My husband brought these for me for Christmas , however he had to give them to me because my White GHD I've owned for four years started to smell and the ceramic coating on the plates had chipped and was pulling at my hair. So I am the proud owner of these scarlet special edition. They are the usual high quality of GHD nice red plates with sparkly bits on a jet black straightener body, they have the same ability to turn off if you forget ,great peace of mind and safety feature, they Also come in a lovely red satin zipped bag with a heat resistant mat to leave them on to cool. They also have a plate shield for travel and two GHD hair clips. The outer box is also very glamourous and to good to throw out, the word GHD is in silver bling on the out Side of the black and red box that has one side that flips down nice touch and I love them. They feel thinner and lighter than my old White from 2007 and my very first black pair from 2003, and they have a thinner rounder plate finish compared to the fatter rounded ends of the White ones.so they felt a little different at first but after a couple of days am used to them. 5 out of 5 and buy them you will love them if you like bling.
