This Amazon exclusive set pairs the ghd Platinum+ smart straightener with ghd Bodyguard heat protect spray and The All Rounder Paddle Brush. It is the only ghd set on this site to include a heat protector, which makes it a sensible gift for someone starting out with heat styling or who tends to skip protection. The Platinum+ itself is ghd's predictive-heat straightener with a rounder barrel for waves as well as sleek styles.

In its favour
- Three items are listed: the Platinum+ smart styler, Bodyguard heat protect spray and a paddle brush.
- Platinum+ uses ultra-zone predictive technology and ceramic floating plates, per the listing.
- The heat protect spray means the recipient has a protector ready from the first use.
Good to know
- No heat-resistant bag is mentioned in the listing.
- The spray is a consumable, so that part of the set runs out over time.
Our take
The Platinum+ in this set
ghd describes personalised smart styling through ultra-zone predictive technology, holding the optimum 185°C. The listing claims frizz-free styling and up to 75% more shine from the ceramic plates. Amazon gives the item shape as round, reflecting the rounded body designed for curls and waves, and lists hair types including curly, normal, straight and thick.
There is no temperature dial, so the tool works at one heat for everyone.
Bodyguard spray and paddle brush
Bodyguard is described as forming an invisible barrier against heat. Applying a protector before using any straightener is widely advised, and having one in the box removes an extra purchase. Bear in mind it is a consumable and will need replacing. The All Rounder Paddle Brush is pitched at fast, effective styling on mid to long hair.
What is missing
No heat-resistant bag or case is mentioned, unlike the festive ghd sets. The listing also does not state sleep mode timing, cable length or voltage. The listed weight of 400 g is low for a straightener plus spray and brush, so it is not a reliable figure for the tool alone.
How it compares with other gift sets
The ghd Gold gift set has a heat-resistant bag, paddle brush and confirmed universal voltage, but no spray. The ghd Chronos gift set offers ghd's newest motion-responsive heating with a brush and bag. The Cloud Nine Original Iron with a 200 ml heat protection spray is the other set that includes a protector, with adjustable heat as well.
Who should pick another set
If the recipient travels a lot, a set with a heat-resistant bag is more useful than a spray. Someone with fine, fragile hair would benefit more from an iron that can be turned down.
Verdict
Choose this Platinum+ set if you want a smart ghd straightener with heat protection and a brush ready from day one. If a travel bag matters more than spray, the ghd Gold gift set or ghd Chronos gift set are better fits, and the Cloud Nine Original Iron bundle suits those who want both a protector and adjustable heat.
