Product Rating: 5 Amazing!!!
Reviewer: Brittney from Indianapolis, IN USA  Wed Oct 21 2009

I have fine curly hair and the ghd was amazing... I am a salon manager and one of my stylists had a ghd so I decided to use hers before I bought my own I previously had a sedu which works but is not comparable to this... My hair gets extremely straight and stays that way!!! She also taught me to doflat iron curls... My hair never held curl with a curling iron I would curl it and it would be flat and gross within 1 hour... But with the ghd my hair stays curled all day and even after I sleep on it ... It is still very curly the next day... I love this flat iron and honestly I would pay the price over and over for this quality.... Hope this helps with your decision to buy a flat iron!!!!

Product Rating: 5 Course curly hair in South Georgia
Reviewer: Summer   Wed Sep 23 2009

I live in South Georgia. The humidity here is unbelievable. I also have curly course hair that frizzes out as soon as I step outside. Three years ago I bought a GHD from my stylist and I still use it today. I have never had any problems with it. Not only does it straighten my hair in one pass (unlike with other brands with several passes)it stays stick straight ALL day long. I use this flat iron every day and my hair is very healthy. Of course I also use a heat protection spray as well. I have owned several of the big named flat irons and not one of them compares. After reading the reviews on this site I wonder if the ones who are unhappy with the GHD are the ones who bought a knock off unknowingly. I can't imagine anyone not loving this iron.

Product Rating: 5 i've tried many irons. this one is best.
Reviewer: Prudence from Las Vegas, NV  Mon Sep 21 2009

i used a chi for about a year until it broke. i replaced with a ghd and never looked back. i absolutely love it. it heats up in an instant. i've also tried a paul mitchell iron and it pulls my hair. i've tried the chi nano and there is a spring mechanism that im not used to. my favorite is the ghd and it is definately a quality tool.

Product Rating: 3 Not Solia
Reviewer: Christy from Windham, ME USA  Mon Sep 14 2009

I bought this because at the time I purchased it my Solia had just died and this was currently rated #1. At this point, my hair is a mess. It catches on your hear and braks. The sides and back of my hair look great - the tip - like I stuck my finger in a light socket. I am ordering my $84.00 Solia - and never going anywhere else acain.

Product Rating: 5 Love it!
Reviewer: Ana from Montreal, Quebec, Canada  Fri Aug 28 2009

I love my GHD ! This is a really good product !
Left my hair smooth and absolutly straight !
And you can make fabulous curls with it !
The only thing a recommend is to not use it too often because if you are like me with fine hair it will a bit damage your hair and create some split ends because this flat iron goes really hot ... I can say !
But I have this iron since almost one year and I can say that it is really good it's like my baby !

Product Rating: 5 Silky straight/curly hair that stays all day
Reviewer: Emily from New Jersey  Thu Aug 13 2009

Alright, I've been sleeping on getting a ghd for a while now and I finally decided to get one. Let me tell you, my hair stayed straight/wavy/curly all day. Of course, I used a thermal protector, as you should use for every straightner, but WOW. Ghd is one of the best investments I have made in a long time. I admit, it was a little pricey, but it doesn't even matter anymore because it totally works. Get this straightner, for real, because you won't regret it.

Product Rating: 5 Best flat iron!
Reviewer: Susie from Cerritos, CA  Tue Aug 04 2009

Previously owned the Sedu flat iron and it stopped working after a year. This GHD flat iron was highly recommended by my hair stylist. Wow, what a difference a GHD makes! It is far superior than my prior Sedu. I'm giving one to my sister for her birthday because I know she'll love it. Although it's pricey, the quality is the best. I'd recommend it to everyone. I'm just crossing my fingers that this one doesn't stop working.

Product Rating: 3 Just like my rating... average.
Reviewer: Jillian P.   Fri Jul 31 2009

I purchased the GHD straightener through Folica in December during the holiday sales. Between the high reviews and 'dual voltage', I was instantly sold. I like so many others have a thicker head of wavy hair that tends to be on the dryer side (probably from all the straightening). When I first received the straightener, I was not impressed at all. It does get extremely hot (there is no temperature adjustment), but other than that I found the straightener to be completely average - it still took me over an hour to straighten, and it did still snag my hair but ever so slightly. But because half the reason I bought it was for the dual voltage and couldn't test that so I held on to my GHD. This summer I traveled throughout Europe for a month. I was assured that along with a converter and adaptor this straightener would indeed work.. it performed well in London but once in Paris - it wouldn't even turn on and the same for every city following. The only good thing.. the warranty through folica. I am having a replacement straightener shipped as we speak. (Though I had to pay a $10 replacement fee and ship the defective one back at my own expense - which was never mentioned before hand.) I think I would have been better off buying a straightener in the hundred dollar range and a regular drug store traveling straightener.. but that's just me.

Product Rating: 3 Stops working!!!
Reviewer: Pamela Montesdeoca from Charlotte, NC  Wed Jun 24 2009

I have owned 3 GHDs in the past 3 years. All of them have stopped working after 1 year or so of use. The first died before the year.

As far as performance, it's good not great. I have thick, dry hair and it does leave it straight but with breakage. I just brought a Solia from here and I hope to have better results. This product is too overpriced for the issues it has!

