Okay so this is my first nice, expensive hair product purchase (absolutely hate doing my hair) and I LOVE it! I have long, thick (as every hairdresser has pointed out in my life time), super straight hair, and this dries my hair effortlessly. It gets hot enough to dry my hair but not feel like my hair is burning, and the cool shot button is super cold, not just room temperature like all the previous hair driers I have used. This is super powerful, super strong, and I love it. My hair doesn't ever look super frizzy or anything afterwards, and it still feels nice and soft even after blasting it with heat. The hairdryer itself is nice quality, not too heavy in the hands but feels sturdy, and the buttons are nice and solid so you don't actually knock anything. ... MoreOkay so this is my first nice, expensive hair product purchase (absolutely hate doing my hair) and I LOVE it!

Definitely, highly recommend to anyone who is on the fence about spending the money on an expensive hair drier - it is so definitely worth it.

14 years and still going strong

This blow dryer is absolutely fantastic and would be comparable to the Dyson supersonic. it has amazing output and a cooling button when pushed that lasts how ever long you desire. I am a bleach blonde and my hair has never looked healthier. I have tried my sister's Dyson and in all reality there isn't a difference in outcome. I am a GHD girl for life. yes it has a pricey price tag but is alot less then the Dyson ànd has outlived many Dyson's in comparison. I also own the 2" GHD straightner which was bought at the same time as the blow dryer and is still in MINT condition. ( my hair is down the middle of my back) drying time is less then 20 mins and three different heat settings. I could go on and on but I will stop now. go GHD you won't be disappointed and will get ... MoreThis blow dryer is absolutely fantastic and would be comparable to the Dyson supersonic. it has amazing output and a cooling button when pushed that lasts how ever long you desire.

( a little on heavy side for those with health concerns on weight ) mine came with the diffuser and concentrate nozzle.

DOES NOT LAST

Buyer beware!! This is wonderful hair dryer….for its very short life. I have had mine for about 5 years now and it suddenly started smelling like burning/melting metal and plastic. I immediately unplugged it and it made my house smell like burning metal and plastic for hours. I’ve had much cheaper hair dryers for much longer than this and they never stopped working or became a fire hazard. I had purchased this one as a high-end upgrade. And just in case you were wondering about ghd customer service…best they can do after your warranty expires is give you a 10% discount towards a new product. All of that being said, it’s a shame because I really loved this hair dryer and the diffuser attachment (additional purchase) for my curly hair. :(

Dries super fast!

I bought this hair dryer with a 25% percent off promotion for cyber Monday. I searched reviews for a dryer that works best for low porosity hair that takes forever to dry. This hair dryer is ionic and the location of the motor supposedly helps hair dry faster. My hair is super curly and frizzy, and must be COMPLETELY dry (not even a little damp) or otherwise it will curl right up after drying. This hair dryer has literally cut down my drying time by a third - and on days with low humidity, it dries in almost half the time. The only thing that has every reduced my drying time before was a keratin treatment. I was sure if i believed the whole ionic thing, but I have used other professional grade dryers in the past and this one worked best for me. I would definitely ... MoreI bought this hair dryer with a 25% percent off promotion for cyber Monday. I searched reviews for a dryer that works best for low porosity hair that takes forever to dry.

Great diffuser!

I have long, wavy/curly hair and have always diffused it. My previous dryer cost about £30 and lasted years, but eventually burnt out so I decided to treat myself to a new, more expensive one. I tried (and returned) a few different hairdryers with diffusers in the mid-range price bracket. It was a frustrating search! Every one of them had something 'not right' -as if the designers have no idea how wavy/curly hair is meant to be dried! Either the diffuser was too small, the dryer was too powerful, too noisy, too awkward/heavy to hold, too short a cable, too hot...so I relented and splashed out on the GHD one as a last try! I'm really impressed so far. The diffuser is the perfect shape and size and holds the hair nicely without it being too scrunched into the dish. ... MoreI have long, wavy/curly hair and have always diffused it.

I'm really impressed so far. The diffuser is the perfect shape and size and holds the hair nicely without it being too scrunched into the dish. The settings are just right and easy to use, the air doesn't 'blast' out so my waves are not getting too blown out of the diffuser (something I found with quite a few others). It's not ridiculously noisy, not too heavy, it's nice to hold and the cool setting is great. My hair is shinier and the waves are more defined when I use this dryer. Well done GHD for actually getting what a diffuser is meant to do! I feel like Goldielocks after trying so many different dryers! This one is just right!

The best hairdryer ever!

It lives up to its claims “salon finish 2x faster” 100% without doubt. This hairdryer is amazing ive brought so many hairdryers over the years! The ghd air hairdryer is amazing. I wish I had brought this years ago my hair feels so soft and doesn’t get frizzy and the power of the motor helps it to align better my style. The quality of the filter is amazing lots of cheaper hairdryers I’ve had the filter is mesh and sharp or it’s hard to clean. This is really such a great hairdryer! Ghd 4 life!

Very Good

I just bought the GHD Air 1600 as a backup to my other identical hairdryer. I have had the current hairdryer for several years and I've recently noticed a subtle change in the air output, which starts slower than usual but then kicks in and performs as usual. It has a bit of weight to it, is solid, and has been a consistently good hairdryer for me. I have long hair that can take a lot of time to dry, but this dryer gets the job done without frying my hair. The one area it could improve would be that the back vent piece is not removeable so it requires a vacuum hose to clear out any dust that accumulates...which I've only ever needed to do once in all of this time and it was minimal....but it's worth noting.

What a difference!

Let’s face it, the pandemic has not been good for the look. I’ve got naturally wavy/frizzy, fine hair. It’s the kind that likes to look flat and greasy at the root and frizzy through the ends unless it’s tamed. For 15 years I’d been investing in salon products, which never seemed to make that much of a difference, then I finally changed my hairdryer from the high street or drug store type variety to a GHD. Well, what a difference! Now, it’s suddenly beaten into submission within 10 minutes and smooth as silk WITH volume. If only I had realised what a difference a hair dryer could make, I could have saved an absolute fortune on products that did absolutely nothing for my do. I’m finally able to wear my hair down for work, having washed and dried it the night before. ... MoreLet’s face it, the pandemic has not been good for the look.

Worth every penny!

I always appreciated that not all hairdryers are good and I have tried many!! Hotel hairdryers are usually too weak and without direction and often in a very short lead! . Others can be poor at temperature control or too heavy. I have always bought 'salon quality' and always had two as I could not live without my hairdryer if it broke down. I was however sceptical that spending more money would equate with significant improvement on what I thought was already great.... I was wrong. My new GHD hairdryer is amazing. It dries quickly, gives root lift that lasts with perfect direction and temperature controlled airflow. Combined with the GHD mousse it makes my hair look naturally styled, shiny and smell lovely. There is a long lead and it's not too heavy. If I hadn't ... MoreI always appreciated that not all hairdryers are good and I have tried many!!
