| Key actives | Not applicable | Avobenzone 3 percent, homosalate 10 percent, octisalate 5 percent, octocrylene 10 percent |
| Mains voltage | Voltage specific. ghd sells 220-240 V models into India and 120 V models into North America -- these are not interchangeable and a heating element is not adapter-tolerant | Not applicable |
| Period after opening | Not applicable | 12 months after opening |
| Volume | Not applicable | 90 ml |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Auto shut-off | 30 minutes | not published |
| Damage note | Any heat styling on wet hair causes structural damage. Hair must be fully dry | not published |
| Dual zone sensors | Maintain even temperature across both plates, which is where cheap straighteners fail -- they have hot spots | not published |
| Finish | not published | Milky, absorbs without a white cast |
| Heat-up | About 25 seconds | not published |
| How SPF scales | not published | Not linearly. SPF 30 blocks about 97 percent of UVB and SPF 60 about 98 percent. Doubling the number buys roughly one percentage point |

| Reapplication | not published | Every 2 hours in sun, and after swimming or heavy sweating |
| Temperature | 185 degrees C, fixed and not adjustable | not published |
| UVA | not published | SPF measures UVB only. UVA causes most ageing and tanning and is rated by the PA system, which US-labelled sunscreens do not carry |
| Water resistance | not published | 80 minutes, which is a tested claim rather than a marketing one |
| What actually matters | not published | Quantity. SPF is measured at 2 mg per square centimetre, about a quarter teaspoon for a face, and almost nobody applies that much. Applying half gives far less than half the rated protection |
| Why fixed | 185 degrees C is the temperature ghd holds to be the best balance of styling effect against protein damage. Straighteners that go to 230 style faster and damage more | not published |
