i recently received the GHD iv dark styler and was impressed with the design and the use of the flat iron. i went on to unbox all the things in there. i do have to say that i had a bit of a hard time in taking the actual flat iron out of the box until i realized i had to tear the plastic covering off, silly me!
i haven't purchased GHD's before so i was a bit surprised that it didn't allow me to adjust the temperature of the iron. putting that aside, i decided to go ahead and see what else was in the box. of course i watched the dvd, they just gave you some tips on how to use the flat iron to achieve different looks, although i would honestly have to say that i wasn't too impressed with it. i read through the brochures and went on in plugging the flat iron in. like i mentioned before, i was surprised that the iron didn't allow me to control the temperature, but i went on in turning it on. i was amazed that it turned on and heated so quickly.
i decided to part my hair in half to test the iron out; one half would be straight and the other wavy. my hair is naturally straight on the crown area and goes into smooth waves. with my hair dried and sprayed with a heat protection spray, i decided to do the first half straight and really loved the fact that the hair glided through so easily and smoothly. i didn't have to go over the hair more than once to achieve the straight look. it also didn't take me long to finish straightening the hair. after that was finished i went on into curling the other half. i was able to curl my hair and twist the iron without my hair snagging and the plates made my hair able to glide through easily. i did however notice that the hair didn't stay in the middle while i was twisting the iron, but that could've just been due to my part.
overall i would recommend this flat iron to others. i would like it to have had the option where i could adjust the temperature, but the one it's set for seemed to do the job. i haven't had this for long, so i can't review on the lasting quality of the device, but for performance i can't complain. it is a steep price for a flat iron, but remember that it's your hair! i didn't have any issues with this pulling out hairs, tugging or anything like that.
