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
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...
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 😊
Informative content. Very helpful. I'm in process of buying platinum + for my lob. Just wanted to achieve sleek straight shiny hair with ends bending inwards ...no curls and I found the platinum + very easy to use and give shine in 1 pass. Just need to learn to not do too many passes which can dry the hair. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, I’m bald but I want to buy one of these for my wife. Which one should I get pls? She has thin shoulder length hair. Thanks! By the way, I thought these were for straightening hair but you are using them for curls!
Hi 😊 I think she’d love either to be honest, I definitely see how the chronos is slightly superior on really long or thick hair as the curls/waves and more defined but if you’re wife has fine shoulder length hair then I think Platinum+ is probably more than enough for her! Hope this helps 🤞🏼
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
I did not see you pre-spray the Platinum side as you did on the Chronos side with the curl spray. Could that also be the difference? Honestly asking because I’m trying to decide between the two irons & what product to buy for protection and styling as well.
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!) 🥰
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
Hi, im not a woman but i heard the gold is amazing. Ive done some research and apparently the P+ and even the chronos have issues but the gold no-one has complained about it. 4.5/stars with over 6k reviews. Im sure you have warranty on them.
I’ve had the same platinum+ flat iron since ~2018, and a ghd curler since 2021. Used both of the a ton. Never had a single problem. You’ve either had terrible luck, or perhaps problematic outlets/electrical wiring?
I have the original one still, its probably more than 10 years old and still working... im now checking to upgrade to the chronos just because its apparently faster so i guess it would damage a little bit less... but to be honest they still sell the original one and is worth it... just be careful to buy from a verified ghd seller because apparently most of them have been faked
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 😊
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 😊

Thanks for your information in the video! Did you compare the chronos with the Dyson Corrale?

@@ChloeSwiftStylist Thanks for replying. I ended up getting her the Chronos and she loved it. Thanks for your review!
@@Dmaelstrom amazing! So pleased 🥰
Which hairdryer is best? The Dyson supersonic or the ghd Helios?

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’ve had my last GHD hair straightener for almost 8 years 😅 think it’s time to upgrade to the chronos
@@nuriaxlopez I think so!! You won’t regret it
which one do you think is better for thick and frizzy hair?
chronos 🤍
I did not see you pre-spray the Platinum side as you did on the Chronos side with the curl spray. Could that also be the difference? Honestly asking because I’m trying to decide between the two irons & what product to buy for protection and styling as well.
Both sides were prepped the exact same with product 😊
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!) 🥰
I’m in doubt between stempod 4 or ghd chronos. Looking for curly waves and less damage possible. Any thoughts about it? 😊 Thanks ❤
The steampod is so big and chunky. Had to return it because it was just far too big for me but I did see so many good reviews
I bought stempod 4. Absolutely the best investment I’ve ever done to my hair. Absolutely fantastic!!!! I love it so much!
can you regulate the temperature on the chronos??
No it’s just set at 185C / 365F 😊
Is ghd chronos the best one in the market ?
Yes now top of the range styler 😊👍🏼
This is what i searching 4! Thank you sweetheart!
Thank you for your great review ❤ I think I'll go for Chronos, I love curly hair 😊
You’re welcome! Let me know how you get on if you decide to get the chronos! 🥰
What if you just want a sleek look. Which is better ? X

Never buying ghd again. Platinum keeps beeping red faulty. It’s the 4th purchase I made
Oh no ☹️ bad luck x

I see somewhere on a video to try put some heat with your hairdryer on your Chronos styler Plates.
I have the original one still, its probably more than 10 years old and still working... im now checking to upgrade to the chronos just because its apparently faster so i guess it would damage a little bit less... but to be honest they still sell the original one and is worth it... just be careful to buy from a verified ghd seller because apparently most of them have been faked

Omg Relaxxxx , she did great comparing the two straighteners!!
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 😅🤣
The accent was one thing that made me keep watching the video, actually :)
