At the high end of the straighteners market, GHD goes head to head with Cloud 9 (owned by one of the co-founders of GHD). Cloud 9's products are generally more expensive, thanks to the special “mineral-infused” plates they use. These plates claim to deliver the same styling potential as GHD's products but at lower temperatures. An LED panel also makes it simple to decide which temperature to use – something that GHD haven't introduced. In reality, this is a marginal consideration for everyday users, but salons are embracing Cloud 9 in a big way. For normal stylists, a price comparison at hotukdeals may be the best way to decide.
Which is the best hair straightening cream?
Lots of comments leave photographs of their voluminous hairdos in their reviews, as proof of this flat iron’s hair-raising power. This ringing endorsement more or less sums up Voloom’s appeal: “I really think that the inventor of this miracle tool should be made a saint, or have a town square named after them. If you have to sell your first born to purchase this device, do it.”
Sadly My GHD Straightener just died halfway through straightening my hair for a wedding. Although I have owned it for three years it is only used a couple of times a month, always kept in its protected pouch with the heat guard on, still looks new. I realise it is now out of warranty but surely for the price of the product the consumer has a right to expect a longer life expectancy, or are my expectations unrealistic? I have contacted GHD but have had no response so far. Very disappointed. This is my third GHD that has died. 23.9 Update on the above. Huge recommendation for GHD customer service in Australia. They did not hesitate to support me with my product issues. If you are having issues with your product give the team at GHD a call.
