GHD Flight+ hair dryer: two-minute review
A travel hair dryer needs to tick very specific boxes.
It needs to be compact enough to fit in your luggage, without sacrificing too much power.
The GHD Flight+ dryer hits a home run on almost all of these features.
That said, this is what I’d expect from a travel dryer.
As does its dual voltage capability.
My only complaints about the GHD Flight+ are minor.
I’m not a fan of the dryer’s built-in nozzle.
With a semi-transparent, almost brown finish it lets down the rest of the Flight+’s aesthetic.
Not to mention the carry case.
For this price you get the foldable hair dryer and a leather travel case.
This set costs 109 and the standard travel case is replaced by a corduroy case with rose gold accents.
This makes the Flight+ look almost cheap in comparison.
If you’re after a no-frills travel dryer, though, the Flight+ may exceed your needs.
The GHD Flight+ is available fromGHD, andAmazonworldwide.
Even before it’s folded.
It then shrinks when folded to 9 x 5 x 3.5" / 22.9 x 12.7 x 8.9cm.
There’s a small hinge where the handle meets the Flight+’s barrel.
The hair dryer itself looks similar to the GHD Air, albeit half the weight and 25% smaller.
Instead, you gotta use a coin or similar to switch between voltages.
On the rear of the barrel is a GHD-branded metal grille.
It’s just a shame the nozzle lets it down.
I also took it on a weekend away with my family.
It produces an airflow temperature of 149F / 65C.
This left my hair looking and feeling much smoother, although it still lacked any discernible shine.
The Cool Shot function works well.
It helped to set my style and reduced some of the frizz the dryer created.
However, I did take it on a weekend trip so was able to review its portability.
It comes with a strap, and a handle to make it easy to carry on its own.
Plus the carry case does allow you to store the Flight+ more neatly at home.
For such a compact and light dryer, the GHD Flight+ performs admirably.
Should I buy the GHD Flight+ hair dryer?
This is great for occasional drying but will soon frustrate you if you’re using the dryer every day.
You prefer more customisability
The GHD Flight+ comes with just two speed controls, and a fixed Cool Shot.
It’s still foldable, and it’s actually a bit smaller and lighter than the Flight+.
