A too high heat such as 450 degrees can damage the inner structure of the hairline. The lowest setting damages the hair layer of the hair without creating a long -lasting style. GHD has found the perfect compromise. “Imagine 365 as Sweet Spot, which perfectly in between for the longest -lasting results without extreme warming damage,” says Kirkland.
GHD is also behind its researched 365-degree target value with the so-called HD movement-reactive technology, a new mechanism that is contained in both the original Chronos and Chronos Max. The movement -sealed technology compensates for the temperature drop, the occurrence when warmth transmits from the smoothing to the hair itself, which is a phenomenon that calls the GHD thermal delay.
Kirkland illustrates this by imitation with a flat iron on a section of her hair. “Since (the smoothing agent) slides down the strand, it can be 430, then 420 … it is not consistent,” she says. “Our technology can immediately recover from the temperature drop with sensors that measure the entire plate surface 250 times per second to ensure that each individual part of the plate is the same temperature during the entire styling time.”
In short, even if you think you use a tool with a high heat, it may work at 365 degrees Fahrenheit or even less and at the same time cause periods of unnecessary damage. Kirkland says it is these consistent temperature sensors that enable users to straighten their hair faster, hence the name “Chronos” (Chronos was the god of the time of Greek mythology).
No pain, no profit
All of this is undoubtedly impressive and explains the price of the Chronos Max (unusually high for something that is not an air-powered Dyson or a multi-tool), but is this thing actually as good as a 450-degree iron? Well, curl for me and my crings, yes and no.
Starting with wet hair I blown with A Hai Flexfusion Flow-Wire brush Attachment, sprayed on one Thermal insulation (As GHD recommends) and made every section with the Chronos Max. I repeated this process several times. My locks were smooth Paul Mitchell style+ or smooth+let alone a Titan tool like that Sutra. I imagine when my hair was really koilic, how 4a Or the chronos would be an absolute no-go. However, the Max worked wonderfully for daily improvements and over time led to significantly more shine, regardless of whether this was done by the “ultra gloss” of the plates or only general damage to the panels.

But what about these massive plates? Some smoothing iron users who shy away from wider plates such as those on the Maxum, as they are traditionally more difficult to maneuver if they are happy to add someone who likes to add to the ascent waves and curls. Kirkland points out that despite the width, this iron can still be used as a multi-tool because the max panels are sitting closer to the edge of the terminals. I tried it, and although my rail iron curl game is not the strongest, the Max found it no more difficult to achieve it than a 1-inch iron.
Even if my coarse curls were not as smooth as with a hotter path, the Chronos Max is still a candidate for people with more easily managing hair and/or those who want to minimize the damage. Just don’t expect it to work a miracle even though you could be forgiven that you can expect one for the price.
