GHD V Gold Classic Styler Review

After trying several other straighteners with not a lot of success I was given a set of these and now wonder why I bothered with the others! They heat up very quickly, are easy to manoeuvre, leave a great finish and don't dry out my hair.

I have literally had my GHD for about 9 years and it works just as well as it did when I first bought it. I paid about $350 from a salon and think it was worth every cent. I don’t often straighten my hair as I work with children and prefer to keep my hair tied back but when I do this tool works beautifully every time. Mine came in a leopard print satin bag and a big bulky velvet box which I don’t use as it takes up so much room. I have very fine hair and it is quite curly but very frizzy so a good straightener is essential. It smooths each hair and can easily be used to do a nice wave. When this tool finally dies I will definitely be purchasing another one as I’ve found it’s the only straightener that really smooths the frizz.

For someone whose hair can only be described as Brian May in 90% humidity I cannot stress how amazing this straightener is. I have used straighteners for the last 16 years, and this one for 4 of those. And it has no signs of slowing down. It’s sleek design makes it easy to use, the plates are smoothing and gentle on your hair and the heat is not too harsh. My hair stays straight for days following the initial straighten and only requires minor touch ups dependent on humidity. I tend to only wash my hair once a week and this does the trick between washes. It is great for curling also once you get the hang of it.

Classic go to for flat ironing or curling. Can be a bit of a catastrophe if your hair isn’t completely dry (sizzle effect haha) Used in conjunction with an Agi One treatment, my hair has never been sleeker.

I do not own now but I would like to buy this if it was a bit cheaper. I have used this in the parlours and borrowed from my friend. It is so effortless amd smooth on my hair which are quite frizzy and it maintains the shine in the hair. They straightening last for myself until the next wash.

These straighteners are amazing! They hear up super fast and make your hair so smooth and straight. I always find that straighteners dry out your hair but these don't! I have bleached hair and I have little to no breakage. They have a good life too! Mine have been going strong for years now. Worth every penny!

I had to replace my old GHD's - they had finally stopped working after THIRTEEN YEARS!!! Of course I was going to stick with GHD - although at the time they were the most expensive hair product I'd ever bought, they delivered more than enough value for money! I actually wanted the same pair, but I ended up buying the GHD Earth Gold limited edition, which I gather is the same product as shown above, but in a rose-gold colour (ohhh, so pretty). I immediately appreciated how easy my hair slid through the straighteners, no stickiness or having to jerk and pull. My hair glided through really easily, and because of that, I had to force myself to use them slowly, to get enough time for them to work! I like how it beeps when it's hot enough, and it has a shut off time if it hasn't been used) although to be honest, I think half an hour is enough time to burn the house down with them. And I like that the rounded barrel means that curls are easier to achieve. Another great reliable product from GHD.

Absolutely loooove my ghds don’t know where I would be without them! Super easy to glide through my wild curly hair, makes my hair so soft and smooth compared to cheap nasty strightners. I wake up with straight hair which makes a huge difference to the daily routine

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME product ever. The person or persons who invented GHD should be knighted. Before I got my GHD used cheaper straightners and those were crappy. I have extremely frizzy , curly and thick hair. By using the ghd my hair stays straight throughout the day and even the next day. Heats up quickly and ready to use in a few seconds. Wouldn't use any other straightners.

I have this styler except its in one of their limited edition colours (purple) , for ages i was trying to decide on if i get the gold or the platinum styler and i went with gold. Im so happy i went with gold as i think it is perfect! makes my hair feel less damaged than a run of the mill straightener and my hair looks shiny instead of dull. The heat up time is so quick . The price is expensive but you really are paying for what you get with these.
