ghd has released a hairdryer – the ghd Air.
This launch has made hair headlines around the world. But first, check out this amazing hair from the ghd team at London Fashion Week for Dion Lee.
Led by Sophie Roberts, they created this amazing fringe weave for Dion Lee’s debut presentation. I secretly love helmet hair, and this extreme fringe forms a perfect hair cap. I recommend trying this at home if you have at least four sets of hands to help you.
Something you can try at home now is the ghd Air. This isn’t just a product release, it’s a hair event almost 10 years in he making. I was invited to the ghd Air launch and I was impressed by their passion and research into creating an original professional hairdryer, not just a re-badged product. It’s probably the most expensive dryer on the market at $199, but it looks and feels like quality.
It comes beautifully packaged, like a gift for your hair. It has the prettiest grill I’ve ever seen on air intake. However I believe it’s what’s inside that counts and I have to say I’m very impressed.
The Air’s complete hairdryer redesign means the engine has been moved to a more central position which allows for better balance in your hand. This shift also creates greater ionic airflow and results in smoother hair. If you’re using a cheap hairdryer your hair won’t believe the improvement, but if you’re smart and already have a Parlux you’ll know what I’m talking about. The ghd Air is hotter and faster than the Parlux and the nozzles are the perfect fit for ghd brushes so you don’t miss a hair. The controls are also at the back of the handle so it’s ambidextrous. It’s designed for both salon professionals and consumers and is built to last.
I’m reserving my judgement as to whether this trumps my beloved Parlux for now, but the Air is an amazing hairdryer. I’m waiting for ghd to release an equally beautifully designed diffuser to fit the Air, as it sadly won’t take a universal diffuser. If you want to create curls you can still use a sock diffuser.
Are you a fan of professional hairdryers? And am I the only one with a secret love of helmet hair?

I don’t know if I could cope with hotter and faster than my Parlux! Would be interesting to see in person, I expect salons will start using it pretty quickly.
I’ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on the ghd Air. I only have a cheap hair dryer and have been thinking of upgrading. ghd products always look so stylish! Great post
Thank you!

It looks beautiful and sounds good too. I am in the market for a new hairdryer and was originally going to get the Parlux but maybe I should consider the GHD. Great review

Sock diffuser !? Please explain !
It’s literally a sock for your hairdryer. It’s heat resistant fabric that fits over the nozzle of your hairdryer. I haven’t tried one before but it looks good.
That fringe weave is absolutely incredible! The ghd Air sounds fantastic. I’m pretty sure my current hairdryer will die soon – this could be the perfect replacement.

Ohh. I am in the market for a new hairdryer and had the Parlus 3800 on my list till I read about the GHD air …. now I don’t know which way to go?? Any advice?? Can you also tell me where the GHD is made and how heavy it is? Thanks
It’s a close call, I think they’re both great. Weight-wise – its pretty close, I think the Air is ever so slightly heavier. Both are made in Italy. It’s a close race for no 1…
Hi
Have you done a comparison with your parlux yet? I love my parlux 3200 but need a new one and am tempted by ghd air but parlux sooooo brilliant I’m unsure about changing and need some advice!!!
Hi Jenna, I haven’t done a comparison post because I’m undecided too at the moment! I think they are both amazing dryers. I will do a post on it, weighing up the pros and cons of both.
That would be brilliant as I am soooo undecided too!
I would love your post on pros and cons as my old cheap hairdryer has gone bust and I’m torn between GHD Air (I’m already a fan of the straighteners) and the Parlux 3800.
