ghd Helios Professional Hair Dryer - Lightweight, Fast Styling, Ultimate Styling Control - For All Hair Types (UK Plug)

This is the black version of the ghd Helios. Same 2200W brushless motor, same Aeroprecis nozzle, same ionic tech, same 3m cable. If you've read our ghd Helios buyer's guide, everything there applies here. The only difference is the colour.

Quick specs

2200W brushless motor with 120 km/h airflow. Aeroprecis nozzle for concentrated airflow. Enhanced ionic technology, ghd claim 30% more shine. Three temperature and power settings, cool shot, 3m cable. 2-year ghd guarantee. No diffuser in the box.

Why the separate listing

Amazon lists different colours as separate products, which means separate review counts. This black version has 2,162 reviews at 4.6 stars. The coloured versions have their own counts. It's the same dryer regardless of which one you add to your basket.

ghd Helios vs ghd Air

The Helios has a brushless motor (lighter, more efficient) and the Aeroprecis nozzle (more precise airflow). The Air is cheaper with a standard motor. Our ghd Helios review and ghd Air review cover both in detail.

Compared to Dyson

About half the price of a Dyson Supersonic. Less smart, no sensors, no magnetic attachments. But it dries fast and the build quality is genuine. Our ghd Helios vs Dyson Supersonic comparison has the full breakdown.

No diffuser

Same as every other Helios. You buy the ghd diffuser separately if you need one. For curly hair, that's an extra cost. Our best hair dryer for curly hair guide has options where the diffuser comes included.

For the wider comparison, our best professional hair dryer guide puts the Helios against BaByliss, Panasonic, and Shark at similar price points.
