GHD is a brand of hair straightener, and the company claims it's not just the best--GHD hair care products are "a new religion for hair." GHD ads even use the tagline, "Thou shalt convert."
GHD products are considered higher-end, and the hair straighteners generally cost more than $200 and sometimes closer to $300. These devices are considered very professional; their users often regard them as important aesthetic tools and want to carry them along on trips and vacations.
Electrical devices for personal care are allowed in checked luggage. This includes GHD or any brand of hair straightener. TSA regulations do not prohibit hair straighteners in either carry-on or checked luggage; however, some airlines have restrictions on electrical devices as carry-on items. Checked luggage is almost always the safer bet for getting an item in question to your destination.
Before traveling, it's always smart to check your airline's rules on checked baggage to see if there are any additional fees, as well as any weight or content restrictions the airline may impose.
For those who practice the GHD religion thoroughly, you may wonder about other products like thermal protectors, styling brushes and sprays. According to TSA guidelines, your sprays are allowed in your checked luggage so long as they are not flammable aerosols. Most GHD products are in pump form, which is perfectly fine.
However, these same sprays that are fine for checked luggage may not be OK for carry-on. Rules for liquids in carry-on luggage allow for bottles of no more than 3 ounces, and all liquid product bottles must fit in a single one-quart resealable clear plastic bag.
