The Unplugged story
Championed by influencer and entrepreneur Chiara Verragni*, and coupled with the prospect of a renewed ‘life on the go’, the launch of Unplugged is perfectly timed. Loving this visual of Chiara which dominates the socials as she reclines most elegantly wearing ‘unplugged’ smooth hair, but it’s the hair tool itself which intrigues us. Having bagged (literally!) one to try, we can assert it’s simple, efficient and does the job perfectly.
The headlines are:
• speedy 45 seconds heat-up time delivers up to 20 minutes continuous styling (depending on your styling habits)
• convenient charging works using USB-C cable – use the plug supplied or pop onto any USB port, your laptop included
• a heat-resistant carry case means you can stow the Unplugged in your bag immediately after use
• available in white or black
• the same 185ºC constant heat you expect from ghd stylers
The Unplugged technology
For the geeks who like to know the details, here you are! The Unplugged contains Hybrid Co-lithium technology, a combination of long-life lithium-ion batteries with ghd advanced dual-zone technology, to guarantee the optimum styling temperature of 185°C across both plates and deliver the superior performance that ghd is renowned for, in a handbag sized tool.

Our ghd R&D team have developed the latest battery and heat styling technology which allows us to launch unplugged, a portable cordless styler that delivers the superior performance our tools are known and trusted for, giving consumers and stylists the flexibility to style anywhere, anytime.” Jeroen Temmerman, ghd CEO
