Owned by Jemella Group, the company was founded in 2001, by three Yorkshire based entrepreneurs (Martin Penny, Gary Douglas and Robert Powls) who were popularly hailed as, holding the secret of Victoria Beckham's ever-straight tresses.

Soon GHD became a 'must have' in hair fashion, revolutionizing the hair industry both in Europe and across the globe.

GHD had been described as "one of the most successful hair products in history" by the Yorkshire Post.


GHD brand's notability is demonstrated by an interesting fact that in February 2007, a rash of thefts targeted GHD hair straighteners at hair salons in the UK.