Product Rating: 5 Greatest Ever
Reviewer: Cheryl Sewell from Townsend, DE  Thu May 14 2009

This is so worth the money. I am a African American mixed raced female. It's hot in 3 seconds and I can completely straighten my hair in 15 min. It used to take me at least an hour with the others. My hair doesn't get caught in the barrel like the flat irons sold in the malls.

Product Rating: 5 it will change your life!!!!!!!
Reviewer: meghan from california  Mon May 11 2009

i am a hair stylist and have used and been exposed to all different flat irons! i can tell you this is by far the best styling iron on earth!!! notice how i did not say flat iron> this iron does more than just straighten the hair. i have thrown away all other styling tools and use my ghd as my curling and smoothing iron. every time you use the ghd and their products you hair gets healthier and healthier. spend the money on this because your hair is your best investment!!!

Product Rating: 5 am black/hispanic
Reviewer: Valentina Oletta from ny, ny  Fri May 08 2009

I have tightly curled, somewhat coarse hair. oldschool scary spice. It gets my hair straight, soft...loveable. it stays straight. I did the worst job ever w/ the blowdryer, and it still straightened my hair (except the roots)

I have a Chi, works great (touchups) but I like this more. I like that it works soo well despite not getting as hot as the FHI. I was turned onto it my a dominican woman who happens to work at Prive Salon (NYC). She was right. its the best. almosy no snagging, can travel w/ it, leaves hair smooth but not flat.

My hair is craaaazzy. If your hair is more manageable, go elsewhere.

Product Rating: 5 Great Flat Iron
Reviewer: Anonymous from Alabama  Thu Apr 30 2009

This is a great Flat Iron, just too expensive. I've also noticed someone clames that if they do not come with Holograms they are fake. It's actually just the opposite. I've contacted GHD because I did have one with a Hologram and the plates of my iron were peeling. They told me if I had a Hologram on my card that it was a fake. They do not issue Hologram numbers. There is also a place on their site I found that state's the same thing. It's a little hard to find, but it's worth reading.

Product Rating: 5 The Best Flat Iron Ever Made!!!
Reviewer: S.W.   Sat Apr 25 2009

I have the GHD Dark Limited Edition flat iron, which isn't sold on this site. I always have all of my flat irons registered. As, I do this for warranty reasons and to ensure that my flat irons are 100% authentic. Well, the first thing that I did after opening my shipment with the flat iron in it, was to go online to have the flat iron registered. The absolute way of telling whether a GHD flat iron is fake is to go and register it on the GHD website. If the hologram number that is intered is a fake, then the GHD website will let you know right away. Do not take other people's advice on what all GHD fake irons are supposed to look like. As, the best place to go to find out whether you have a 100% authentic GHD flat iron is the GHD website.

Also, this flat iron is the absolute best that I have ever used. And, I do own a CHI flat iron by the way.

It gets hot faster than any other flat iron I have ever used before. I leaves my hair looking completely pin straight whenever I use it. And, I actually have naturally curly hair, by the way.

Also, it has never caused my hair to become overly damaged or dry looking like straw at all.Even though GHD flat irons are very expensive, they are a great investment. And, if you are someone that thought that the CHI was the best out there (like I used to think), then I higly recommend that you upgrade to a GHD flat iron. As, you will end up being so happy that you did.

Product Rating: 3 Just Average for the price
Reviewer: Stephanie from Honolulu, HI  Sat Apr 25 2009

I had gotten the limited pink colored one in July 08 - I loved the pink one but it stopped working in March 09 - less than a yr after purchase. I returned the broken pink styler back to folica and got a black version instead as the pink one was discontinued. The black one I got seems/feels a little cheaper than the pink one I had before. The styler works really well - very fast to turn on and use...But for the price I expect better quality. Would think twice about buying something this expensive next time.

Product Rating: 5 Beware of fake ghd stylers on ebay
Reviewer: Linda from Indiana  Wed Apr 08 2009

I did not do the research first and purchased a fake ghd strightner on ebay now am going through the hoops to try and get a refund through paypal. I got a ghd on folica.com and love it!!! Just beware of the fake ones because they advertise to be authentic but are not. The real ones have a three prong electrical plug and there is not a hologram on the electrical cord. Hope this saves someone the trouble of buying a fake.

Product Rating: 5 Best hair straightener EVER!!!
Reviewer: Katie from West Virginia  Mon Mar 23 2009

I have incredibly thick and curly hair so, finding a hair straightener that didn't fry or damage my hair while attempting to make it straight became very difficult. My hair stylist kept telling me to get this straightener, but I was scared to put the money into it due to my experiences with others in the past. I have tried the chi, ultra shine, and solia, just to name a few; all quit working within the first year of purchasing them. However, I purchased my first ghd almost a month ago and could not be more satisfied! It was well worth the extra money!! I would recommend it to EVERYONE!!

Product Rating: 5 my best friend
Reviewer: Alejandra from California  Mon Mar 23 2009

i got this iron for christmas after begging my mom for it because of the reviews i had read about it and it is the best iron i have ever owned. i have natuarlly wavy hair and so do my mom and my sister. our hair is also very thick. i have owned about 5 other irons and none of them have worked this well. this iron does everything it is supposed to it straightens and curls wonderfully and it makes my hair very shiny. i am currently a cosmetology student and i have tryed many other brands and this is the only iron i have used on myself and on friends that has worked for all of us. it is worth every penny.
