Sugar Rush! Sweet Strands Ahead With GHD’s Jelly Collection

Candy-coloured beauty launches are having a moment. And, GHD just proved just how chic, sweet can be! The brand’s newest limited-edition drop, the GHD Jelly Collection, has arrived. And, even if you’re on a diet, you’re going to want to indulge in this deliciously stylish lineup.

Inspired by glossy, candy-like hues, the AW26 Jelly Collection takes GHD’s hero tools and dresses them in sugar-coated shades. Think sun-kissed peach, jelly mint, candy coral, sugar pink and glazed blue – each one glossy, lacquered, and effortlessly modern. The result is hair tools that are as pretty on your vanity as they are in your hand.

But GHD isn’t embracing colour purely for aesthetics. The pastel palette taps into a broader beauty trend right now – tools and accessories that feel as considered as the rest of your routine. Think pink musk coloured lip glosses, glossy peach masks and skin care fridges in sorbet shades. The beauty products and styling tools we once hid in drawers are increasingly becoming part of the vanity display.

Leading the lineup is the GHD duet blowdry in Sunkissed Peach, a multi-tasking tool designed to take hair from wet to blow-dried in a single step. It delivers the kind of soft, glossy blowout usually associated with a round brush and a good dose of patience, only faster and with noticeably more volume. In peach, it also happens to look like summer sitting on your bathroom counter.

Next comes the GHD chronos styler, also in Sunkissed Peach. Already popular among stylists for its speed and consistency, the tool uses motion-responsive technology to maintain even heat as you move through the hair. The result is sleek, glossy strands achieved in fewer passes – exactly the kind of efficiency that busy mornings call for.

For long, thick or curly hair, the GHD chronos max in Jelly Mint may well be the quiet hero of the collection. Its plates are noticeably larger than the original chronos, meaning bigger sections can be styled at once. Straightening takes less time, while soft waves and bends come together with far less effort.

Then there’s the playful newcomer: the chronos curve max wand in Candy Coral. The glossy coral barrel creates loose, modern waves that feel more relaxed than overly polished – the kind of texture that works just as well for a long brunch as it does for evening drinks.

Rounding out the lineup is the GHD gold styler in Jelly Mint, the brand’s well-known flat iron reimagined in a fresh pastel shade. It uses dual-zone technology to maintain consistent heat across the plates, smoothing hair while adding that subtle glossy finish.

Each tool comes with a matching heat-resistant case, making the collection feel as practical as it is pretty. But what makes the drop particularly timely is how neatly it aligns with the broader shift toward beauty tools that feel more playful and personal. In an era where even our airfyers are colour-coordinated with our kitchens, the Jelly Collection proves that functionality and aesthetics no longer have to compete.

Consider it a grown-up sugar rush. But this one comes with perfect hair.
