Review: GHD IV Hair Straighteners.

GHD Periwinkle IV Styler: £110*

Since the age of around thirteen when I got my first pair of hair straighteners, I have trialled a fair few brands including Remington, Philips and Vidal Sassoon, but I had never taken the dive in to the highly raved about world of GHD. Admittedly, it's the rather hefty price tag that has scared me off for all these years- My Remington straighteners were half the price of a pair of GHDs and they still did their job well. However, I finally decided it was about time I bit the bullet when I fell in love with the new limited edition pastel collection that GHD have recently brought out. After facing the tough decision between lavender, jade and periwinkle blue, I finally settled on the blue pair, and my, how beautiful they are.

Now, I don't know what it is about GHDs that makes them so special, but these have quickly become my favourites. Maybe I'm just judging by appearance because of my current obsession with everything pastel, as I don't feel that they straighten my hair any better or worse than my other hair straighteners- but just look at them, they're so sleek and super comfortable and lightweight to hold as well. Hitting a maximum temperature of 200 degrees and sporting a round barrel for creating curls and flicks, these are definitely good contender for anybody looking for a new pair of straighteners. Oh, and they feature a 2.7m long power cable and swivel cord, two things that you don't appreciate until you know what it's like to have to bend over backwards to straighten you hair as your plug socket isn't close enough to your mirror.

If you are on the market for a new pair of hair straighteners, you can find GHD straighteners here at Argos, amongst other brands if GHDs still aren't your thing.

What is your favourite brand of hair straightener?

  3. LOVE GHD straighteners! I've had mine for more years than I'd care to count and they are still perfect! (though I bet I've just gone and jinxed that!). My hair is pretty thick and long and these just glide sooo smoothly through my hair. They also give a great curl! I've yet to find another brand that heats up as quickly and works so well on my hair.

  8. I've had the same pair of GHD's (the leopard print ones) for about 5 years and they still work perfectly fine.. I'd love ones in a pastel colour though, the blue is gorgeous!

  10. I have two pairs of GHDs. One pair I got when I was 18 and due to having really thick, naturally, curly hair, they work wonders for me! Found them to be better than any other straighteners I've tried. My second pair were a present off my fiance, and they're limited edition red ones, but they don't straighten my hair as well as my old ones.

    GHDs definitely changed something!

  11. I love using my ghd's! My hair is so thick and curly my ghd's are the only hair straighteners I've ever owned that can straighten my hair and keep it straight for a few days.
