Key Details
Predictive Technology -- What It Actually Does
Standard flat irons heat to a set temperature and maintain it passively. When you run a plate through a thick section of wet-ish hair, the plate temperature drops briefly before recovering. GHD's predictive system detects that drop within milliseconds and compensates with extra heat to maintain the target styling temperature throughout the pass. The result is more consistent straightening per pass and less repeat styling over the same section. For damaged or color-treated hair where excessive heat exposure causes cumulative harm, predictive control means never accidentally overheating a section while trying to get it straighter.
