GHD Chronos Curve – The New Era of Definition Styling
Clients want glossy, lasting results in less time. The GHD Chronos range helps salons & stylists deliver consistent, high-shine finishes at an optimal 185°C with pro-reliable speed, whether you are smoothing, waving or setting curls. It is also a strong home-styling and gifting option in the run-up to Black Friday and Christmas.
What is the ghd Chronos range?
Chronos is ghd’s latest generation of styling tools that maintain an optimal 185°C and use advanced sensors to keep heat consistent as you move. The brand positions Chronos as its fastest route to smooth, high-definition results with claims such as up to 85% more shine, 2x less frizz, and styles that can last up to 24 hours, based on internal testing. As always, results vary by hair type and prep.
Key benefits at a glance
- Predictable, consistent heat for even results service after service.
- Faster, one-stroke styling potential compared with older models.
- Choice of straightener, wands and tongs to match finish goals.
Lets take a look at the NEW Curve range just landed online and in stores.

Chronos Curve Grand Tong
A classic lever tong for polished, voluminous curls. Suits medium to longer lengths.
Chronos Curve Classic Tong
A medium barrel for defined curls and waves with control on short to long hair.


Chronos Curve Conical Wand
A tapered wand for natural, textured, beachy waves with varied curl size through the mid-lengths and ends.
Chronos Curve Max Wand
A large barrel for loose, lived-in waves, especially on medium to long hair. Good for volume and movement without tight curl definition.

Chronos vs previous GHD favourites
If you are upgrading from Platinum+ or Gold, the differences you will notice most are heat consistency during movement, glide, and how quickly sections reach the desired finish. Media reviews broadly support smoother, faster styling versus older models, though opinions vary and the investment price is noted. TechRadar, for example, praised glide and finish but flagged that results depend on hair type and technique. Choose based on your client base and finish needs rather than claims alone.
How to choose the right Chronos tool
By hair type
- Fine to medium: Chronos Straightener for sleek smoothing and soft bends. Classic Tong if you want defined, uniform curls.
- Thick, long or high density: Max Wand for fast, loose waves and volume. Grand Tong for big, polished curls.
- Textured patterns: Conical Wand for natural, varied waves. For very tight patterns, consider prep, tension, and smaller sections for best control.
By finish
- Glass-sleek: Straightener with controlled tension and small sections.
- Glossy waves: Max Wand for large, flowing waves.
- Defined curls: Classic Tong for consistency; Grand Tong for bigger, bouncier polish.
- Beachy texture: Conical Wand with alternating wrap direction.
Pro tips: faster, shinier results with Chronos
- Prep and protect: Work with fully dry hair. Apply a lightweight heat protector root to tip, comb through for even coverage. Try the GHD Bodyguard Heat Protector Spray
- Section smart: Use consistent, manageable sections. For sleek work, keep tension and align plates or barrel parallel to the section.
- Timing on wands/tongs: Wrap cleanly and hold briefly. Release, cool in the hand or clip to set the shape before brushing out.
- Finish and refine: Allow curls to cool, then brush with a soft paddle or dressing brush for polish. Add a light serum such as the Dramatic Ending Smooth & Finish to mid-lengths and ends to reduce static.
- Troubleshooting: If you see banding or fish-hooks, reduce section size, keep wrists aligned, and slow the first pass.
