This hairdryer makes everything from rough-drying to basic blowdrying and styling a cinch. Performance-wise, the Helios smashes it out of the park. This is thanks to the advanced acoustic technology built into the dryer to ensure low sound levels when in use. It is noticeably quieter than the Air, as well as many other hairdryers on the market (in fact, it’s at least two decibels quieter than the Air). The motor in the Ghd Helios is more powerful than its predecessor, packing a 2,200w brushless DC motor (up from 2,100w on the Air) and the holes in its back grille have been redesigned to reduce noise. Of course, when it comes to investing in a hairdryer, power and performance is everything. The hairdryer offers 3 speeds, 3 heat settings, and has a cord length of 3 metres for easy styling wherever you are. In terms of the outside functionality of the dryer, everything else - including the placement of the two-speed and dual-temperature switches, the cold shot button and the branded grille - are almost an exact copy-and-paste from the Ghd Air. Most importantly, you don’t get fatigued using this dryer, even with extended use.īut, as much as things change, they also stay the same. Even though it has a little more weight than similar hairdryers on the market, it feels very light in the hand and doesn’t feel bulky to use. While, on paper, the Helios is heavier than other dryers I’ve tested, it is noticeably more ergonomically balanced than many of its competitors. The Helios is lighter than the Ghd Air, tipping the scales at 780g compared to the 1.54kg of its predecessor.

With this new iteration of its professional hairdryer, Ghd has made a point of fixing a few of the bugbears users had with the Ghd Air, without losing what we loved most about the styling tool.īeyond its good looks, the most striking thing about the Ghd Helios is its weight. Out with the old, in with the newīut, as important as looks are, when it comes to a hairdryer, what really matters is performance. This coating gives the dryer a smooth, luxurious feel, and makes it easy to clean and care for. The different coloured versions of the Ghd Helios’ plastic shell are additionally covered in a thin coating that feels soft to the touch (almost like silicone). If aesthetics matter to you, then this pretty pastel tool knocks it out of the park. Classy and elegant, this stylish tool would take pride of place on any dressing table. As far as looks go, the pastel blue Ghd Helios I have been lucky enough to acquire is indeed a thing of beauty. The collection includes the Ghd platinum+ styler, Ghd helios professional hairdryer, Ghd gold styler, and Ghd original styler in a choice of oh-so-pretty colours. But that doesn’t mean it’s only for young ladies, the new collection is for the young at heart too! Ghd’s most creative collection yet, the Ghd iD collection is inspired by Gen Z and their powerful expression of individuality. The new limited-edition Ghd iD collection features a range of hair tools in fresh lilac, bright blue, and soft pink. I got my hands on the new-look Ghd Helios from the iD collection to see if it’s worth the splurge. The Helios is Ghd’s latest attempt at a professional hairdryer with mass appeal, but is it a game-changer for home styling? According to Ghd, its newest addition to its styling tools lineup is faster, lighter and quieter than the Ghd Air but I wanted to put it to the test. It was about time Ghd shook things up with a new release to wow both stylists and everyday consumers alike. As beloved as the Ghd Air was, amongst these fancy pants new releases, the Air was starting to show its age. There are now dozens of professional dryers available for the everyday consumer - from both traditional haircare companies and non-traditional brands, like Dyson. The brand was one of the first haircare brands to bring a salon-style, professional hairdryer to the masses with the Ghd Air, and a lot has changed since then. It’s been eight years since Ghd first entered the hairdryer game.
