Perfect for thick hair

published

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

published

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

published

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!

Can't live without

published

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.

published

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

published

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.

published

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

published

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.

I've run customer service and was told because it's not in warranty that nothing can be done. If you have a way to help I'd love to hear it. I did love my GHD.

Stopped working??

published

I have purchased 3 of these bloody things for my wife and now her Gold Metallic one just stopped working?
I have contacted supplier but it may be out of the warranty period how unusual.
Its only about 2 years old and never dropped or damaged. Worked yesterday but today nothing.

That would be nice but it is out of the 2 year range of course. 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.

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 :)

Customer C.ghd

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?
