Come behind the scenes at the Sydney launch of the new ghd speed
We were lucky enough to be invited over for a media and influencer trip to celebrate the massive ghd Speed launch in Sydney. From the moment we touched down, it was clear ghd was taking the "fast lane" theme seriously. We flew over in to sydney and arrived in serious style, ready to get hands-on with what might be the biggest leap in hair tech we’ve seen in years.
The first thing you notice about the new ghd Speed is that it doesn’t just blow hot air—it’s about power that meets precision."The whole idea with it is that it’s based on speed and lots of heat technology," I noted while getting my own hair done at the event. "The new blow dryer was able to lift my hair back up, and the best part? It’s cold to the touch rather than being a hot thing, which is great for a Sydney summer day".
This is all thanks to the new ghd halo™ dual-airflow technology. While most dryers just crank up the heat to dry faster, ghd surrounds that hot air with a halo ring of cool air. It keeps the scalp cool and the barrel safe to hold, meaning no heat damage and a much more comfortable experience.
The launch event itself was a total "who’s who" of the Australian influencer scene. The vibe was high-octane, themed entirely in chrome, white, and black to match the sleek new dryer finishes. To really drive home the speed narrative, ghd had a Lamborghini and a Ferrari on-site, plus racing simulators that everyone was jumping on.
Engineered in ghd's Cambridge R&D labs, this tool features a next-gen digital motor that is 91% smaller than previous models. It’s ultra-light, ultra-ergonomic, and honestly, it’s the fastest dryer I’ve ever seen in action. With four customisable heat and four speed settings, plus a Memory Mode to recall your last selection, achieving your perfect look is effortless. It comes complete with 5 magnetic styling attachments for everything from defined curls to high-strength combing.
Available in Titanium Black, Silver White, and Black (RRP $645), the ghd Speed is officially the new gold standard for anyone who wants salon-level results without the wait.
