- The unique heaters are double plated with a platinum wire embedded in between the plates and fired at 1400°C
- The irons have a built in microprocessor which is totally unique
- The control circuitry means that the irons retain maximum heat throughout the styling process
- Other irons often use PTC or copper wound elements which are less efficient at emitting infra red and negative ions
- The iron removes unwanted moisture but will not take out the essential moisture

I have, in the past, bought a few different hair straighteners, cheaper ones than GHD and they just aren't good enough. They don't get hot enough and you have to go down your hair quite a few times and still it hasn't got that super straight, polished look like in the salon. Lucky me had these GHD straighteners bought for my birthday and they are brilliant! They are so quick and easy to use and light to handle (important for me as I have rheumatoid arthritis). The old ones I had didn't clamp shut and hold your hair firmly as the GHD do, I had to press them together, the GHD ones hold your hair firmly and straighten it effortlessly. You just switch on and in just 7 seconds they are up to temp and your hair steams like it does at the hairdresser-my hair never steamed with any of my cheaper straighteners and because you get the steam you really feel like it is doing something, ie. you are ironing your hair. My hair felt much smoother, silkier and looked much shinier with these brilliant straighteners and I hadn't had to go over and over it as with the old straighteners, just run them down once and that's all I needed-I suppose if you've got really frizzy or curly hair you may need a couple of goes down a section? The price may seem a bit steep, but, if you've bought straighteners at £30 then some others at £40 then some totally useless travel straighteners for £30 in the quest for the ideal straightener then you might as well have just bought the GHD in the first place and have done with it.
These straighteners are sold through Amazon by a third party seller so I thought I should tell you about this. Having experience of Amazon's excellent service I did wonder a bit before I plunged for these as venus hair design would be dealing with the sale (who I hadn't heard of anyway). I needn't have worried because their service was excellent: My straighteners were ordered Sunday evening, despatched Monday and I received them before noon Tuesday. They were well packed, no bulges or damages and Venus Hair Design had included a pack of 12 complimentary sectioning clips and charged no postage at all where Amazon quoted £5.00 p+p, this was all a very pleasant surprise and as a result of this I looked on their website and found they do the GHD iron oil for use with straighteners and I wouldn't hesitate to order something like this from them because I was so pleased with the service on this occasion.

As the owner of some unfortunately curly celtic locks I was amazed by the results of this straightener. I have tried many different products and these are categorically the best. They only take about 1 minute to warm up and you don't have to go back over the same bit of hair (unlike a lot of previous irons I've tried) . As the tongs are ceramic they don't "stick" to your hair. Also are really quick so it is suitable for a weekday morning before work when you are working against the clock (with the genetic betrayal that is your hair heritage) One word of caution though, they get super hot v quickly so be careful when working around your face. A Top tip is you can also use them for curling like when you "curl" a gift wrap ribbon by taking a small section of hair and curling against the hair you get a super curly section. Overall these are the best product I've ever tried for curly hair, and worth the (gulp) money.

Having unfortunately been blessed with hair that is neither curly, nor straight and also having hair that is rather thick It used to take me ages to wash, dry and style my hair to get it straight and reasonably fluff free. I tried several brands of straighteners but none achieved the desired effect.
One night I was at a friends house getting ready to go out when I asked to borrow hers to just run through my hair to tidy it abit. THANK GOD I DID. They were (as you've probably guessed) GHD's. I bought a pair of my own and I've never looked back.
When I'm getting ready, after just rough drying my hair, after 10 minutes (including heating up time) I have perfectly straight, shiny, manageable hair. With some practise I am now also able to burl my hair with them.
All in all,I would say BUY THEM. Many other's claim to be as good but that's rubbish. I have never found better and i would never use anything else. As for a previous comment regarding hair goin dry, that happens with all heat products on your hair. Its an unfortunate fact of life. It doesn't detract from my GHD's at all. They are simply FABULOUS.
