Really true straightener ever!!
I have been looking to get this straightener for months and months. I finally got it and it is everything I expected and more. It's very light weight which is awesome if you have to get through a lot of hair like me. The curls you can achieve with this straightener are really awesome, look more shiner and healthier. I don't even need to have it at its highest temperature to achieve the results, which is great for me as I am always worried about hair damage.. Thank you Glampalm!!

Don't waste your money!!!
I bought these about 18 months or so ago after my classic GHDs started overheating. I was sucked in by how amazing they sounded and all the awesome reviews on their website (which I now suspect they seriously filter as there is no way every single person who tries a product loves it). I've tried really hard to like these straighteners especially after parting with a small chunk of my hard earned cash.
To be fair my hair is rather 'gnarly', strong, fuzzy and wavy these straighteners just couldn't handle it no matter how small a section I tri...Read more
ed to straighten at a time, then if there is so much as a drop of humidity in the air I may as well have not even bothered straightening in the first place. Even on a dry day I notice that my hair slowly starts to expand within a few hours of being 'straightened' and those wee bits by my temple never manage to be controlled. To top it off the GlamPalms burnt my hair!!! My hair dresser asked what I had been doing as it looked like the very ends of my hair had been burnt with a match (that was with using the GlamPlams at 160 degrees AND a heat protector). Because my hair is constantly fuzzy and unmanageable I've come to really hate it over the past year or so. In comparison at my last haircut my hairdresser used the GHD Platinum straighteners on me, holy moly what a difference!!!! My hair was smooth, shiny, sleek and straight for about 6 days until I washed it (I purposely held off washing it because I has actually enjoying my hair again) even when it rained in that time, a couple of those wee hairs by my temple lost the plot but for the most part control was maintained. The comparison with GHDs is like chalk and cheese, as soon as I get some GHDs these are going on TradeMe with a $1 reserve as that's about all they are worth, I would put GlamPalm on par with some cheap Remington's.

Better than the old GHD, not the new GHD
I was really skeptical of this as I had only had a GHD since 2004 and it has been absolutely amazing. But, old faithful was nearing her end, so decided to go with this one after hearing bad reviews about the new GHDs since they sold the company.
I am glad I took the plunge. It is seriously amazing. I use it everyday without fail, curling, creating waves and straightening it. I am lazy and do not always use heat protectant or anything else and my hair is in perfect condition. It straightens very quickly and the curls for me last all day if ...Read more
I use the correct heat setting for my hair (170 for curls 190 for straight). I have naturally wavy hair and I find my hair holds the curl and stays straight from morning until I shove it in a tight bun for bed- even in Thailand's humidity it held up! I purchased the original size, which I did think may be too small, but it is the same size as the GHD in medium. It has a bunch of heat settings, and I have never needed to use the hottest (200 degrees). If you are thinking about buying one, do it and you will not regret it. Tip: buy the heat proof case and their hair clips are amazing and so reasonably priced.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

BEST HAIR STRAIGHTENERS EVER!!!
Wow!!!! Thank you Glampalm for this innovative gift to women with frizzy dry hair, your hair straighteners have literally transformed my hair! I can't praise this enough- shiny, healthy, so soft and straightens and curls hair to perfection! My hair is back to how it used to be :) very happy! 100x better than GHD and MUK ir which ruined my hair. Glampalm really does help with the condition and with damage prevention, I have recommended this product to my friends and family who are still trying the find the best hair straighteners...

Absolutely amazing!
This hair straightner is incredible! So quick and easy to use. My hair is glossy and shiny after use. So much better than GHD!!!!!! I initially thought the Original size was too small, but I'm finding it great now. If I'd wanted to change to a larger model the Glampalm customer service said they'd happily exchange it. So thats good to know. My hair is long but fairly thin and I find the Original great. My mother has VERY thick mid length hair and finds the Mid size is good. Honestly, hesitating and just buy one! Worth every penny! A++++

Won't regret, Love it !!!
My hair is fine and long, easily loose styling. but with GlamPalm, stays pin straight even after sleeping! My hair feels softer and looks shiny days after use and it doesn't dry my hair out!! I don't feel like I need to give my hair a rest from over heating it. I've also noticed less split ends and breakage. I've been using it for more than 2 years and can't say enough about how much I love this product! Is definitely worth the price!

My only one Straightener!!
I bought it about 3 years ago. From the first i used it i was in love. It has been amazing for my hair and i love how my hair remains so healthy. I straighten my hair every 2-3 days and it lasts right up until my next wash. It gets rid of all my frizz too. It heats up straight away and is super easy to control temperature. I highly recommend to all my family and friends.

Loved it, but like clockwork it died a day after warranty expired
I have used the glampalm on my very fine hair for two years. It's a great product, worked well and hasn't damaged my hair. Unfortunately, after 2 years and 1 day it stopped working. Warranty was for two years. I'll probably try another brand next hoping it will last longer.

Finally a hair straightener that works
I received my Glam Palm within 24 hours of ordering, and used for the first time today, and cannot be happier.
I have quite fine thin hair that normally looks a little dry and lifeless when straightened. After using the Glam Palm this morning my hair looks thicker, shinier and feels so much softer. Awesome Packaging, Product & Service - would definitely recommend.

