Advantages: Perfect styler for curly and straight hair

Disadvantages: Many fakes on the market

I had these GHD hair straighters for my birthday in September, they came as a nice gift box set including a lip gloss set, instructional DVDs and instruction booklets.

I previously didn't really know what all the fuss was about as my older hair straighter (not GHD) were fine and straightened my hair pretty well.

I now know what the fuss was about. It takes me half the time to straighten my hair, they glide smoothly through my hair and I seem to have a much better shiny straight frizz free results. There is no singing smell coming from my hair either which I had with my previous straigtners.

Since using these I would never use any other straighter on my hair.

The lip gloss which comes in this set is of very good quality and long lasting, the three colours are very nice shades of pink too with added sparkle in one of them. They all come in a small little case with a mirror, perfect for my handbag.

Not only do I straighten my hair with them, but I also curl it too. It took a little getting used to and some very funny outcomes before I got it right, however the instructional DVD which also comes with the gift set gives you step by step guidance for both straightening and curling which are very easy to follow and understand.

There is a safety function fitted within the straighter which shuts them down after half an hour of non use, which is ideal for me as I am one of those people who have the horrible thought after being out for 10 mins of thinking, oh no did I turn off my straigtners?

It also stated on my pack that £10 from the sale of these particular models would be donated to the charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer!

My mother informed me they cost £130, which is very expensive for hair straighter, however when my hair is styled using these I feel like a million dollars, they are also very well made and will hopefully last me a good few years, so I would say they are a good investment!

One thing I will add though is beware of fakes! The first pair I received were in fact fake; I only found this out when I tried to register them on the GHD website. Although they looked the same and seemed to work just as well, I believe they may be dangerous and the person, who bought them for me, was unable to return them for a refund, therefore left out of pocket.
By researching on the GHD website I have realised that there are many fakes out there so beware!

I am unsure if this edition is still available, however the model IV is the same as many still on the market.

Summary: A fantastic product I will never buy any other hair straightner again
