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?
