The all-new GHD Speed is a groundbreaking advance in hair technology, boasting ultra-fast drying with no heat damage. Ahead, we break down what makes the device so impressive.
If there is one chore no one looks forward to, it’s hair wash day. Sure, it’s a necessary evil, and freshly-washed hair feels absolutely amazing, but the arduous process of drying and styling really puts a mental block on the whole task. After all, it’s bad enough that you already have to spend 20 minutes shampooing twice, deep conditioning, and masking up in the shower, but to have to spend anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour drying your hair on top of that? What a nightmare!
All this is to say that if there is any way to cut down that routine, we’re all for it… and we’ve actually found it. Introducing the new GHD Speed, a hairdryer steeped in innovation—and convenience. Meticulously designed and tested by professionals, the hairdryer boasts ultra-fast drying, cool-touch and cool-scalp technology, with no heat damage.
We know it sounds too good to be true, and that’s why we took the liberty of checking out the device for ourselves at the GHD Speed Launch in Hong Kong. Does it live up to the hype? See for yourself!

Ahead, find out everything you need to know about the new GHD Speed:
Powered by Dual Airflow Technology
Hot and dangerous—now, that’s one way to describe your average hairdryer. If you’ve ever struggled with a case of toasted scalp while drying and styling, you’ll know that excess heat and burned skin bodes a terrible fate for the health of your hair. Fortunately, the GHD Speed stops heat damage in its tracks, and it’s thanks to the groundbreaking innovation that powers this compact device. GHD Halo Dual Airflow Technology essentially uses hot and cool dual airflow to deliver a cool-scalp feel and cool-touch exterior even with extended use.
What does this actually mean? For a start, the dryer doesn’t overheat your roots, so you can get up close without discomfort. Next, the dryer’s exterior also stays cool to the touch no matter the heat setting, so you can hold it by the handle or barrel for maximum manoeuvrability. Finally, the hot and cold dual airflow prevents heat damage from accumulating in your strands and delivers a smooth, salon-standard finish that lasts all day long.
Designed for efficiency
In addition to being innovated by professionals, GHD Speed has also been tested by over 4000 consumers to ensure it meets all their hair-drying pain points. As a result, the device has been optimised and engineered for efficiency and performance, boasting a next-gen digital motor that is 91 per cent smaller and spins at 118,000rpm for a lighter, more ergonomic build that still delivers powerful airflow.

Unmatched user experience
At the end of the day, the defining feature of a great hair dryer is how easy it is to use, and the GHD Speed experience has truly been fine-tuned to perfection. With four heat settings and four speed settings, you can easily customise your blow-dry to your preferences. The dryer is also equipped with an LED display and lock button, allowing you to easily check your settings and lock them in to prevent unwanted changes during use. In addition, GHD Speed’s Memory Mode remembers the last setting you’ve used so you can pick up where you left off.
Finally, with four magnetic styling attachments to choose from—the Halo Styling Concentrator Nozzle (comes included), Wide Smoothing Concentrator, Pro Precision Styling Concentrator, and Pro Curl Diffuser—you can tailor your drying experience to your hair’s needs effortlessly.
The new GHD Speed is priced at RM1,980 and available in Titanium Black, Silver White, and Black at ghd salons, Sephora Malaysia, Shopee, and Lazada.
