Time for an Upgrade? ghd Will Give You Up to $150 Back

If you’ve been eyeing up a new ghd, it might finally be time to retire the straightener or curler that has been hanging around your bathroom for years.

ghd has brought back its Trade-In campaign for a third time, offering New Zealand customers up to $150 back when they upgrade to selected tools from the ghd chronos range. Better yet, the old tool you trade in doesn’t need to be a ghd.

Running until 15 September 2026, the campaign allows customers to send back a hair tool from any brand to be responsibly recycled through ghd’s recycling programme.

For the first time, the ghd chronos curve range has also joined the campaign, opening the offer up to those looking to upgrade their curling tools as well as their straighteners.

Customers purchasing a ghd chronos or ghd chronos max styler can receive a $150 refund, while purchasing any ghd chronos curve curler qualifies for a $100 refund.

The chronos collection is built around ghd’s advanced styling technology and the brand’s optimum styling temperature of 185°C. The tools are designed to create smoother, shinier and more polished results while avoiding the extreme temperatures that can contribute to heat damage.

For those with longer, thicker or curlier hair, the ghd chronos max features larger plates to style wider sections of hair at once. Meanwhile, the chronos curve range brings the technology to curling tools for creating curls and waves with enhanced shine and smoothness.
