Great hair all day, every day &mdash; in record speed, no less.

It&rsquo;s almost impossible to shop for hair tools these days without being bombarded by the same promises: the best, the fastest, the healthiest, the smoothest &mdash; you get the gist. But once in a while, a launch actually lives up to the hype. Enter ghd, which is once again shaking up the hair industry with its new ultra-fast hair dryer: the ghd speed.

Let&rsquo;s talk innovation. Powered by the brand&rsquo;s new ghd halo dual-airflow technology, the dryer surrounds heated airflow with a halo ring of cool air, combining hot and cool streams to deliver powerful yet controlled drying. The result? No matter the heat setting, the ghd speed maintains a cool-scalp feel while staying cool to the touch. Say goodbye to heat damage and say hello to smoother blow dries that last all day.

Under the hood, the ghd Speed is driven by a next-generation digital motor that&rsquo;s 91 per cent smaller and spins at an impressive 118,000 rpm, generating high-pressure airflow for noticeably faster drying. Pair that with its ultra-ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution, and what you get is a tool that feels as good in the hand as it performs. Fast, precise and effortless to manoeuvre &mdash; what more could you ask for?
&ldquo;At ghd, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. The launch of ghd speed marks more than just a new product&mdash;it represents a significant leap forward in beauty tech. Developed in our Cambridge R&amp;D labs, the dual-airflow technology in ghd speed is the result of years of scientific research and engineering excellence. We&rsquo;re proud to bring this innovation to market and continue leading the way in high-performance styling tools that meet the evolving needs of both professionals and consumers,&rdquo; says ghd CEO Jeroen Temmerman.

According to the brand, hundreds of hair dryers were tested, and none came close to matching the speed of the ghd speed.
ghd&rsquo;s Global Director of Education, Dafydd Thomas, echoes this sentiment: &ldquo;This is the fastest hairdryer I&rsquo;ve ever used &mdash; and I&rsquo;ve used a lot of hairdryers. ghd speed is unlike any other hairdryer. Designed by professionals, it delivers the perfect balance of incredible power and exceptional control, ensuring smooth, frizz-free results. This isn&rsquo;t just a hairdryer; it&rsquo;s a revolution in styling, and I can&rsquo;t wait for professionals and consumers everywhere to experience its power and performance.&rdquo;

Beyond performance, the ghd speed also impresses with its thoughtful features. Customisable heat and speed settings are paired with a memory mode that remembers your last-used combination, while the sleek LED display and lock button ensure everything stays locked in during use. The dryer comes with a halo styling concentrator nozzle for a flawless finish, with additional attachments available separately, including the halo wide smoothing concentrator, pro precision styling concentrator, pro curl diffuser and pro high-strength comb.

Available in three colours (Titanium Black, Silver White and Black), the new ghd speed retails at RM1,980 and is available at ghd salons, Sephora, as well as Shopee and Lazada Official Stores.
