GHD Speed Smoothing Wide – 88mm wide nozzle for long, thick hair

The ghd Speed Smoothing Wide is a professional 88mm wide nozzle designed for the ghd Speed ionic hair dryer. Specifically designed for long and thick hair, it offers 36% more air coverage and 3 times better hair alignment compared to use without an attachment, ensuring smooth, flawless styles with a salon finish.

Who it's for

This nozzle is ideal if you have long, thick, or voluminous hair and are looking for a smooth, controlled style in less time. The 88mm width allows for coverage of larger sections compared to standard nozzles, making it perfect for those with a lot of hair to manage. It also works well on wavy or slightly curly hair that you want to straighten without using a flat iron. Developed for professional use in salons, it's also designed for those who want salon-quality results at home.

What it actually does

36% more air coverage: The 88mm Halo outlet covers larger sections of hair in a single pass, reducing drying and styling time.

3x better hair alignment: The wide and even airflow aligns cuticles more effectively, creating a smooth and shiny effect without the need for additional tools.

Professional smooth finish: Flawless, salon-like results, with perfectly aligned and frizz-free hair.

Reduced styling time: Thanks to greater coverage, you can complete your style in less time compared to a standard nozzle.

Volume control: Ideal for taming voluminous or unruly hair, maintaining softness and natural movement.

How to use it

Insert the Speed Smoothing Wide nozzle onto the ghd Speed hair dryer until it clicks into place. After towel-drying your hair, apply a heat protectant if you use one regularly. Divide your hair into manageable sections. Direct the airflow from top to bottom, following the direction of hair growth to maximize cuticle alignment. Keep the nozzle about 15-20 cm away from your hair. For an extra-smooth result, accompany the drying with a flat brush or paddle brush. Work section by section until fully dry. Finally, remove the nozzle only after turning off and allowing the hair dryer to cool down.

What to expect

After use, hair appears visibly smoother, shinier, and frizz-free. The finish is uniform and professional-looking, with perfectly aligned cuticles that reflect light naturally. Hair maintains softness and movement, without the "flattened" effect typical of some straight styles. The style lasts longer compared to drying without a nozzle, thanks to better cuticle alignment. Styling time is significantly reduced, especially if you have long or very thick hair.

Technology and design

The Speed Smoothing Wide nozzle features an aerodynamic design engineered to optimize the airflow generated by the ghd Speed hair dryer's ionic technology. The 88mm Halo shape is designed to distribute the airflow evenly over large sections of hair, allowing for optimal directional control without dispersing heat. The quick-release attachment system ensures stability during use and easy removal. The heat-resistant material keeps the external temperature of the nozzle manageable even after prolonged use, protecting your hands during styling.

Difference from other ghd Speed nozzles

Compared to the Speed Shaping Halo 65mm nozzle, this 88mm Wide model offers greater coverage and is specifically designed for long and thick hair. The 65mm nozzle is more suitable for precision styling and root volume, while the 88mm Wide is optimal for smooth styles on large amounts of hair. If you have curly hair and want to keep it defined, we recommend the ghd Speed diffuser instead.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Speed Smoothing Wide nozzle compatible with other hair dryers?

No, this nozzle is designed exclusively for the ghd Speed ionic hair dryer. The attachment system and dimensions are specific to this model and are not compatible with other hair dryers, even from ghd.

Can I use the Wide nozzle for short hair too?

Yes, you can also use it on short hair, but it was designed to optimize time on long and thick hair. If you have short or medium hair, you might find the 65mm nozzle more practical, as it offers greater precision on smaller sections.

Does the Wide nozzle reduce the hair dryer's power?

No, the nozzle does not reduce power but distributes the airflow over a larger surface. This means that the air is directed evenly, increasing styling effectiveness without compromising drying speed.

How do I clean the Speed Smoothing Wide nozzle?

Remove the nozzle from the hair dryer when it is completely cool. Clean with a damp cloth to remove styling product residue or dust. Do not immerse in water and do not use aggressive detergents. Allow to dry completely before reattaching to the hair dryer.

Do I need to use a heat protectant with this nozzle?

Using a heat protectant is always recommended when using heat tools, regardless of the nozzle. Heat protectant helps preserve hair health and maintain styling results longer, especially if you dry your hair frequently.
