What is the difference between the ghd Glide+ and the ghd Glide+ Max?
The Glide+ Max has a larger paddle brush head built for long, thick, and curly hair. The standard Glide+ suits most hair types and lengths. Both use the same ghd Advanced Technology with ceramic heater and built-in ioniser with 185°C best optimised styling temperature. The difference comes down to brush size and the hair types each is designed for.
How do you use the ghd Glide+ Max on thick or curly hair?
Start with dry hair and work in sections. The extra-large paddle head covers wider sections, so you can move through long, thick, or curly hair faster than a standard hot brush. Place the brush at the root and glide through to the tip in a single steady stroke. For a longer-lasting finish, pair with ghd Straight On smoothing spray.
How do you clean a ghd hot brush?
Switch the brush off and let it cool completely. Remove loose hair from the bristles by hand or with a fine-tooth comb, then wipe the bristle plate and casing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not submerge the brush in water or use harsh cleaning products.

The Glide+ Max maintains an average plate temperature of 185°C, which ghd identifies as the ideal temperature for styling with no extreme heat damage². The upgraded ceramic heater closely holds this temperature throughout use.
Does the ghd Glide+ Max switch off automatically?
Yes. The Glide+ Max has an automatic sleep mode that switches the brush off after 60 minutes of inactivity.
