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.

I have been a GHD girl for many years but after trying my first ever Cloud9 this year I have officially been converted! The ceramic plates are so lovely, They glide through my hair effortlessly without tugging/breaking/ripping strands of my hair out. That was the very first thing I noticed and it made me fall in love with it instantly! It also takes me less time to do my hair now than it did with my GHD which is amazing because my toddler doesn’t give me much time to get ready in the mornings lol. This straightener is amazing and it gives your hair such a lovely glossy look! I like to use mine on the highest temperature setting when I first straighten my hair and then I just use a lower temperature setting for touch ups! (Possibly my favourite feature).

I have had my cloud nine original straighteners for 8 years and it works as well as the day I bought them. Amazing. Never skip a beat, love the temperature control and long flexible cord. Great investment

Amazing straighteners. Cloud nine just make great styling tools- I can’t fault their hair straightener or the curling wand I have.

They are a great purchase- although very pricey they are one of the best in the market and last for so long. The tools are just stylish and sleek.

They heat up quickly and easy to use. They are daily tame my long and thick hair. I love how smooth my hair looks after using this.

I use a hair protectant before using these. I do love the straight look that the straighteners provide but I also love to mix it up using my curling wand.

Overall I can’t recommend these enough. Five stars for these straighteners.

I love my cloud 9 straightener! I've had it for about 4-5 years, it is still going as strong as the day i got it! i was torn at the time over ghd and cloud 9. I decided to go with the cloud 9 as it was raved about so much at time and im glad i did! Haven't looked back since. If i could recommend anything with hair it would be this! Its worth the money and leaves your hair feeling amazing, doesn't leave your hair smelling burnt at all. Honestly can not rave about this straightener enough!!

​I love love love my Cloud9. I prefer over GHD (we have a GHD at the gym I go to, so I get to use both). The cloud 9 has multiple temperature settings ​, so you can adjust to your hair type, and reduce temp for those fine hairs around the face. It heats up super quick! So no waiting around. But the main reason I love, love, love Cloud 9, is the conditioning it provides. My hair is so soft and manageable after I have straightened. It doesn't' feel fried. It feels silky and smooth with a glossy shine. I have NO IDEA how they do it?! But it works. Whatever it is. Had them for about 2 years now, and no faults so far!

At high school and even now, I have always owned a set of cheap Remington hair straighteners and never bothered to splurge on anything more, until one of my old friends in our last few years of high school purchased a set of Cloud hair straighteners. These are amazing, my hair is super thick and long and these straighten it within minutes, no burning or steam coming from the straighteners from having to hold them in place for ages to achieve straight hair unlike with my Remingtons, these are brilliant. Also love the movable cord, so it doesn't get caught and twisted when in use. These heat up quickly and do an amazing job, that last for ages - even through rain. Cant remember how many times we used to run late for school due to straightening our hair with the Cloud 9's. Might be time I finally get a pair of my own.

I absolutely adore my Cloud9. I was previously a GHD lover and would have never changed if mine didn’t stop working but when it did, I did a bit of research and wanted to know if the reviews were true, which they were. My straightener glides through my hair, straightens quickly and I love that you can adjust the temperature. Curling is also a breeze!

Such a good straightener!!!! Heats up quickly, turns itself off if you forget to turn it off, easy to use + very smooth on the hair!

I was a GHD loyalist for almost a decade when my trusty mid-2000's GHD died on me. I discovered the Cloud 9 after a lot of digging. This is super pricey but so worth it. Nothing straightens my hair and is small and flexible enough to curl quite like this tool. So worth the splurge.
