Ceramic coated aluminium 1/1 inch plates for sleek styling – These slim straighteners are perfect for shorter hair and fringes. They get closer to the scalp than larger irons, and are still great for use on longer hair. The plates are made of aluminium for optimal heat conduction. ghd says aluminium conducts heat 4 times better than steel. And it’s so much lighter! The aluminium plates have an advanced ceramic coating so the plates glide through the hair smoothly, without tugging or pulling, leaving a sleek, shiny style.
Floating plate technology – The floating plate technology ensures consistent even pressure all the way down the hair section. This means no marks or indentations in your beautiful coiffure!
Contoured plates – The design of the contoured plates makes this styler perfect for not only creating straight styles, but also for making flicks and curls as well. Only your imagination is the limit to the styles you can create when you use the ghd V Gold Mini Styler.
Improved temperature control – ghd works continuously on improving its products. With the newest technological advancements you can be sure that your straightener has the latest and greatest heating technology for consistent, even heat distribution with no hot spots.
On/off switch and power indicator light – For added convenience you can leave your straightener plugged in even when not using it. It has an on/off switch and the ghd logo glows when it is turned on. This is especially helpful as you know it is hot if this light is on. It also beeps when it’s ready so now there are no singed fingers from trying to check and see if it is on and ready for styling.
Sleep mode – Now you don’t have to worry if you’re in a rush in the morning and run out of the house without turning your straightener off. All ghd models have a sleep mode and if left unattended, after 30 minutes will shut themselves off. What a fabulous safety feature!
2.7 metre swivel cord – The ghd V Gold Mini Styler has a 2.7 metre salon length cord so you can be sure it’s long enough to reach from the wall plug to the mirror with plenty of room to spare. And the cord swivels as you use it so it won’t get all tangled up while you work. This is great for longer hair!
Protective plate guard – This straightener also comes with a handy protective plate guard. Just slip it on to protect the plates as they’re cooling, and you also protect your counters and any little fingers that may wander by.
Universal voltage – All ghd stylers come with universal voltage so they can be used anywhere in the world without an adaptor, and not lose power.You can look great while you travel with your favourite styler.
2 year guarantee – All ghd Gold Series stylers come with a 2 year guarantee and the manufacturer will repair or replace them if they are found to be defective within this time period. So rest assured you’re getting a good product with the company backing it up. Remember to hang onto your receipt.

Summary
ghd has done it again with the Gold Series Mini styler. These little beauties can be your main stylers or an addition to your larger ones. They’re perfect for those styles with shorter hair and when you want to work closer to the scalp. They also straighten, flick and curl as well as the large straighteners. They give a smooth, glossy shine to the hair for a salon quality finish. They have an advanced design with contoured plates for beautiful styles and even better, ghd says they are lighter and cooler to work with than their previous series.
Although these straighteners are a little pricey, users have come to know that you get what you pay for. ghds are fast and easy to use, and produce such high quality styling that even hairdressers prefer them. The only negative with them seems to be that they do not have an adjustable heat setting to reduce the temperature for use on fine, color treated, or damaged hair. However, ghd says that their stylers are “designed to operate from 175ᵒC to 185ᵒC because that is the optimal operating temperature for their advanced ceramic heating technology to create superior results whatever the hair type”.
Well, there you have it. Maybe there really IS a one temperature fits all straightener and that one is ghd. All those loyal users can’t be wrong.
