Product Information

Achieve gorgeously sleek, smooth and glossy hair with unprecedented softness for up to 48h****. With exclusive Shine Shot™ mode for use on dry hair only, duet style transforms into a ghd styler operating at the optimal 185°C styling temperature with no air - delivering instant frizz-free results**** with 2x more shine*****. Unique aerodynamics deliver an ultra-powerful yet efficient performance, minimising energy waste. A bespoke acoustic system lowers sound levels while drying for a more pleasant styling experience. But the attention to detail really does pay off. My hair came out of the styler super smooth and super straight. I’d say it took a similar amount of time to style my hair with the Duet Style compared to my usual hairdryer and straighteners tag team, but there is something very satisfying about knowing you’ve completely finished one section before moving on to the next. I didn’t need to use the shine shot, and my hair stayed shiny and frizz-free until my next shampoo. What’s not so good about the GHD Duet Style? Bespoke acoustic system designed to lower sound levels for a more pleasant and refined styling experience. Once your hair is totally dry, you can also use the Duet Style as a normal straightener by putting it into Shine Shot mode. This turns off the motor and increases the heat in the styling plates to GHD's standard 185°C to get that next-level shine and sleekness. Who is the GHD Duet Style best for? Achieve gorgeously sleek, smooth and glossy hair with unprecedented softness for up to 48h***.

A bespoke acoustic system lowers sound levels*** while drying for a more pleasant styling experience.

If you have what I would call easy hair (can get caught in the rain without fear of frizz and leave the house without heat styling) then the ghd Duet Style isn’t going to set your heart on fire. But, if like me, you blow dry and straighten your hair every single time you wash it, then it's really worth it. no thermal hair damage detected after 100 cycles of 4 passes in wet to style mode vs naturally dried hair GHD hair tools, if you haven’t used them before, are the gold standard. The hair dryer, the straighteners and the curling wands, have transformed the lives of many a curly-haired woman, meaning they can get salon-worthy smoothness from their bedroom.

Slide the power button upwards to turn ON your Duet Style. After a few seconds you will hear the fan ramp up as it heats up to the optimal low styling temperature for wet hair. Once the light stops flashing and the product beeps, it is ready to use. The best bit? My hair didn't smell like it been set on fire (those loyal to their hair straighteners will know exactly what I'm talking about) and I could even smell faint notes of the shampoo I'd used. Further proof that this really might not be detrimentally damaging to hair health. The bigger plates just aren't cut out for curling. I already knew this from trying the GHD Max, mind you. When I first heard about the Duet Style, I was hoping it might help me achieve a bouncy blow-out sort of look. I assumed that by manipulating the angles at which you glide the styler through the lengths, you'd be able to get some waves and curls as it dried. And while it does create some movement, as with the GHD Max, the wider and squarer nature of the plates leaves unwanted lines in the hair. The final verdict

Air-fusion™ technology combines the best of ghd's innovative drying and heated plate technologies to allow for simultaneous drying and styling with just one tool As a great writer does, I went in to this with zero research, with no user manual in sight. I know, I'm so good at my job. As such, I had no expectations. I turned on the slightly chunkier-than-average hair straightener-lookalike and was greeted by the sound of a small jet engine. Interesting.Considering most hair straighteners range from between 190°C-210°C, and this device is set at 150°C (with the plates themselves coming in at 120°C), I was surprised to find I didn't have to re-style my hair at any point in between my next wash day. It really did live up to its frizz-free claims. On paper, my ghd Duet Style review was a success, but there was a moment post-styling where I looked at my rod-straight hair and wondered if ghd is 10 years too late with this innovation. Even straight-hair coveters like me have graduated to the idea of a soft wave instead of poker straight hair. ghd doesn’t mention waving or curling hair with this product, but I thought I’d give it a go. Using the shine shot, I was able to add a subtle wave to my hair, which made my finished style feel softer and more modern. The plates are wide, so this wouldn’t be possible on short hairstyles, just shoulder-length to long hairstyles and it takes a bit of practice to get the technique right (even if you already know how to curl hair with a straightener) ghd scientists have achieved the impossible, blending the best of our drying and heat technologies to simplify your styling routine for beautifully sleek***, faster results with just one tool. Ground-breaking Air-fusion™ technology channels an ultra-concentrated airflow through a bespoke drying chamber, expertly designed to work in combination with 4 smart low temperature styling plates to efficiently dry and straighten hair. Infinity sensors predict your hair's needs to maintain an optimal low styling temperature from root to tip, for best-in-class performance that respects your hair's natural moisture**** with no damage**, sizzling or burning smell.

Take each section of your hair and hold the Duet Style at the root for three seconds to ensure it's properly dry. Then glide the tool through the lengths around four times, just like you would a straightener. Work your way through each section until the hair is totally dry—and you're done. Straightening and drying in one.I appreciated how the device wasn't too noisy (in comparison to a regular hair dryer), however, I found that the plates were a bit too large to allow for precision straightening near the root area. The shine shot did give me the finish that I was looking for and my hair felt super silky afterwards, however, considering the amount of time that it took me to achieve all this, I'm not sure if it's the type of hair tool that I would reach for on an everyday basis, especially when I'm in a rush. Advanced floating plates equipped with smart infinity sensors and finished with an ultra-gloss coating for smooth, snag-free styling Once all your hair is completely dried, for an optional boost of shine, activate Shine Shot™ by pressing down the Shine Shot™ button for 4 seconds until you hear a beep (Shine Shot™ should only be used on dry hair.) The fan will stop and the plate temperature will increase to the optimal ghd styling temperature of 365°F. Once the product beeps and the lights stop flashing, Shine Shot™ is ready. Your Duet Style can now be used as a regular flat iron. Introducing the revolutionary ghd duet style - the first 2-in-1 hot air styler* that dries and styles hair at the same time with 45% less energy consumption*** and no heat damage**. ghd claims that their unique 'Air-fusion' tech (sounds science-y, right?) allows for ultra concentrated airflow to effectively dry and straighten hair at a lower temperature. Thus, avoiding stripping the hair of its natural moisture and minimising damage.
