GHD’s Chronos Max Review: High Tech, Not High Heat

A very high heat like 450 degrees can damage the internal structure of the hair strand; The minimum setting damages the hair cuticle layer without creating a chronic style. GHD has found the perfect compromise. “Think of 365 as a sweet spot as a sweet spot, Kirkland said, the perfect underlying for chronic results without any damage to chronic heat.”

GHD further stands behind its research 365-degree set point, which is called HD motion-reactionary technology, it is a new process included in both cranos and cronos Max. The motion-reactionary technology compensates for the temperature drop, which transfer the hair from the heat to itself to the hair itself, is an event that is called GHD thermal lag.

Kirkland imitates it using flat iron in a part of its hair. “As [the straightener] Glides below the strand, it may be 430, then 420 … it is not consistent, “he says.” We say that we have the ability to recover immediately from the tempo drop with sensors in our technology, which measure the surface of the entire plate 250 times, so that every part of the plate is exactly the same temperature. “

In short, even if you feel that you are using a high-ending equipment, it can be operated in 365 degrees Fahrenheit or less, as well as the duration of unnecessary damage. Kirkland says it is a series of temperature sensors that allow users to straighten their hair more quickly, so the name “Cronos” (God of time of Cronos Greek myth).

No pain, no profit

It is undoubtedly impressive, and it explains the price tag of the Kronos Max (unusually high for something that is not an air-driven dyson or multi-tool), but does this act really straighten by 450-degree iron? Okay, for me and my fridge Carls, yes and no.

Starting with wet hair, I use a dried dried using a Shark Flexfusion Blob-Dry Brush Attachment, a spray Thermal keeper (GHD recommends such), and Kronos has passed one in each category with Max. I’ve repeated this process several times. My locks were straightened, though my high-opaque ceramic equipment is no more nearby nearby Paul Mitchell style+ or smooth+Leave a titanium tool like it SourceThe I imagine if my hair is really quail then it is liked 4 A Or above, the chronos will be a perfect no-go. Max worked amazingly for the daily touch-ups, and as a result was more noticeably more shining over time, whether it was through the “Ultra Gloss” completion of the plate or was just a general lack of damage.

But what will happen to these huge plates? Some straight iron users move away from the highest plates as they are, because if you are the one you like to add a stranger-stretting wave and curl, they are more difficult to traditionally. Kirkland mentions that Max’s plates are sitting near the edge of the clamps because the iron can still be used as a multi-equipment despite the width. I tried it, and my straight iron curl game is not the most powerful, but I have no problem with Max against 1 inch iron.

All in all, if it does not leave my coarse curls smooth like hot straight iron, Cronos Max is still a competitive for simple-to-manage hair and/or those who want to reduce damage. Just don’t expect it to do a miracle, though you can be forgiven for any expectations for the price.
