The Best Hair Straightener | GHD Platinum + vs. Bio Ionic 10x

Two of the best hair straighteners in the market right now at around the same price, the GHD Platinum + and the Bio Ionic 10x. I test them out on my thick, coarse hair to see which one comes out on top.
At a glance, I really like the sleek look of the GHD Platinum + as it looks very premium. On the other hand, the Bio Ionic 10x looks more robust, but when it comes to which one is the best hair straightener I’ll let you decide from the results.
If you like either the GHD or the Bio Ionic, you can find them here.

The Best Hair Straightener | GHD Platinum + vs. Bio Ionic 10x

[@thankfulgrateful9623]

Thank goodness I found someone that has practical,researched information on this product...I can not believe how some channels get by by jist uploading themselves using the Iron without giving any information about it and often referring to "i don't know why it does that"..ok,isn't that their job?!..thats why I had to spend 20 minutes just to find a decent video on $$ products . Its really frustrating and unfortunate that they don't realize it is off putting to sub to the channel.. however this channel was a great learning experience 👍

[@herliekim]

wow. This means a lot! thank you! 😭

[@mypawfectfamily]

Yes love these old school in-depth comparisons. These are the videos us viewers need since we can’t afford to own all of them like many beauty gurus.

[@herliekim]

thank you for seeing my efforts in this video! I won't diappoint.

[@rebeccabenz6965]

How ironic you did a video on the exact 2 irons I purchased in the last couple of days. First I got the ghd at ulta for $249 usd on Saturday. I was super excited to use it, loved the way it looked and felt. Sadly the ghd performance was very poor for me and I was very disappointed. My hair is very thick and color/bleached so I was thrilled with the prospect of 70% less damage as claimed by ghd. Unfortunately after doing multiple passes over the same thin sections (5+), my hair was only ever partially straightened. It took forever to do my entire head of hair and the results were not good. I returned it the next day and decided to cut off 8 inches of length in frustration. The next day (today) I HAD to have a new iron because my hair is too short to curl. I asked for a recommendation from Salon Centric, my local pro supply store, and was highly recommended to get a bio ionic 10x. As part of a summer sale I got it for -50% which was $98 usd. I set it to 360 but bumped it up to 380 and it was fantastic, one pass, smooth, not a bunch of baby hairs from root sticking straight up as with other brands. I'm a little confused by the vibrating plates but saw in another video it's supposed to get closer to the root. I am very happy with the Bioionic 10x although I loved the look and feel of the ghd. Also want to mention that I did not have product steam or evaporation coming off my hair strands as with other irons. I would recommend the Bioionic.

[@grotari67]

Thank you 😊

[@WhileIvySleeps]

Although I couldn’t spend that much on an iron, I appreciate your style of comparison! Lovely job (:

Awesome! Thank you!

Been using bio ionic for 3yrs already and still kicking ass.

[@herliekim]

How do you find the vibrating feature? I find it hard to use with that one.

[@lindzz3932]

I can’t decide which one to buy

[@nikita4432]

I have the bio ionic but I don't like to much. I have another that I bought in a mall kiosk years ago and it's better. I'm thinking in buying the Dyson or the ghd but I'm with so many doubts if they will be better than the ikonic 😅😅😅

[@Jenniferx-su6pw]

I’m obessed with bio ionic . Love the vibration! It makes a difference.

[@herliekim]

I feel like there's a learning curve with that feature which I wasn't able to get a hang of.

[@Jenniferx-su6pw]

Herlie Kim I see :/ either way love your review ! I think ghd was smoother :)

[@kandices]

Omg these are the two I was trying to choose from. How did you know 😭♥️👏🏻

[@herliekim]

those two are the beest! ❤️ such a tough choice!

[@kandices]

I got the bio ionic for anyone who reads this and I’m OBSESSED 😍

[@adelinadulce]

After six hours the GHD side wasn't as straight anymore. Starting to curl a lil bit. I still feel like the Bio looks better overall despite the frizz.

[@jandinunez9710]

My GHD does not straighten my hair as much. I have 3b hair types and in medium length. It takes forever to straighten and it doesn’t last long. I just don’t like it. I bought it a while ago so I can’t return it but it’s sad because it’s not good for my hair type. You cannot control the heat settings so it does it for you to prevent damage. However, that prevents it from getting my hair straight

[@herliekim]

I’m so sorry it didn’t work out for you Jandi. 🙁 In this case, Bio Ionic might work well for you.

[@jandinunez9710]

@@herliekim I agree. Thanks

[@ariannvaa2078]

I know I'm late to this Video, but GHD is amazing! I was out on vacation and me and my cousins were getting ready to go somewhere they let me use their straightener, and it was the GHD. My hair was so silky, and smOOTH, and AMAZING! I loved it.

[@herliekim]

Hi! I feel the same way. 🤣 I only knew about Ghd this year when my old hair straightener broke down. My Ghd is still perfect! 🥰💜

[@irishenkapolyakova7634]

Ghd has been around for a long time and I think they have reserved a spot in this hair tool arena.

[@herliekim]

I didn’t know much about them till I started researching for hair tools since I needed a new hair straightener. 😅

I see the ghd gold is better than the platinum + please compare the 2

[@renzavala3376]

Yeeees!

[@pdesai2340]

Very nice comparison and you didn’t mention that GHd also has auto shut off feature which is simply peace of mind for people like me rushing in the morning to go to work and then wondering if I turned off my flat iron or not😄

[@pdesai2340]

I just placed an order for GHD and also had bought Babyliss which I realized is not supporting 220v so might not be optimum for travel use. My hair is also medium or coarse and freeze at times, hopefully GHD might work.

[@herliekim]

Oh that’s great to hear! And thank you for pointing that out. I did forget to mention that awesome feature! 😊

[@kristinbates8852]

Ghd all the way girl! I love my ghd hair straightener. Heats up well, leaves my hair soft and silky. Although I cannot see the difference in this video I prefer ghd

[@herliekim]

Kizzy Arianne Wairissal hi Kizzy! Then the Bio Ionic might be the best bet for you. Temperature could go higher to 450 . Nonetheless, both of them are good! 💞 as for my hair type, ghd did the trick 😊

[@swanthequeen2144]

I have only use bio ionic now and I would always recommend. Last for years. Only once had a GHD and it damaged my hair, I returned it. Your review and comments seem very biased towards GHD literally not even one good comment about the Bio Ionic lol I encourage viewers to see other reviews. And I would not recommend a straightener that can’t regulate the temp. This could be disastrous for other kind of hairs but of course you didn’t mention that, I wonder why.

[@herliekim]

Hi, Thank you for your valuable insight. However, I did mention that GHD only has one heat setting ( heat is monitored 250 times per second so that it's constantly at the optimum 365°F styling temperature for even healthier hair). I respect that Bio Ionic is your choice and I still stand by my own opinion with it. Some people might prefer Bio Ionic because of its added features but comfortability wise, I preferred the GhD over Bio Ionic. As I mentioned, both of them are good, but I chose GHD based on my experience. These are just my two scents on these hair products. 🤗❤️
