Cloud 9 The Original Iron Review

I have been waiting for this product to be added to the review system for ever, just because this is a something that i need to spread the word about. Its amazing.

4 years ago, i was tossing up whether to buy the GHD which seemed to be the best thing in the market, or to spend a little more money and get the Cloud 9's. After doing research, and i mean a lot of research. It seemed original GHD'S were awesome, but the newer ones just werent as good so i was leaning towards buying Cloud 9's. The deciding factor was when i was talking to my hairdresser who wholeheartedly supported cloud 9's, saying if you had to choice, they were the way to go. And so i did.

I purchased my cloud 9's for $350, which i have to admit it a lot, especially if your on a student budget like i was. But my gosh, they are pretty. They come in a black box which has a metallic teal strip running around it, with the cloud 9 logo imprinted on the front. Picture perfect. They came with a velvet carry bag, as well as a cover which means you pack your straighteners away even when they're hot.

Not sold? The straightener is sleek, but you can just tell its quality. From the temperature control settings, you can tailor the heat to suit your hair type, as well as the hair style you want to create. An amazing thing because no one wants to singe their hair. The plates on the straightener are infused with minerals, leaving hair looking shiny and healthy, instead of heat damaged and dry. The plates also glide over my hair, instead of tugging it like GHD's do. The cord is a swivel cord which means you can easily adjust the angle.

This straightener is perfection. I have tried both a GHD , and the cloud 9 and just can't believe the difference. It literally is amazing.

If you have coloured hair bleached hair or fine hair this is the straightener for you. (Also suitable for thick course hair) This straightener has a heat adjuster which is a must if your hair is coloured or fine. Try it on different heat settings as the lowest heat the better it is for your hair, Glides easily through the hair without dragging which is especially important when creating curls. As a professional hairdressing tutor and ex salon owner I wouldn't use anything else

I was given a Cloud 9 original iron as a present for my 18th birthday, im now 21. This hair straightener is one of the best beauty investments you can make. This product is sturdy and can handle being dropped a few times, these plates have never cracked.

I found the changeable temperature really useful over time as I've previously chemically treated my hair and needed to lower the heat. This iron still heats up really quickly, even after three years.

These irons have been able to straighten my long, thick hair with ease with causing minimum damage to my hair.

This product has been well worth its price tag as I still use it everyday and it still works as well as it did on day one.

Being an ex hairdresser I've had access to the best tools in the industry. When I first used these straighteners I was sold, they are far superior to anything else on the market. I have thick coarse frizzy hair and it tames my hair with ease. It's streamlined body makes it easy to handle and the curved edges means it's perfect for curling also. I've used them on other hair types and the heat control setting make it adaptable from very fine to very coarse. The smoothness of the plates means they don't catch or snag which is important with such a high heat range, so you don't risk burning your hair.

I've had my Cloud 9's for 4 years now, and nothing else compares. They heat up near-instantly so they're ready when you are, with an adjustable heat setting suited to everyone's hair types. The leave you with the silkiest, straightest hair, and they are slim and lightweight, making them easy to use. The curved body gives you the ability to curl too, making them perfect for whatever style you're after. They are long lasting, quality straighteners that are more than worth the investment.

Such a great branded quality hot iron. If here wasn't such thing as GHD I would definitely be all for this brand not me it does super jobs thick coarse hair and also as the humidity affects hair after its been straitened when you use a cloud 9 on thick coarse hair it doesn't seem to get affected by humidity for at least 6 hours witch is excellent.its sleek look and designed with black floating plates you seem to find it manageable light and no Hassel when it comes to hot ironing of hair and styling exactly ow you like with eaz

I received this as a present, just under 2 years ago, and it was one of the best present's I've been gifted.

I couldn't rave enough about this straightener. I've always struggled with my hair as it is very thick and frizzy naturally. Humidity, is my worst nightmare and even when I would use 'good' straighteners, my straight hair would be undone the moment I stepped outside... that was until, the Cloud 9.

It works like a charm, my hair is dead straight, silky smooth and fantastic and it LASTS. It is also really easy to create beautiful waves/curls with and I feel like my hair looks healthier after using it!?

This is top notch quality and it still works like the first day I got it, 2 later with no issues whatsoever.

This straightener is worth the purchase ladies, for the same price as other products that are most certainly lack lustre in comparison to this, direct your money this way!

I fell in love with my Cloud 9 straighteners 3 years ago and I will never look back. Before this I had GHD, new ones not the originals, I tried Remington, tresemme, babyliss but my hair never got that smooth straight look. It was straighter but quite often the humidity would destroy it. I bought my cloud 9 after saving and receiving a coupon and I have loved it. I had two break on me, just stopped working through a fault, and the customer service replace them straight away without question so keep the receipt! I would still recommend to anyone as this is the best straightener around, much better than GHD and I can get my hair as straight and sleek as my hairdresser at home.

So my GHD of many years had finally decided to leave me and I was left trying to decide between buying a cloud9 or GHD. After reading Atleast 100 reviews for multiple sites I choose the cloud9.

My experience with cloud9: I have naturally very curly and thick hair which usually takes about any hour to straighten with a GHD, however with the cloud9 it’s halved that time and leaves my hair straight all day. The temperature setting is also really great as you can set it to where you prefer. Would recommend investing in this rather than the new GHDs, there’s no real comparison.