Amazing, They Used To Make The Original Ghd!!!
When I first received it i fell in love with the packaging! Once i started to use it i was blown-away by the quality and the shine it leaves my hair. this was 3 years ago and still going strong. As i cut my hair shorter I needed a smaller size and got myself the GP201. its the original size as they call it. Again its amazing! I love the 11 heat settings and that i only have to go over 1 time and it is fabulously straight.Thank you glampalm to save my life because before i started using the glampalm i have tried cloud 9, ghd, and so many other b...Read more

August 17th 2017 Update: Upgraded from GP201 after i stepped on it OMG I'm in love! i had the GP for about 6 months and loved it to pieces but i stepped on it and broke. i treated myself to an upgrade and got the new clinic. This one vibrates and is definitely an upgrade. my hair stays longer curled and straighten even in the humidity weather is experiencing. its the best i have used by far!Similar opinion?

Quick as a flash
Thanks a million GlamPalm. You just made my Christmas. I ordered my new GlamPalm yesterday at 2pm and at 10am today I had an express delivery of a brand spanking new hair straightener. I couldn't believe it. I haven't taken it out for a spin yet, but fingers crossed the product is as brilliant as the service.

I used my Original GlamPalm Straightener for the first time I'm so happy! I wish they released GlamPalm in Australia way before releasing GHD's and Cloud Nine's. I just can't get enough off it. All I do is wash my hair out then blow dry it, I don't use any products in my hair and after straightening my hair it looks so silky and healthy it's just amazing

Disappointed
After my 10 year old ghd was lost, I needed to replace it. After a bit of research I decided on the glam palm as it had a longer warranty. I have been using it for about 6 weeks now, I only straighten my hair once or twice a week. I'm not happy with the results it gives me, my hair is not as shiny and the glam Palm gives me lot more frizz than with my old ghd. I haven't had one time where I've looked back and thought, yes it's done a good job. I have tried all the different temperature settings as I have fine hair, but I'm yet to be happy....Read more
I wish I had just replaced with the ghd (more like I wished I hadn't lost my old one in the first place). I still use all the same products I usually would and same hairdresser so it can't be anything apart from this straightener. I did love th packaging and hair clips it came with. It also needs to have a loop so u can hook it for storage.4 comments

Thank you for your comment. GlamPalm manufactured ghd and still manufacturers Cloud 9. The performance of the GlamPalm is superior to the brands mentioned above.

I love this straightener
I purchased my GP201 online, switching from a cloud nine. I've been very happy with the change, it's so easy to use and my hair stays straight and feels smooth all day.
The straightener unfortunately stopped working within the 2 years but it was fixed and returned the next day after being sent off. Now that's great service!

Starts beeping and turns itself off
This straightener worked really well, but now for no reason I turn it on it heats and then starts beeping continuously and turns itself off. Very disappointed because it was $229 to buy and its only just a year old and I only use it 2 times a week.
Very disappointed.

Wow Wow Wow Amazing the best! Love it!
I have can now say the glam palm is by far the best hair straightener i have now ever used, the first straighter i brought was the ghd it lasted 10 or more but then started to burn my hair so i thought I would upgrade. My second hair straighter I purchased was a halo katie, it was ok not, but not that great, the 3rd I purchased was a muk, great for curls, it only keeps your hair straight for a couple of hours then back to hardcore frizz. My fourth purchase was a Remington Keratin & Argan Oil Nourish Hair Straightener it burns your hair...Read more
, and doesn't straighten well, keeps the frizz, you pay for what you get. The fifth was the Sas works ok/ good, the locking system is very frustrating and does take a while to make your hair sort of straight. Now finally The most perfect hair straightener i found it works amazing my hair is very smooth, silky and straight with no frizz at all, It only takes minutes to straighten my hair using the comb provided it makes lovely shaped curls the heat temperature is to 200 max and heats up fast. The glam palm I am so happy with this straightener! super fast delivery the next day and my rate overall for the glam palm would be 10/10 and would recommend it.Similar opinion?

Hi Lisa,
It comes with 11 heat settings. From 100 to 200 degrees.
The Clinic has a Clinic mode which is 60 degrees.
Kindest regards,
Thank you so much for your answer!
Liishaasked
I have long fine hair and looking at buying a glampalm, to straighten and curl. I've seen other questions which suggest 201 to be best for my hair type. Does anyone know much about glampalm clinic and whether it's better suited?
Thanks
2 answers
GlamPalm A.GlamPalm
Hi Liisha, we would recommend you the GP201 or GlamPalm Clinic. The Clinic will be released on June 7th.
The differences between the two are: slightly longer plates, nano-vibrating technology and clinic mode and of course the white with black plates design.
Just placed my order for the clinic can't wait
eearieparkasked
I want to straighten and curl long fine hair. Is the 201 the best option? Would like to work faster if the bigger plates would curl fine hair that will hold. Also is there a product you would recommend to hold curls for all day dance performances?
2 answers
If you have long fine hair the 313, or the simple touch would ideal. The 501 is fantastic but it is more designed for long thick hair. I'm sure the 501 would work equally as good in your hair, but as the plates are that bit wider, the curls would possibly be wider.
As for holding curls, Moroccan Curl control mousse or Moroccan curl defining creamy (they have a heat protector in them) once you've curled wait for it to cool and give a short spray of hairspray. Just remember though putting a hair straightener on hair that has hairspray on it, is not a good thing.
I am a hairdresser and i would recommend GP 201 or simpletouch as your hair is fine.The curls will last longer when you curl with one of those straighteners.:)
For the hair spray i agree with Sunlily's answer.
