Conquer frizz and flyaways with advanced ionic technology and a bespoke contoured nozzle to ensure a concentrated, even airflow, resulting in a beautifully smooth finish with 3x more hair alignment*. Lightweight and ergonomically balanced with bespoke acoustic technology for low sound levels during use, the ghd helios™ is designed for ultimate ease of use. And for 24 hour volume hold*** pair the ghd helios™ with ghd body goals - total volume foam. It is however the most stylish of the bunch, and performance is a distinct step up from both the Air and the Nanoe. In fact, we’d say it’s the first hair dryer to rival the Dyson Supersonic for sheer drying power – and that’s an impressive feat. At this price, you really only have two dryers to choose from – and they both happen to be sold by GHD.

It’s up there as one of our favourites – but GHD’s rivals have been hot on its heels in recent years.Lightweight and ergonomically balanced for styling comfort, paired with a bespoke acoustic system to ensure low sound levels, the ghd helios™ is designed for ease of use and salon-quality results. In just one minute and six seconds, our hair went from wet out of the shower to dry. This is a minute faster than the Supersonic, which itself is a minute faster than the competition. It was slightly slower at drying our hair after a swim – 1 minute and 50 seconds. By comparison, the GHD Air took a little under four minutes for the latter. What’s more, despite this test only rough drying our hair, we didn’t feel the need to use straighteners to complete the look and smooth flyaways. A rarity.

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 Instead of straight, flat edges, the edges of the holes on the grille are concave. This helps reduce the level of noise and volume created by the Helios. It most definitely makes a noticeable difference to the volume of the GHD Helios.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. Take your blow-dry to a new level with the ghd helios™. Launched in 2020, our most premium hair dryer has already received 10 awards to date, including the Allure Best of Beauty Award for Best Hair Dryer. To achieve a salon-worthy finish, the ghd air® hair dryer is the perfect addition to your tool kit.
