers will note that the ghd Air provides a multitude of different settings with variable power and temperature controls, letting you embrace a different approach to different sections of the hair as required.
Best of all, at least for some buyers, the ghd Air boasts an ergonomic handle which makes it easy for both right and left-handed users to navigate and use with ease.
With all that in mind, how does the ghd Air compare with other similar products on the market, and what are the selling points that make this one of the most popular hair dryers that we sell here at Boilerhouse? Let’s take a closer look at the product and how users rate it.
The main features of the ghd Air
As a hairdryer, the design and build of the ghd Air is as you would expect – boasting a comfortable handle with integrated buttons to adjust the different settings. The trumpet at the front has a removable nozzle for targeted as well as broader rough drying, while the filter at the back of the hairdryer ensures a high pressure air flow to efficient drying.
As has become the norm for many professional level hairdryers, this model offers a cool shot button which delivers a blast of cold air to provide that refined look at the end of drying, as well as a range of different temperatures which can be accessed as required via the buttons on the handle.
The ionic technology which is integrated into the build of the hairdryer means that users can achieve frizz-free styling even on hair wash day, while the 2,100W motor and 3m long cable both enhance the usability of this as a professional, practical, at-home styling tool.
That’s the main features covered, but what about the user experience?
How easy is the ghd Air to use?
With a classic design which continues to be the industry standard years after its first launch, the ghd Air is easy to use in that all of the tools and integrated features are clear and accessible. From the buttons for temperature and power control mounted into the handle, to the long power cable which allows the user to move around between mirrors during styling, this hairdryer is sturdy in design and as such is the kind of tool which feels professional and quality.
While not exactly being the most lightweight tool on the market, the ghd Air packs a ton of technology into its structure which ensures a salon-ready finish for users – and it doesn’t take much practice to get there. What this means is that, conversely to many of the more modern and innovative tools on the haircare market which take time, practice, and experience to master, the ghd Air delivers excellent results quickly and with very little time investment.
Does the ghd Air offer good value to buyers?
It’s no secret that the ghd Air is one of the more expensive hair dryers that you could buy, but is it worth the cost and does it deliver value?
In this case, the high price of the ghd Air brings with it the kind of professional weight and quality which ensures that your hairdryer will withstand the test of time. In addition, the combination of the high power and the ionic technology means that hair can be dried more quickly than with a standard cheaper model of hairdryer – with the added benefit of reducing frizz, which in turn makes hair much easier to style straight after drying.
The verdict
As experts in the hair care sector, and with access to some of the best tools and hairdryers on the market, the ghd Air remains one of our favourites for a few different reasons.
The first is the weight of the model, which denotes the quality and means that this hairdryer is a long term investment into great, style-ready hair on wash day.
The second is the design and elegance of the hairdryer which manages to combine a range of different features without the tool appearing bulky or clumsy.
Finally, the range of temperature and power controls, in addition to the cool shot button, mean that drying all different hair types is easy and can be done with a single tool – making this the perfect addition to an at-home hair kit or a professional salon like ours.
