Perfect for thick hair
I've been using this product for more than 2 years now. The wide plates make it very easy for straightening thick hair and the ceramic plates make it a 'healthier' option for your hair.
I use it for curling my hair too and it's super easy.
Heats up quickly and maintains it's temperature. Also has a handy alert function for when you've left in on unattended.

Pricey but it does the job
Quite happy with the results, although it is quite pricey. It is easy to use, basically plug and let it heat up, which might I add heats up quite fast. Sometimes however if my hair is frizzy it can snag but other than that it is good

Amazing
I love my GHD! I have a limited Christmas edition platinum styler, and my V gold max. My V Gold max heats superbly and in no time of course. I love how GHD have the feature of the styler switching itself off when left on but inactive also. These stylers straighten AND curl amazingly. I would only ever buy GHD for my hair!

Incredibly disappointed with (faulty) product and lack of assistance provided
I purchased a Max Styler 18 months ago before the styler stopped working (one plate would no longer heat up).
Upon contacting GHD, I was offered/and received a replacement styler which was also faulty (the styler would only heat up when the cord was placed in a certain position).
I was then provided with another replacement which I have also experienced the same fault with.
Given the products (x3) are within the 24 month warranty period I have now asked GHD for a full refund. However, the company have stated that I am only entitled to ...Read more
a 'partial refund' as it's beyond 12 months (albeit the warranty period is 24 months). I was advised this is due to ACCC regulations. However, when I asked for details of these regulations/or legislation I was simply sent a link to the ACCC website and told that no more detail could be provided. I was also offered a styler of my choice in 'retail packaging' with the advice that I could take this and sell the product for an amount closer to the RRP. This is incredibly unsatisfactory and I am very disappointed with the product and service received, especially considering this product is within the warranty period. I will be making a formal complaint to NSW Fair Trading.1 comment

Can't live without
I have extremely thick wavy hair and ghd has been my saviour in that department. I have long hair and it hasn't changed the condition although i have cut back to twice a week. I bought my first ghd over 10 years ago and used it everyday then and always got compliments on how healthy and shiny my hair was. I can't imagine not using ghd..

Not as good as the old original.
Not happy, didn't realise they'd changed manufacturers. I usually read reviews but because I was happy with the brand before I made a spur of the moment purchase during a sale.This one takes alot longer to generate the same heat in the hair and doesn't get the same result. Will be repairing my old one and have wasted my money unless I can sell it.

LOVE THIS
This is my 2nd GHD - my first one broke after dropping it on the floor a million times. I could not live without my GHD, I love it and use it daily.
Do Not get a cheap hair straightener, you will regret it and eventually buy a GHD.

Top quality as aways.
Hair has never looked so straight and healthy due to these wider plates. So happy with them. My only worry is that I may have registered my GHDs under the wrong styler but I assume putting in the codes requested will identify the correct product should I ever have to contact.

Disappointed
As a devout use of ghd for over 10 years I wasn't put off the mixed reviews I read but having replaced my straighteners with the max styler (3rd time) I am disappointed. The plates are smoother on the hair but the final product does not give you that super sleek finish, yes it is straight but my hair just seems a bit fluffy/frizzy when it didn't before - not really sure why, plates not as hot perhaps?? Think their competitors are getting better and considering the cost of them it might be time to try a new brand next time .

Ex-lover
Since 2004 I have owned 4 separate GHDs, some gifts and some I have bought myself. I have an unhealthy obsession with straightening my hair and do it every day and take very good care of my straightners. When each of these straightners have stopped working it has therefore been very upsetting and I've quickly rung GHD only to find they're just out of warranty. The first I had an electrician replace the cord, the second one of the plates stopped heating up and the last two simply would not turn on. Foolishly I've then quickly replaced my GHD. I won't be making the same mistake again.

Useless if it won't heat up!
Bought this straightener at the end of December last year as I wanted one with wide plates (have a narrow plate GHD that's about 6 years old which still works great).
Have only used this once a fortnight to straighten my daughters hair and already not heating up with light flashing and continuous beeping.
Have read online about this being a problem so figure this is useless as it's unreliable, especially going into the colder season it appears it will never be able to heat up!
Not happy at all - big waste of money and probably should have bo...Read more

Second one to do this and will be the last. No more GHD inferior products. For something that is supposed to be the best it falls short by a long shot. Very disappointing.

Not for fine hair!
I bought this straightener because GHD is so famous for being the best. I chose the latest model at the time (V gold series) wide plate model (V gold max). I did a lot of reaserch before buying it and i found out that the new generation of ghd is not the same quality as the original and the manufacturers have changed, but i took the risk and i bought it. It gets very hot and it burns my hair. It smells like burned, the ends become split and break off, the hair looks frizzy and not soft. It does straighten pin-straight and it lasts but the hair ...Read more
doesn't look healthy. Maybe the wide plates are too much for my fine bleached hair and that's why it burnes it. Even tho i use moroccan oil treatment (which makes my hair look great and feel super soft), the moment i put the ghd in my hair it becomes dry. I used it on a friend with coarse hair and it gives better results but for my hair it's not working. I've tried everything: run it slow, fast, big sections, small sections, heat protection, moroccaniol before-during-after. It still burns my ends off and looks cheap all over. I will give it 3 stars because it is making even coarse hair pin-straight, but it doesn't give gloss and movement.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Love my ghd
My husband surprised me recently with a ghd. Ive never owned one before & im just loving it! I've got thick hair and what would normally take me 30 mins to straighten with my old straightener takes me about 7 mins with the ghd. Thank you love this product!

Questions & Answers
MAYAasked
How do i chose between the v gold max and a v gold classic?? i am totally lost !! please help my hair's length just about reaches my shoulders so it is not very long but not very short either,, its very thick also,, but i saw that the original gold has two censors where the max only has one and im afraid i wont be able to curl my hair so easily with the max but i dont wanna spent hours straitening my hair with the original if it could have taken me half the time with the max PLEASSSE HELP
3 answers
Hmm good question, I’m not sure really.. I have never been able to curl my hair with a straightener one thing I really struggle with. Personally I think they would both work fine for straigtening thick hair. Can you go to a shop to try both maybe?
Hi maya, I use the ghd for curling my hair too which is super convenient. My hair is long and thin but I still don’t think it would take you too long to straighten. I think the flexibility or curl/straighten with the same appliance is the way to go :)

Hi Maya,
The ghd Max styler is our only styler to feature wide (2 inch) plates. This can be particularly useful if you have either a lot of hair or hair that is particularly curly as it designed to make styling quicker and easier.
The ghd V gold was replaced in early 2018 by the ghd gold styler. The gold features our standard 1 inch plates and is our first styler to feature dual zone technology. This means that there is one heat sensor on each plate which helps to maintain a constant and even temperature as you style your hair.
To view a full overview of our various stylers and a comparison of their features, please consult the following link: https://www.ghdhair.com/au/ghd-range-hub/hair-straightener-range

Hi, i bought my ghd straighteners from my local hairdressers 10 months ago and they've become faulty. I looked on website to return and you need proof of receipt. Which I don't have due to not been given one. I went back to hairdressers and they said they don't give receipts when they sell them. Where do I stand?
