Not sure as good as they used to be

Verified Purchase
I have always had GHD's and have always sworn they are the best for quality and the fact I have each pair for years with daily use, so good value for money. Unfortunately I just do not feel the same about my recent purchase; has something changed? They do not feel as hot and it takes much longer to straighten my hair now. Just not sure they are too indifferent to my daughters much cheaper branded pair. They will be kept but may look for alternatives next time.

Quality very disappointing

Verified Purchase
I had Original GHD's for the last 10 years. They were fantastic and when they finally gave up I had no hesitation in buying what I thought were a replacement set. The new straighteners with the same name are far inferior in quality, are more difficult to use as they do not clamp securely and shouldn't be marketed as the same product. I want to return them but having used them I presume I cannot. Very disappointed as they were not cheap.

Mixed feelings

Verified Purchase
My last purchase of the GHD original iron was probably about 25 years ago and it lasted me over 10 years. It felt solid and a bit heavy compared to my purchase now. It feels like it is a bit more inferior quality now. Kind Regards
