The fixed 185 degrees C is a deliberate design decision rather than a limitation: it is the temperature ghd holds to balance styling against keratin damage, and straighteners offering 230 degrees style faster while doing measurably more harm.

Hand-filed alignment is the difference and it is a real one: a machine-ground tweezer meets at the point but not along the whole edge, so it slides off a fine hair where an aligned slant grips the full shaft.

| Specification | ghd Gold Professional Styler 1-inch Hair Straightener | Tweezerman Slant Tweezer Stainless Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹18,900 | ₹1,999 |
| 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 |

| Volume | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty | 1 Year Official Brand Warranty |
| Auto shut-off | 30 minutes | not published |
| Care | not published | Wipe the tips after use; product residue is what dulls the grip |
| 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 |
| Heat-up | About 25 seconds | not published |
| Plates | Ceramic, floating, 1 inch | not published |
| Sharpening | not published | Tweezerman resharpens free of charge, which effectively makes it a lifetime tool |
| Steel | not published | Stainless, so it can be alcohol-sterilised repeatedly without pitting |
| Temperature | 185 degrees C, fixed and not adjustable | not published |
| Tension | not published | Calibrated -- too stiff and it fatigues the hand, too soft and it slips |
| Tip | not published | Hand-filed slant, aligned under magnification |
| 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 |
| Why hand filing matters | not published | Machine-ground tips meet at a point but not along the full edge. A hand-aligned slant grips the whole hair shaft, which is why it grabs a hair a cheap tweezer slides off |
