ABOUT THE BRAND
An abbreviation for “Good Hair Day,” GHD is a British brand that got its start in 2001 making flat irons. Now, the brand has a variety of tools and treatments that help keep hair healthy and looking its best.

WHAT IT DOES
This curling iron has a patented pulse technology that heats up fast and keeps it super hot for the duration of your styling session. The professional swivel cord and stay cool tip mean you can style your hair easily and efficiently without having to fuss with the cord.

HELPFUL TIP
Hot curling irons are great for getting curls that last, but you should always use a heat protectant to keep your strands healthy—especially if you regularly use hot tools.

WHAT IT DOES
If this curling iron looks a bit out of the ordinary, that's because it is. It's designed with tiny air vents that cool on contact to lock in your style and an easy-to-use clip that makes creating different looks a breeze. 

HELPFUL TIP
Since this styling tool can do both curling and straightening, here's a few tips to help you understand how it works: To curl your hair, hold the tool with the base pointed either up or down and squeeze the clip to open the plates. Take a 1-inch section of hair near the roots (or mid-shaft for longer hair) and twist the tool while sliding it down your hair to create curls. If you want to straighten your hair, hold the tool parallel to the floor and squeeze the clip to open the plates. Insert a 1-2 inch section of hair at the roots and slide the tool from root to tip, using your free hand to hold the cool tip of the tool.

WHO IT'S FOR
The Bio Ionic curling iron is two inches longer than the average curling iron, making it ideal for long or thick hair since you can curl more hair at once. The longer barrel also helps to reach the back of the head more easily for more consistent styling.  

RAVE REVIEW
"When I say I've tried so many other ways of curling my hair, I am not kidding. This is the first iron that I was able to easily learn how to curl AND looks fab! Beautiful loose curls. I love that it's long as well. Super smooth to work with. Will try to make tighter curls next time but this is a 10/10!"

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT

RAVE REVIEW
"I love this curling iron, especially for the price. It works perfectly on my hair. I have fine hair and the clip holds my hair tight so it doesn't slip out when I'm trying to roll it. The one I had previously always caught my hair and pulled pieces out when I tried to use it. This one is very smooth and I have no problems with it. I would definitely buy it again should I need another one."
