Which ghd Curve is right for you?

Updated: 09/07/2026

Here at LOOKFANTASTIC HQ we've noticed more and more curly haired beauties showing off their curls. Whether they be man-made or natural, ringlets or waves; curls are back and they are here to stay (with the help of some strong-hold styling spray). We love ghd for their styling tools but which curling tong will give you the look you want?

Discover which ghd Curve is right for you with our guide.

What is a ghd Curve Tong?

All ghd Curve Tongs and Wands have been designed to give you gorgeous waves and curls based on the finish you want. Each one is unique in the look it gives you, meaning you can master your perfect curl.

Why we love the ghd Curve Range

The entire range of ghd curling wands feature innovative tri-zone technology. This enables your hair to be safely styled at a constant, correct temperature of 185 degrees, with heat passing evenly through the styler. So not only will your curls look great (heavenly even!) but your hair will thank you too. Merci ghd!

Other ghd Curve Features:

  • The Automated switch-off - You don't need to fret about whether you remembered to switch them off before you run out the door!
  • The Cool tip - You can control your hair styling technique without losing a finger!
  • The Spring-activated lever - You can hold your curls in position for longer.
  • The Stand - You don't have to try and balance it on the corner of your bedside table to avoid burning the carp

Which ghd Curve should I buy?

1. ghd Curve Soft Curl Tong (32mm)

Best For: Soft, Loose Curls The ghd Curve Soft Curl Tong is ideal for creating bigger, softer curls with a polished, salon-style finish. Designed with a 32mm barrel, it’s best suited to loose curls, brushed-out waves and adding movement through mid-lengths and ends, especially on longer hair. Ceramic tri-zone technology helps maintain ghd’s optimum styling temperature of 185°C, giving curls a smooth, healthy-looking finish while supporting longer-lasting shape. The sprung lever makes it easy to secure each section from the root, while the larger barrel keeps the result soft, bouncy and effortlessly wearable.

Key Features:

  • 32mm large barrel
  • Ceramic tri-zone technology
  • Optimum styling temperature of 185°C
  • Sprung lever for easy styling from the root
  • Designed to create soft curls and volume
  • Safety stand for resting between sections
  • Suitable for salon-style curls at home

2. ghd Creative Curl Wand (28-23mm)

Best For: Beachy Waves and Natural-Looking Curls The ghd Creative Curl Wand is made for curls that look effortless rather than too polished. Designed with a tapered 28mm to 23mm barrel, it helps create a mix of soft curls, undone waves and natural-looking texture, depending on how tightly you wrap each section. Ceramic tri-zone technology maintains ghd’s optimum styling temperature of 185°C across the barrel, giving hair a smooth, shiny-looking finish while helping your style hold. Use wider sections for relaxed beachy waves, or smaller pieces for more defined movement. With a protective cool tip, safety stand, and automatic sleep mode, it’s a versatile styler that feels easy to use at home.

  • Tapered 28mm to 23mm barrel
  • Ceramic tri-zone technology

3. ghd Curve Thin Curl Wand 14mm

Best For: Tight Curls and Defined Ringlets

The ghd Curve Thin Curl Wand is made for creating tight, defined curls with lasting shape. Designed with a 14mm barrel, it’s ideal for ringlets, corkscrew curls and adding more detailed texture through shorter layers or finer sections of hair. Ultra-zone technology monitors heat across the barrel to maintain ghd’s optimum styling temperature of 185°C, helping curls look smooth, shiny and more uniform without relying on extreme heat. Wrap smaller sections for a tighter finish, then gently separate with your fingers for softer, fuller-looking texture. With a protective cool tip, safety stand, and automatic sleep mode, it keeps precise styling simple.

Key Features:

  • 14mm thin barrel
  • Ultra-zone technology
  • Optimum styling temperature of 185°C
  • Designed to create tight curls and defined coils
  • Suitable for all hair types and lengths

Designed with a 32mm barrel, it creates larger curls, loose waves and body through the lengths, making it a strong choice for longer hair or anyone who prefers a more voluminous curl pattern. Curl-responsive technology adapts to your styling movements, maintaining ghd’s optimum 185°C temperature across the barrel for fast, high-definition results without extreme heat. The longer barrel helps make styling larger sections easier, while the finish feels glossy, smooth and ready to brush out into effortless volume.
