Behind the Brand - ghd:

If you can even remember before you got your first hair straightener (it's like there was never such a time) you might remember the hours spent trying to blow dry your hair straight, the sweat running down your neck, your hair frizzing, and no amount of product could keep that mane sleek for more than a few hours.

Seeing the gap in the market - 3 entrepreneurs from Leeds in the UK; Martin Penny, Gary Douglas and Robert Powls decided to acquire production and distribution rights for a high end, high quality flat iron. Robert Powls had previously worked as a hair stylist, salon manager and owned 3 hair salons and knew they could be on to a winner.

ghd was born.

The original ghd straightener was given to a few select UK hair stylists - many were shocked by the high price of the straightener but every stylist that received it refused to give it back. News of the versatility of this amazing styler spread, and soon everyone was talking about ghd. All the celebrities wanted ghd to be used on their hair including Madonna, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker. ghd was seen as the ultimate symbol of status and glamour.
