ghd (Good Hair Day) is a world-renowned professional hair care brand specializing in high-end heat styling tools. Founded in Leeds, United Kingdom, in 2001, the brand revolutionized the hair styling market with the introduction of the first ghd ceramic hair straightener, which became an instant cult favorite among stylists and consumers alike.

Over the years, the brand's ownership has transitioned through several private equity firms before being acquired by Coty Inc. in 2016. In 2020, KKR acquired a majority stake in Coty's professional and retail hair business, forming a standalone company called Wella Company. Today, ghd operates as an independent brand under the Wella Company umbrella. While the brand remains headquartered and designed in the United Kingdom, the manufacturing of its electronic components and assembly primarily takes place in specialized facilities in China to satisfy global demand.
