I have very thick, curly and unruly hair which tends to be frizzy and fly away. It also looks dry and lacks a decent shine - unless I have been to a hairdresser. I usually wash and condition my hair and wait for it to nearly dry, then I put rollers in. This takes forever as I have a lot of hair. I sleep with the rollers in and sometimes in the morning, my hair is still damp. I have always been reluctant to use a hair dryer or straightener as I was afraid my hair would dry out even further. I was recently on holiday in South Africa, and my friend offered to style my hair after I had done the roller thing. I was a bit hesitant, but I thought if it didn't look good, I could just wet it and start again. Well, to say I was blown away, is an understatement. My hair was shiny and straight and there was no fizz or flyaway. We turned the ends in to give it a softer look. When I returned to the UK, the GHD wide plated straightener was on my bucket list, and luckily, I was just in time for the Black Friday sales. I tried it for the first time when I washed my hair this week, and I am very impressed. It looks like I have been to a salon, and my hair looks healthy and shiny. Would recommend it. Do your research first to find out what product meets your requirements!

My fave straighteners 🩷

Verified Purchase
I first bought this product a year ago (and got my name engraved for free)! My mum actually loved it so much too she kept stealing it from my room - so I repurchased them for her as a Christmas gift 🎁 I had an issue with delivery and the GHD team were kind enough to resolve this with no hassle! I have 2C/3A hair and these straighteners work a wonder!!

I am sure they will perform as promised

I bought them - hair straighteners- a few weeks ago, as a Christmas present. So so far, they have not been used by the recipient, so a review is not possible until after the big day. It is a shame that there is no way to reflect this... it was easy to order and delivery was really quick. If they perform as well as the last pair I purchased then I will be ecstatic, but my bald head is in no need of straighteners. I am only the purchaser..
