ghdIV Styler

Amazing hair styling product!I bought these GHD's back in September 2009 (So amazon just reminded me when i clicked on the page - has it really been that long!?) and mine still work perfectly. Okay they have some obvious wear and tear on them, but for the first few years i was literally using them every day!They work perfectly for straightening, curling, waving everything! I used to have shortish hair (bob style) so i bought the thin ones as they were easier to style with, but since my hair has grown out i could probably get away with the wider plated ones, but i would still buy these. I use them for curling my hair a few times a year for special occasions, or just lightly trying to straighten my hair to reduce the frizz, or for fully straightening my hair. I also have some hair extention clip in's and these work amazingly on those without ruining them!They may seem like a lot of money to fork out in one go, but at the price they are currently, i am extremely tempted to buy myself a new pair even though mine still work, knowing i have already had 6 years out of them and can no doubt get a fair bit more wear out of them, which is surprising considering mine have accidentally gotten wet on the occasion when drinks were spilt (oops!). For this i would scrap spending £10-30 on a cheap pair of hair straigteners that you will no doubt need to replace every 6months to a year, and go with these which last a very long time!There are so many tutorials online on youtube etc to help you with how to use these straighteners for hair curling, to save you forking out on a curling tong as well! They make beautiful tight ringlets or big bold waves and everything in between!I would never try any other brand of hair straightener. My cousin who is a hair dresser also swears by them, as do most of the other females in my family who style their hair.

great product

The price was really low for a top Brand would recommend

I'm very late in reviewing these but... 9 years on that are still going strong and work as well today as they did when I first got them!

I persuaded my wife to buy the supposed best rather than taking a cheaper option. She previously had a Babyliss.I know little about hair straightening issues, as I am totally bald myself, but am able to observe the workings of a product and get feedback from my wife.The product is well made and seems robust. The main difference between this and the Babyliss straightener was the thickness of the ceramic plates and the additional heat this straightener creates compared to the Babyliss. You will like this if you need it to get very hot to really straighten your hair although you will probably have to use a heat protection spray on your hair.At first I think my wife was a little underwhelmed and at first I wondered if it had been worth spending almost twice as much on this product as the Babyliss. However, it is definitely the case that my wife has come to appreciate the additional quality of these straighteners over the Babyliss ones with continues use. If they last a good few years I suspect she will want another pair.A couple of things- the power light flashes on them. At first my wife thought it was defective but it is not- I presume (without reading the instructions) it is designed to catch the eye so you do not leave them on- a good idea.However, if you do leave them on, they eventually turn themselves off.Also they have built in multi voltage transformer, so when you take them to a country like the US, with lower power voltage, they will still heat up to the same level.I think you often get what you pay for, and these seem to fit into that category.

The ghd IV Styler promised me salon-worthy hair at home, and let me tell you—it delivered… and then some. Before this miracle tool, my hair looked like it had survived a tornado, a squirrel party, and a mild existential crisis. Now? It looks like I just stepped off a runway… or at least from a very fancy coffee shop.First off, this thing heats up faster than I can say “bad hair day.” I blinked, and suddenly it was ready to turn my wild mane into silky perfection. It’s like the hair version of a superhero—saving me from frizz and split ends one strand at a time.The plates glide so smoothly, I half expected it to start singing “Let It Go.” It’s so gentle I could probably style a puppy’s fur with it (not that I tried, don’t judge me). And the shine it gives? I’m pretty sure my hair is reflecting so much light it’s helping me save on electricity bills.Warning: Side effects may include excessive hair flipping, increased selfies, and spontaneous compliments from strangers. Also, your friends might ask if you secretly have a glam squad.If you’re debating—stop. Buy it. Your hair will thank you, and you’ll feel like the undisputed queen or king of style.

I have always been a bit scared of these type of hair implements because they get very hot and I'd heard of people burning themselves. I bought this styler two months ago after reading the reviews and I am beginning to wish I had purchased one earlier. I decided to trial it for a couple of months to ensure a fair review. I must admit that initially I was very tentative in using it and a couple of times I caught my free hand on the edge when trying to use it to create curls. However, I bought one of those silicone oven gloves from a well known high street cheap shop and now there is no stopping me. I put the glove on my left hand when I need to help guide the heated end of the styler and I find the whole process is so much easier and quicker than using tongs. It heats up in next to no time and I can have my whole head done in less than a quarter of the time that it took before. Also the results are better. I keep it on my dressing table on a heatproof mat so that it's always available. Great!

really good quality product last a lot off years
