Our fave hair brands are always busy innovating, but the new GHD Duet Blowdry promises a bouncy blow dry, in faster time, and all in one tool. The styler’s revolutionary 2-in-1 hair dryer brush can take hair all the way from wet, to styled, without creating damage – which means you can move from shower fresh hair to a salon-worthy blow dry in no time.
It follows hot on the heels of the brand’s OG Duet hot air styler (which launched last year and dries and straightens hair in one go), only this time, it offers more oomph and bounce.
The new tool taps up Heat-Air Xchange Technology, which converts energy from the air to heat the barrel (and specially designed tangle-proof plastic bristles) at an optimal low temperature to avoid overheating delicate hair. Essentially, it blends air flow and heat to keep things gentle. As for results, it promises three times more volume, and 50% more shine, so obviously we wanted to see for ourselves.
Our team managed to get our hands on the GHD Duet Blowdry before it launches (today). Here’s what we thought when we put it to the test…

I am lazyyyy when it comes to styling my hair. So far I’ve hacked my routine down to rough-drying my hair with a blow dryer, then tying it up in a ponytail and sectioning it from there to curl with a tong. Once back down I just finish off the face-framing sections, so it’s a speedy process. I have been admiring the big, bouncy blow drys all over TikTok though so I was so excited to try a tool that could give me oomph and volume, but quickly.
This was easy enough to use, even for a beginner like me, to create a smooth, sleek shape. I sectioned my hair into two halves and slowly brushed through the bottom section to dry, then repeated again, rolling the brush to add a little more of a flicky shape. Then I repeated on the top section.
