Featuring bespoke Aeroprecis™ technology, combining advanced internal aerodynamics to focus the high power airflow with a contoured precision nozzle for even heat distribution, this professional ghd hair dryer is a hero for better styling control, 8/10 agree*. The lightweight, brushless motor creates a powerful airflow travelling at 120kmph to drastically speed up styling, so you have more time to conquer the world. Ergonomically balanced for a lighter styling experience and adorned in a deep rich plum hue with elegant golden accents, ghd helios™ champions salon-quality like never before. A game-changing new innovation from ghd's leading physicists, engineers and styling professionals, discover ghd helios™ hair dryer for ultimate styling control and 30% more shine*. The engineers have pushed the motor speed up from 2,100w on the Air to 2,200w on the Helios. Its concentrator nozzle is thinner and longer on the Helios compared to the somewhat stubby nozzle that ships with the Air. Create gorgeous waves and enhance your natural curls with a diffuser or style a straight, sleek and smooth look with a concentrated nozzle. Adjustable heat and speed settings allow you to choose the perfect setting for your hair type and specific needs.

GHD has also seemingly solved the issue that plagued a number of GHD Airs we tested in that the nozzle fits tightly enough to not twist and move as you’re drying your hair. Revolutionise your styling routine with the latest innovation from ghd - introducing the ghd helios™ hair dryer in sparkling white, for 30% more shine* and drastically faster styling, 8/10 agree**.The sacrifice you make for the GHD Helios’ increased speed, it seems, is in volume and bounce. Something that not a single dryer has been able to match when compared to the Revlon 2-in-1 Lighter, faster and more precise, style a breath-taking blow dry with the ghd helios™ and hold your head high with the confidence of a Queen. This professional ghd hair dryer is fitted with unique Aeroprecis™ technology, a combination of four advanced internal elements to deliver a highly concentrated airflow, so you can enjoy precise styling control and fashion the salon-quality blow dry of your dreams. Just as cheaper rivals were starting to catch up on, and overtake, the power and performance of the original Air hair dryer, GHD has come out swinging with the Helios. A dryer that surpassed most of our, already high, expectations and one that we’ve found ourselves gravitating towards over every other hair dryer in our collection. Until the release of the GHD Helios, our go-to dryer was the Dyson Supersonic. This is now in second place. It’s up there as one of our favourites – but GHD’s rivals have been hot on its heels in recent years. We didn’t even have to sacrifice hair quality and shine for this improved speed, either. After every use, our hair was almost frizz-free with only minimal flyaways and we never once had to resort to running straighteners over it to complete the look. Two weeks into testing and our hair definitely feels stronger and we’re seeing fewer breakages and less hair loss in the shower.

Subsequently, a large part of the development of Helios went into its so-called AeroPrecis technology.

The GHD Helios just changed up the game

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 Air. Performance If you buy the pink version of this Helios, Platinum Plus or GHD Gold, GHD will donate part of the proceeds to breast cancer charities. Each Helios in the pink collection has the Take Control Now slogan embossed onto the side. Attachments: You get one concentrator nozzle as standard with the Helios. With the Supersonic you get a Smoothing nozzle, a Concentrator nozzle, a diffuser and a heat mat Developed by ghd's leading engineers, physicists and styling professionals, the ghd helios™ delivers salon-smooth results and 30% more shine*. Featuring bespoke Aeroprecis™ technology, combining internal aerodynamics and a contoured nozzle to concentrate the powerful airflow, this professional ghd hair dryer delivers precise styling control. The longer-life, brushless DC motor creates a powerful airflow of 120kmph, while the unique acoustic technology system ensures low sound levels whilst styling.

The Air is the brand’s only other GHD hair dryer that’s still available after the GHD discontinued the GHD Aura. Having owned, and used, a GHD Air for at least five years we can categorically say that the GHD Helios is noticeably lighter from the first use. You can instantly tell it’s quieter, too, and its extra power becomes immediately clear as soon as you start using it That said, we’ve never had a problem with extra weight on the GHD Air because the dryer is so well-balanced. The extra weight even gave the GHD Air dryer a reassuring heft that made it feel expensive. This is missing somewhat with the GHD Helios. The Helios, in terms of weight, feels like many other dryers on the market. Even though it costs up to 10 times as much.On the subject of styling, the lighter weight of the Helios as it moves around the head during a blowdry is welcomed and we thought the GHD Air was well-balanced until we used the GHD Helios. Designed for ease of use and comfort, the ghd helios™ is ergonomically balanced for a lighter styling experience. Advanced ionic technology ensures 3x more hair alignment* for visibly smoother, shinier hair, so you can say goodbye to unwanted frizz and flyaways. And for 24 hour volume hold** pair the ghd helios™ with ghd body goals - total volume foam.
