Best hair straightener hands down! I used to use GHD and swear by them until I tried Cloud 9. I have messy thick hair and this controls my hair in less time and at a lower temp setting. I have had mine for over 5 years now and still running as it did the first time I got it.

Tips: Wipe it down after use with a dry cloth to ensure you don't get any build up of oils.
I absolutely love my cloud 9 hair straightener! It straightens a section of my hair in one slide down my hair without having to go over it again. It doesnt tend to burn my hair as much as some hair straighteners do. I have very long hair and I can straighten it quickly and effectively.
I have owned this straightener for probably more than 10 years & it is still going strong... I only straighten my hair maybe 2-3 times a month, but still. I love that you can adjust the temperature & not overly fry the hair. They're great quality & feel as such when you use them. I don't know what else I can say about it, except that I will never purchase another brand of straightener.
My sister loved using mine so much that whenever she came over she would do her hair. It started to annoy me... like are you here to visit me or just use my cloud 9?! So I bought her her own... spoiled much! But then she stopped coming to visit so much.... it was the cloud 9 she was coming over for.
Tips: I've always used mine with Sebastian Trilliant Thermal Protection & Shimmer Complex & never had any issues
I don’t where to start with this amazing hair straightener. I sold my GHD to convert to the cloud 9. And I will never but another hair straightener again. Love the heat options. I can straighten my hair salon ready, curl my hair with in minutes and I just the end result with each time I use it. Never ceases to amaze me. I love it! Price is pricey. You get what you pay for and this is a must have.
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).
Tips: Always remember to use a heat protectant spray.
I've had my Cloud 9 straighteners for over 7 years now and they are still as good as when I brought them. With a safety features of switching themselves off after a certain amount of time, if your like me and forget ti turn them off, it is a piece of mind. They heat up to 250 degrees, however I find 200 is perfect for my hair, being quite thick. I also use protective straightening spray to ensure my hair is well protected and straightens with ease. The plates are smooth and kind on hair, as you do not have to continually go over hair to straighten. Made of ceramic they do not pinch hair and glide through easily.
Tips: Make sure you always use a heat protection spray. I use Matrix as it is also a straightening spray with protective properties.
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.
Tips: Definitely add a bit of heat protectant — this iron doesn't mess around.
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!
Tips: Be careful, the irons are really hot. Also Vivo sells them and occasionally have after yay sales where I got mine for 25% ($100) off so ended up being similarly priced to a GHD.
I started out as a GHD user in my early 20’s. I knew Cloud 9 was the OG creators of GHD so when my GHD packed up after 8 years a purchased my cloud 9. I love the switch off function if you forget to turn it off. I have really thick and curly hair. The variable in temperature setting is handy for different types of hair. I straighten and curl using my cloud 9. Works to get the job done faster than the GHD . I would but this again - but my cloud nine is going strong after 7 years in. I have also used silver bullet which is good and a good size for travelling . I would buy the cloud nine travel size if I come across it next or if I see a good deal.
Tips: Temperature control is great but it does get really hot so exercise safety -use surface protector on the table.
Hands down the best hair straightener I have used! Love cloud 9s and would absolutely recommend them to all! No turning back once you use these babies.
Tips: Make sure you clean them when cool once a week to keep them at their maximum potential
