Not impressed

Verified Purchase
I wasn’t impressed with the quality of the product or the results when styling my hair. I still have my original straighteners from 2005 and the overall quality and performance has sadly gone down drastically in the last 21 years it seems.

Birthday treat

Bought the straighteners a couple of weeks ago. Having had a very old set of straighteners I was keen to see and use this new item. Having now used them I would certainly recommend them. I have very thick hair and they just glide down your hair straightening on one pass. The straighteners themselves are easy to use and not heavy in your hand. Really pleased with them and I think you will be too.

Fab product - is exactly what I needed since the pair of standard GHDs I had for over 20 years final came to the end of their life! Really glad I got the wide plates as it speeds up my styling time massively.
