This ghd Helios gift set bundles the 2,200 W dryer with two extras: the ghd professional diffuser and a size 2 ceramic radial brush. It is aimed at people who want the Helios for its drying power but also need to diffuse curls or create volume with a round brush. The bundle makes the Helios far more flexible than the single-nozzle version.

In its favour
- A ghd professional diffuser comes in the set alongside the dryer.
- At 2,200 W it has the highest wattage here, useful for thick hair that holds water.
- The ceramic radial brush adds a blow-dry option for stretched styles.
Good to know
- No comb attachment is listed, and coily hair is not named.
- The specs list two settings, fewer than the Dyson or Shark dryers.
Our take
What the bundle adds
The ghd professional diffuser turns the Helios into a tool for defining curls and waves. The ceramic radial brush, size 2, is pitched at short to mid-length hair; ghd says its ceramic barrel heats up quickly for a speedy blow-dry while building volume and movement.
The listing describes this as an Amazon exclusive gift set with the dryer in white.
The dryer itself
The Helios is rated at 2,200 W and described as lightweight with fast, powerful drying and smooth, shiny results. The spec table lists two speeds and two settings, and a 750 g weight, though other Helios listings describe three power and temperature modes. Treat the settings count here as uncertain.
Motor speed, airflow and cable length are not given on this particular listing.
Which hair it suits
ghd lists curly, fine, normal, straight and thick hair. In practice, the diffuser serves curly and wavy hair, and the size 2 radial brush suits shorter cuts that need lift. Very long hair may want a larger round brush, which is not in this set. Because the brush is ceramic and warms through, it suits a classic round-brush blow-dry where you roll sections for bounce. The diffuser, by contrast, is a hands-off tool for scrunching curls dry. Having both means one dryer can cover very different routines in a shared household.
Gift set against Dyson and Panasonic
The Dyson Supersonic r Curly+Coily includes a diffuser and wide tooth comb in a smaller format at 1,700 W. The Panasonic EH-NA9N lists 500 g, a diffuser and nanoe care, for people who prefer a lighter body. The Helios set is the higher wattage choice and the only one here with a round brush in the box.
Verdict
Buy this ghd Helios gift set if you want a powerful 2,200 W dryer plus a diffuser and a round brush for short to mid-length hair. If lower weight or textured-hair tools matter more, the Dyson Supersonic r Curly+Coily or the Panasonic EH-NA9N are the alternatives to weigh up.
