The white ghd Duet Style is ghd's 2-in-1 hot air styler, which takes hair from wet to styled in one tool. It suits people who would rather not blow-dry and then straighten separately, and those curious about wet to dry styling from a brand they already know for plate straighteners. A feature that separates it from some wet to dry rivals is a shine shot mode for dry hair, aimed at quick frizz control between washes.

In its favour

- The shine shot is listed to give 2x more shine on dry hair.

Good to know

Our take
Wet to styled in one pass
ghd describes Duet Style as the first 2-in-1 hot air styler that transforms hair from wet to styled with no damage. Air and heat work together so the hair dries while it is being straightened, and the maker says it protects hair's natural moisture.
Amazon gives a maximum temperature of 210°C on this listing, though the listing does not describe the number of heat or airflow settings.
The shine shot for dry hair
On dry hair, the shine shot is claimed to give instant frizz-free results, twice the shine and 3.5 times more hair alignment. That makes the Duet Style useful on second-day hair, not only straight after washing. ghd also claims up to 48 hours of softness, and suggests pairing it with its Sleek Talker styling oil.
Gaps in the listing
This listing gives a weight of 0.1 g, which is clearly an error, so the real weight is not stated. Heat and airflow settings, sleep mode and cable length are also missing. Anyone sensitive to tool weight should check the manufacturer's information before buying.
Duet Style against other wet to dry tools
The Dyson Airstrait uses two jets of air with no hot plates, with 4 heat and 3 airflow settings and Wet and Dry modes. The Shark SilkiPro combines ceramic plates and airflow with a listed maximum of 230°C and three combs. The Shark FlexStyle 5-in-1 is a dryer and multi-styler with a paddle brush.
Who might be better served elsewhere
If you want a crisp, plate-pressed finish or need to curl as well, a conventional straightener or a multi-styler covers more. Those with short hair that dries in minutes may not save much time either.
Verdict
The white Duet Style is a good fit if you want ghd's take on wet to dry straightening with a shine shot for dry days. If clear settings and stated weight matter, the Dyson Airstrait lists more detail, and the Shark SilkiPro suits those who want plates plus airflow with a choice of combs.
