GlamPalm Questions & Answers (page 2 of 3)

It depends on two things are you wanting to curl your hair also with the straightener or just straighten? If you want best value for money you can not go wrong with the GP501- I have long Asian hair but has a kink wave in it - I use the Gp501 and couldn't ask for anything better will never use another product best thing about glam palm no heat protector needed but I do use Moroccan oil once hair is cool hope this helps and merry Christmas

Hey Steff I would agree with the recommendation of the GP201 for me personally with hip length thick stubborn Asian hair with a slight kink wave is freshly washed towel and air dry hair ( blow out causes flyways and static to my hair) I then either use soft rollers to bed or if I have some kind of event I light blast my hair then when dry heat rollers - Then my secret weapon is the GP201 to enhance and define curls. Finding the right products is key and once you have them it's easy but with glam palm heat is your friend you don't even need heat protection it's amazing :) Not endorsed or paid by glam palm just an extremely satisfied customer but will take anything if they offer

Go to GlamPalm.com.au and buy it from there. That's where I bought it and had no problem at all.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Do you know if they ship to Dubai please ? Tried calling them but no answer, maybe they're closed.

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.

Hi Sonya,
I Think the GP313 will be the best for your type of hair! I also have the GP313 and its perfect for my super Frizzy hair! :p
Hope it helps!:)

Thanks Lisa

I'd recommend the GP 501, it has 11 heat settings so you can adjust the heat. This is the one I have and I love it. It doesn't fry the ends however I always use a heat protection product ( I use de Lorenzo thermal treatment and Argan oil) and regular hair cuts or trims. But I swear by GlamPalm hair straighteners. You will love it. As has been mentioned before section into 1.5 cms lots and start with the middle setting, if you find it too hot, turn it down or if you need turn it up, but only one temp setting at a time.

Hi Suryani,

We would recommend you the GP313 for your hair.

Kindest regards,

Hi Suryani,
I'd personally go with what GlamPalm have suggested. As they use all of the products often they are in a better position to advise than I am. But I love my GlamPalm and would not even consider an inferior product. One thing I would suggest though is ALWAYS use a heat protectant before straightening, I use De Lorenzo Defence Extinguish Spray and also De Lorenzo Argan Finishing Oil. I love how they protect my hair and the smell is divine.
Best wishes

Thank you so much for the answers.. Just a slight problem, I live in Indonesia and I just found out that here they only have the GP501, GP225, GP232 for the straightening ones. :(( So I guess the question would be which out of these 3 would be the best? Thanks again! Also -- I'll see if I can find the heat protectant, sounds good!

Hi ash I would definitely go the glam palm that would be my choice you can get larger wider tongs, to suit long thick hair jump on there website it will suggest different iron types for your hair types. I hope this helps thanks ash good luck

I would say depends on what your hair type is. I have wavey hair, but quite thin so I stuck with the base 201 model. They have a styler guide on their website that will help you decide what will works best for your hair. Hope this helps you decide! I love mine.

I think GP313! :)

I bought the classic and have had no problems what so ever. Very happy with my purchase. I don't own the simple touch or the hairdryer though, so can't comment on them. Good luck!

they are awesome. love mine! no problems at all. the dryer is really fast and one of the best i reckon. i would never look back!

I have the gp501 and I have medium thick frizzy hair and never been better!

They both give good result for straightening hair, but I've found GlamPalm is easier for curling as it glides smoothly. Only one drawback is the hot plate is slightly smaller so you can't curl big chunk of hair at once.

Hi there the 201 would probably most suit your hair for curling... 501 would suit most for straightning only for thick hair still love my glampalm for straightening my hair

I haven't found a way to curl the hair with the 313 but I am really style "challenged" when it comes to hair lol and have never been able to curl my hair with any straightening iron very well. As you say, they do really only recommend the 313 for straightening http://www.glampalm.com.au/category-s/1829.htm (I too opted for the 313 based on the size). The 313s are good for me because I have natural curls and just need it for straightening but I think that I would consider the other models in hindsight for the curling option. Maybe to be sure you get the best model for you, you could chat with them on their FB page, "Glampalm Australia" which they seem quite active on :)

Hi beni. The 501 is perfect for long thick hair, and gives big loose curls. If you're after a tighter curl, a narrower size would work better.

Agree with Sheenois

You would have to check with the manufacturer but I wouldn't think so. You could go to the store and test it out. I purchased it without seeing it and purely went by the reviews. I love it though!

you will need to check with the seller but I've liked mine

I found the GP501 really cuts down on styling time for my long, thick, curly hair!

Hi There sounds like my kinda hair, I purchased the GP501 I went with this to cut back the straightening time, I find the wide plates cover the big sections an as I have thick frizzy curly hair it tends to penetrate through my hair shafts
