Ghd Pink CollectionIt’s been 17 years since Ghd first unveiled its annual limited-edition pink collection in support of breast cancer charities, and this year’s Take Control Now campaign implores women to self-check for signs of breast cancer every single month.
To share this important message, Ghd has appointed eight muses four young women who have never self-checked to read the stories of four people affected by breast cancer in the hopes that it will inspire them (and others) to begin checking their breasts on a regular basis.
The 2021 limited-edition Ghd pink collection includes the Ghd Platinum+ Styler, $400, Ghd Gold Styler, $340, and Ghd Helios Professional Hairdryer, $340, which sees the three tools reimagined in a rose-pink hue with metallic pink accents and the central campaign message "Take Control Now" emblazoned on the front. Available from selected salons and premium retailers, or online at Ghdhair.com/nz
