- Hi guys! 💞
We are backkkk, following on from last weeks video where I showed you the brand new ghd Chronos styler and demonstrated a straight and a curl - we are now putting it to the test and showing you the comparison between the Chronos and the ghd Platinum+ which WAS ghd's top of the range styler (that is, until Chronos came out!)
Here are my key takeaways:
- Chronos does give a bit more shine (85% vs. naturally air dried hair, whereas Platinum+ gives 75% more shine vs. naturally air dried hair)
- The curls are bouncier, more rounded and defined whereas Platinum+ curls are noticeably a bit looser and with a more straight-ish end
- The curls with Chronos are incredibly consistent from root to tip, now compared to Platinum+I, notice some of the roots of the Platinum+ side were a bit more elongated/dragged out
- You can take larger sections with ease with Chronos
- 10 min sleep mode with Chronos vs. 30 min sleep mode with Platinum+
Summary:
Both fantastic stylers. As you may know, Platinum+ was my go-to hair straightener and now Chronos as just beaten that so I'm sure I will be using Chronos mainly now. I think Chronos is the styler for you if you want the top of the range hair straightener, if you have the budget to spend (it does retail at £289) if you curl or wave with straighteners and if you are hair obsessed like me!
Some of you to be honest, might not even see a noticeable difference between the 2 and that's OK! Because let's face it - Platinum+ is amazing! And I do have a keen hairstylist eye 👀😉 So if you have recently only just bought the Platinum+ then please do not fret - it is still very much a highly rated styler.

This is what i searching 4! Thank you sweetheart!
Great review! Just bought platinum + back in Dec and Chronos came out 😢 the curls definition on Chronos definitely looks better, bouncier and long lasting! Thinking of getting it now 😊
Great review for a fine hair which one would you reccomend?? Especially if more concerned about breakage? Thanks in advance 😊
Thank you for this great video. I’ll go for Chronos. Thanks❤️
you are welcome! 🥰😊
I’m in doubt between stempod 4 or ghd chronos. Looking for curly waves and less damage possible. Any thoughts about it? 😊 Thanks ❤
which one do you think is better for thick and frizzy hair?
Thanks for your information in the video! Did you compare the chronos with the Dyson Corrale?
you're welcome! I actually don't have a corrale, I did try it when it first came out and I really didn't rate it tbh. I found the 'gripping plates' as I think they call them, really pulled on my hair and quite a few strands of hair came out and were on the plates. So I think if I were to compare them then the chronos would blow the corrale out of the water. It might be worth testing corrale out again though to see if anything has changed...
Is the outer casing hot to touch ? As I realised that you’re placing ur fingers over it when curling ur hair to have a better grip 😊
No, the outside casing on both doesn’t really get hot to touch at all. Both platinum+ and the chronos contain heat insulators inside the casing (apparently a material which is also in astronauts space suits!) so this stops the outside getting too hot to touch x
Great review! I’ve purchased both to test them on my hair and wanted to ask… I’ve noticed when using the chronos the plates slide and appear to be very flexible where as the platinum is stationary and no matter how I open and close the plates meet perfectly aligned. Have you noticed the same with yours? I want to be sure it is not defective. Thank you so much! ❤
Yes I know what you mean, there is much more movement with the chronos (like the plates move left and right) it’s much more flexible which is good in a way and it is designed to be like this so it’s gentler on the hair and does not tug, but I can appreciate that not everyone may like this especially if you’re used to using a styler which is quite ‘fixed’ x
Can you tell me when the special editions come out? I would like to buy Chronos in a different color. Thank you so much
There is a lime green one available right now
Yes there is a really cool lime green one for the summer, now there is also a pink one just released for breast cancer awareness and then for Christmas there will be another limited edition colour (which will be out in October!) 🥰
And what's about the diference with the original ghd? I tested platinum+ against the original ghd and for me, original gave me more definition (I think It is because of the size of the styler, original is smallest than platinum+) and also more duration. What do you think about this comparision?
hello! yes plate width, original is the narrowest (marginally) so this would explain defined curls. Original is the 'entry point' styler in the ghd portfolio whereas chronos is now 'top of the range' in the portfolio. There is a big difference in the shine of the hair and the glide through of the hair (this is down to the coating on the plates) original is definitely a stiffer glide I'd say. Chronos is much more intelligent technology with many more layers of tech if you will undermeath the plates. I may do a chronos vs original video but there will for sure be a more noticeable difference x
Is ghd chronos the best one in the market ?
Yes now top of the range styler 😊👍🏼
What if you just want a sleek look. Which is better ? X
They are veryyyy close if doing a side by side sleek/straight look. Chronos does have a bit more shine. Platinum+ was always the go-to for more difficult to style hair and all hair types etc. and it still is! But if you do want the best of the best and those sleek results to really last then I’d opt for the chronos. But I do think a side by side is veryyyy similar in my personal opinion. Hope that helps to somewhat answer! x
This is a stupid comparison.
Depending on your dominant hand, that side is not going to turn out as nice as the other side b/c of the side of the hand that is holding the straightener. It doesn't take a 'stylist's eye' to figure that one out.
Jeeze, if you're giving a biased review, don't give one at all.
Wow thanks for your passionate feedback. As a stylist of almost 15 years, I am ambidextrous and I use both hands to style both sides of my head, whether this is on myself or on a client. I teach using both hands to achieve the best symmetry. If it would make you happy and make you feel that my honest review is ‘less biased’ then I will do my next comparison with the newer styler in my left hand. Have a great day 😊
Annoying accent
I would never hold anyone's accent against them, but the annoying popping sound effect has got to go.
Annoying comment
Not much I can do about that 😅🤣
