Not the usual GHD standard

Verified Purchase
I recently purchased the GHD Max Wide plate hair straighteners to replace my existing GHD Wide straighteners that have served me amazingly well for almost 10yrs! However upon receiving and trying out the straighteners, I am so disappointed as they do not straighten or style my hair to the same level as my old GHD’s. I tried the straighteners for a second time to hopefully change my mind and I am so upset and disappointed that they do not live up to the usual GHD standard. I am so gutted considering they are not a cheap purchase. I have quite thick, long and wavy hair however the new straighteners seemed to take twice as long to actually straighten my hair. I’m really apprehensive about this as it would take at least 3 attempts to go over my hair to actually straighten, rather than essentially be “wavy straight”, which is only adding to damage and having to pull through my hair rather than smoothly glide. A really disappointment and such a shame having being an avid GHD fan for so many years 😞

Great for think and long hair

Verified Purchase
I have long thick hair and this size blade is perfect for me. I love how quick this heats up and long cord is very useful, The only thing I am not sure about it , is that my hair becomes very static after each use and I haven’t found a product to use to reduce it.
