Wires or no wires, this offers the slick styling experience we expect from ghd, which is mighty impressive considering it runs on battery life alone. Now, about that battery life. You get 20 minutes from a full charge, which takes about two hours. If you have fine short-to-medium hair that will be plenty, if you have thick or curly hair you could probably only use this as a top-up tool for midday frizz outbreaks rather than your main styler. That said they do make charging easy thanks to a USB port, which means you can easily plug it into your laptop or car to give it a boost.
Overall, this is a nice first foray into the cordless flat iron market. It would certainly be useful for travel or anyone who wants to restyle after leaving the house. The usage time could be a little better, but ghd are masters of improving on their offerings so we have no doubt that'll come in good time.

And if you are determined to perfect how to curl hair with straighteners , this is the gold standard option. If you have thick, curly hair, or a natural hairstyle that you like to smooth out every now and then, the ghd Max is undoubtedly one of the best straighteners for curly hair on the market.
With broad plates twice as long as any other ghd model two inches vs. The downside of larger plates is they do take slightly longer to heat up than other ghd hair straighteners, but at just 30 seconds it's a fair trade. If you wear hair extensions you'll also find the Max makes for easier restyling of extra lengths. The only aspect of these ghd straighteners that was a little lacking is creating waves, as the plates are too wide to bend the hair easily.
So while your hair straightener uses may be limited to straightening and smoothing, it does a truly excellent job of both, and you can always grab the best curling iron for anything else.
