The short answer is no, the long answer is not at all! The ghd Rare styler is simply a limited edition ghd IV Styler with black gloss casing and gold ceramic plates. The differences are purely cosmetic and the Rare has exactly the same technical specification as the standard black ghd IV Styler.

Thrown in with the Rare styler is a free leopard skin heat protection pouch and a snap shut box, so it makes a great gift.
