If there is one thing that we want from our hairstyling routine is for it to last as long as possible. The latest from the ghd team is the Chronos Curve line, with two tongs available to give you the option between high definition curls with the Classic Tong or voluminous waves with the Grand Tong—both of which offer the same technology that will lock in your hairstyle for all-day wear. The brand is already a leader in the hair styling tool space, and now it’s back with more technological updates to bring home to users everywhere that salon-worthy hairdo.
What to Expect from the ghd Chronos Curve Range
The Latest Technology
The game changer here is the Curl Responsive Technology, which sounds exactly like that. When working with curls, we manoeuvre around the hair and the tool a lot, with hair coming in and out of contact with the tong. There is also the case of “thermal lag”, which is heat loss when the hot tool touches cooler materials, and for this instance, it’s hair. With the Curl Responsive Technology, the tongs are able to recognise the movements and intelligently adapt the temperature to remain at the sweet spot of 185˚C, all without causing damage to the hair shaft.
This is achieved through a combination of several things: the Infinity Sensors, ghd’s latest generation of ceramic heaters, and the professional anodised coating. The first is able to monitor the temperature across the full length of the barrel, allowing the tool to respond to any temperature change at any point of the barrel. The ceramic heaters, on the other hand, are designed to maintain the optimum temperature of 185˚C at all times, really and truly helping users avoid irreversible and extreme heat damage to their precious hair. At the same time, it allows you to curl a section of hair in as fast as five seconds.
And the professional, premium anodised coating is a feature that does several things. Not only does it allow for optimum heat transfer into the hair (and therefore locking the style in faster), it also gives the users a better grip for the hair and imparts the best shiny smoothness. In one go, the ghd Chronos Curve line is able to deliver a sleek and long-lasting finish with a quick pass—what more can a girl ask for?
Ease of Use
Of course, all that tech would mean nothing if it were complicated to use. Which is why ghd has the ultimate ease of use in our books. With only a single button, it takes out any guesswork one might have to deal with during hairstyling. The company has discovered that 185˚C is the best styling temperature for all hair types, so all ghd tools will heat up to this standardised temperature. All you have to do in your routine is apply your pre-styling products, and you’re off to the races.
There is also much to appreciate in the 2.7m long cable and the swivel cord. These may often go unnoticed, but these are the very things that make the hairstyling session go as smoothly as it can. The cord also features, drum roll please, universal voltage, so users can travel anywhere in the world without having to worry about potentially damaging the tool along the way. For those who have suffered from this costly mistake, this foolproof feature can be a total lifesaver on their travels.
Upon switching on, the tongs in the Chronos Curve range heat up within 25 seconds, which goes in a flash when you’re at the dressing table. You can be ready with a banging hairstyle in just about 15 minutes, and faster if you’ve already mastered the handiwork.
The tongs are also ergonomically designed, fitting perfectly in the palm of the hand. Additionally, the redesigned cool tip keeps you from accidentally burning yourself while giving you a higher level of control during the styling session.
Safety Feature
Whenever we’re working with heat tools, it is always better to have an additional layer of protection, so ghd has made sure that the Chronos Curve line comes with a couple of thoughtful ones. Putting your working surface into consideration, the tools come with an integrated silicone soft stand, which adds a considerable amount of space between the surface and the barrel. It works both ways, because it means the coating of the tongs is also protected from incurring any damage.
Last, but certainly not least, the tools have a sleep mode, which automatically switches off after 20 minutes of inactivity. No more doubling back to your room to see if you’ve accidentally left the tool on, because it won’t be, even if you did.
