Goodbye wavy hair!

Advantages: Fantastic for those of us with thick hair
Disadvantages: Can damage hair if overused

...I have always had very thick, wavy hair. I've been told by many a girl that I'm so lucky, that they'd kill to have hair like me, but personally I've always found it a bit of a pain. Drying my hair takes forever, as does styling, and if there is a single drop of humidity in the air, hours of hard work can quickly turn into a frizzy, wavy mess. Last September I decided enough was enough. Over the years I've gone through numerous brands of hair straighteners, each promising miraculous results, but I've always been left feeling disappointed. And so I took the plunge and splashed out on these GHD Salon-strength straighteners, as the description said that this particular model was specifically designed for thick hair. I tried them as soon as they arrived and I was absolutely amazed at the results. My long, thick hair was transformed into...

Review of Ghd Salon Hair Straighteners & Styler Large

A Very Very Good Hair Day!

Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women
Disadvantages: None

...After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair. When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well. After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners. They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

Great for short thin hair

Advantages: Heat very quickly
Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair

...I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair ....

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

GHD - A 'Good Hair Day'

Advantages: Heats up quick
Disadvantages: Expensive

...GHD are the best straightners on the market, GHD actually stands for 'Good hair day' which is exactly what they give you.....every time. Near enough every hair salon uses them and they can be bought from most of them and also the GHD website. There are a range of different types of GHD straightners for different styles, both for girls and boys. They Take only a short 20 seconds to heat up to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees, they also have a little red led which lets you know exactly when there done once its stopped flashing. Meaning you only have to go over one section of your hair once unlike many other straightners on the market. Straightening can be annoying when the cord keeps getting caught or tangled, but it?s not going too happen with the 360 degree swivel cord GHDs have. This makes it easier to move around your head...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

Advantages: Quick to heat up, Excellent results, Easy to use, Time-saving
Disadvantages: Cost, Extremely hot, Only one setting

...I've had these hair straighteners for roughly six months now and have used them probably every day since I was given them, so I feel fairly qualified to give my opinion: that I really can't recommend them highly enough!! The quality of GHDs is unbeatable - I've used a lot of hair straighteners in my time, and I've got to say that they really do give consistently good results. They heat up in roughly fifteen seconds, and you can straighten hair very quickly in a rush with a fairly good finish - which as you can imagine saves huge amounts of time in the mornings! Generally, unless your hair is remarkably stubborn, the hair will also stay straight for the duration of the day. It's also worth noting that they're pretty versatile, and as my hairdresser demonstrated a few days ago, it's quite easy to get nice curls using these hair...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Sexy Shiny Hair With A Pink And Girly Twist!

Advantages: They Are Pink, Heat Detector, Heat Indicator, Easy To Use, Curls Too, Value For Money
Disadvantages: Frequent Use Damages Hair

...wavy and square effect, which looks less formal and more choppy that when you use curling irons. This however is quite a complex skill to master and I suggest you ask your hairdresser to teach you how to do it because that is what I had to do! Now obviously using such an intense heat on your hair isn't going to be doing it any favours but GHD also have this covered. You can purchase all sorts of products designed for use with their straightners such as heat protection spray and shampoos and conditioners. GHD's website (www.ghdhair.com) allows you to purchase individual products or complete bundles along with straightners and often because you are buying direct this means that you are saving money compared to buying from other retailers. In general I love all of the GHD range. I have used the wide plated straightners, the original ones...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

GHD, makes a bad hair day a good hair day

Advantages: Temperature, quick warm up
Disadvantages: None

...These straighteners are the best hair straighteners I have ever used, they heat up in about 10 seconds, beep when they're ready to use and then if you forget to turn them off they switch themselves off which is great if you're like me and have often come home to find my bed covers completely singed. They're very hot which although on the one hand is good because they work really well for every type of hairstyle you can ever want to do, straighten, curl, volumise etc. However, if you don't use a comb when straightening your hair you can quite often burn your fingers on your hair. GHD really do offer quality products as a general rule and I would never use any other straighteners. This is my 3rd pair of GHD's so really I have no complaints, however, my hot pink straighteners have had to be sent back to GHD on 2 different occasions...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

No more wavy hair

Advantages: Gets hot fast, smooth running through hair, straightens fast
Disadvantages: Can get too hot

...Background I've had my straighteners for almost a year and love them. I have very thick and wavy hair and thought that straighteners would help to tame and keep it more in control so did it work? I brought mind from Boots and they were about £25 which I thought were middle priced, the heat factor and the smoothness of the ceramic slabs made me go for these above the others within the price range. Colour / Look / Feel The straighteners are black with yellw ceramic plates. The cable is very long and I thought it was longer than most hair appliaces so this was an added bonus. They are light and so easy to manage and use with one hand without your arm feeling like its dropping off. Heat Almost as soon as you plug them in you can start using them - the speed of heating up is very fast. Whats in the box They come in a box...

Review of Remington CS3000 Ceramic Hair Straightener

GHD Styler - hair straighteners that save time and effort!

Advantages: heats up quickly! straightens, curls and creates waves! turns off automatically if left on!!
Disadvantages: can't straighten when hair is wet

...I have always been sceptical when it comes to buying an item that ?everyone has/wants?; which is why when it came to the time to decide what to buy to straighten my hair, I was hesitant to select one from the GHD range. Their obviously higher prices seemed to be more for a one of Christmas or birthday present, not something solely for vanity purposes! However, when I came to finally decide to buy this product, I was AMAZED. Truly, coming from someone who loves to do her hair all the time and takes pride in her appearance, this product certainly shaved off so much time from my daily routine. I can straighten and curl with it, which makes things so much easier. It?s great for the daytime look, and for the evening outs ? when you want to change your usual appearance. It heats up quickly, which makes it even more convenient. After it...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

GHD hot pink kiss hair stylers.. well worth every kiss!!

Advantages: styles your hair in so many ways.. curles, straight, waves and so much more
Disadvantages: are more expensive than other hair stylers

...GHD hair straightners are something i really could not live without. I have got the Limited edition IV Kiss ones and although the price is what seems redicuoulsly high at £135 they are worth every penny! I`ve had so many hair straightners in the past, cheep ones because i didnt want to spend that amount, i am now glad i did at last splash out on these!! They come in a box, roughly the size of a shoe box, in one side is the GHD stylers and on the side that lifts open there is a packet of 3 GHD lipglosses in a small little box which are also fabulous. There is an instruction manual and a book containing a list of all the other products available by the GHD company. The great thing I love about GHDs is that they come with a dvd of how to create different styles!! Although these are called hair "straightners" they are...
