Budget is under $150. The GHD Platinum+ at $250 is the most expensive flat iron in this guide. For buyers who want professional results at a lower price, the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium at $130 or the CHI Original at $80 provide excellent performance.
The GHD Platinum+ operates at a single optimized 365F temperature that GHD states is the ideal heat for styling without damaging hair. Predictive heat technology measures heat output 250 times per second and adjusts power delivery to maintain the set temperature even as the plates contact cool, damp hair.
The plates have a slight curved outer edge, allowing the styler to be used for both straightening and creating curls and waves by wrapping hair around the barrel. The styler powers off automatically after 30 minutes without use.
At $250, the GHD Platinum+ is for buyers who want the most precise temperature control available in a flat iron.

Buyers who find themselves in a position where budget is under $150 say a different option makes more sense for their situation.
