The GHD brand has pretty much sky rocketed since it was first launched a decade ago. Standing for 'Good Hair Design', it's now the best known brand of hair straightener and is almost certainly the cause of most of the poker straight hair styles we see today. Celebrities endorse it, the public love it, but for nearly 5 times the price of a regular pair of straighteners, is it worth it? GHD straighteners come in many different styles and sizes, from the mini styler to the salon styler (with the widest plates of all, great for thick and long hair). Not only do they come in different sizes, but periodically GHD creates and releases new designs; currently you can ...  Read the complete review

I can't live without my hair straighteners. I wish it wasn't the case but it's true. I would go as far as to say they would be my desert island luxury, if there wasn't the issue over where I would plug them in. I have been through numerous straighteners since I first started straightening my hair about 14 years ago. I was in sixth form when I bought my first straighteners. They would appear prehistoric now. It was before salons even had straighteners. You had to fill a little plastic container up with water and attach it to the top of the straighteners. The steam must have been aimed at helping smooth the hair follicles but thinking back those straighteners ...  Read the complete review

I have two pairs of hair straighteners that I like to switch between but my GHD IV Salon Styler is the one I use mostly for doing my hair before a night out. I spent a lot of money on these but after having seen the results with the hairdresser using them, I just had to save up the money to get them myself as the results seemed that good. I think GHD have a good reputation but I think a lot of brands that are cheaper have now come out with similar items that it doesn't make them so desirable anymore, however I still love mine. APPEARANCE These hair straighteners have a really sleek design, they are all black and have a wider head than other ...  Read the complete review

I have been using hair straighteners for years, as a teenager poker straight hair was the only way to style your hair. Almost every Christmas I would ask my parents for a new pair of hair straighteners always seeking the product that created the straightest style. Around 5 years ago I decided because I was no longer at an age where I could depend on my parents to purchase hair straighteners and decided to purchase myself a pair of GHD's because although expensive every hairdresser I spoke to recommended them as an essential investment. After 5 years of GHD's (the GHD IV styler) I decided although the product I had was fully functional and I was satisfied with the ...  Read the complete review

Although expensive I consider that GHD's are well worth the investment. I managed to get mine from a hairdresser retailing on ebay which took the overall price (once posting and packaging had been paid) to under the one hundred pound mark. I have long, thick, frizzy and wavy hair and even without blow drying first, got amazing results. I got my very first pair of GHD's a few years ago and opted for the more popular thin styler which also gives me great results. To get the results with this styler however I need to section my hair which takes at least 30 minutes. With the IV styler I don't even need to section my hair and straightening (after ...  Read the complete review
