GHD V Gold Classic Styler Review

If you ever thought GHD's were for straightening only you are in for an eyeopener here.

Not only can they straighten your untamed mane but they can also be used to give you the beach babe waves or the curls for you to twirl!!

Regardless, whether Thor hair is up, down, round and round, the blades on these will leave each strand shining bright.

These GHD's are extremely versatile which provides value!!

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.

Best straightener brand I've had a GHD since I was 16 and brought the limited purple one, I just turned 30th this year and got a teal colored on they last so long are a so good for the price!

GHD is my go to! A must have!

I have very thick, full and wavy hair so I'm very thankful that they came out with these products. It looks sleek, beautiful, modern with beautiful gold detailing and it's extremely light. It has a lovely long cord. I like the new turn on/off switch. It heats up very fast and straightens my hair with ease. It doesn't burn my hair for leave it frizzy.

I do have very long and thick hair so even though it does straighten my hair is does take a while; not as long as other brands I've tried.

Recently it was my birthday and “the family” decided to spoil me with a new pair of GHDs. My old ones were 10 years old at least?? I was getting some colour put in my hair and they were sitting there all alone staring at me while my colour was developing and I couldn’t leave them there.

The difference is noticeable. Definitely lighter in the body than my last GHD straightener and easier to control or pinch together. Has a very sleek look and easier to clean. Theres more of a shine to the new set whereas my old pair has quite a rough surface that scratches easily. So newbies are very easy to wipe down. Prettier also with its decoration embossing on them vs my old dull grey pair.

These slide over my hairs surface straightening so effortlessly. They don’t snag or slow like my old pair. Don’t get me wrong my old pair were good but these are amazing. Takes about 1-2min to straighten my hair. And it’s smoother and straighter than it’s been in the past.

Same warm up and shut off time which is a must but much needed. Handy this time around is the accessories as it comes with a plate guard. I did purchase one for my old pair but it too was showing it’s age.

I absolutely love this hair straightener!! Not only does it serve its purpose as a hair straightner it also has the capability of being a hair curler a hair crimper among many other things!! Absolutely recommend it to anyone regardless of the type of hair you have! This is my ride or die! 4 years strong!!

What can I say?! I have been a loyal GHD fan since I first started my Hairdressing 10years ago and I will never use anything else, they have taken the guess work of what temperature is perfect to reduce heat damage, they have gold plated ceramic plates for added shine, super lightweight and a 360degree swivel cord.

I love my GHDs. They weren’t cheap but have been worth the money in my opinion. I have thick dry hair and it takes a lot to tame my mane.

These cut through the natural wave and leave me with straight hair. Even better I can do a light curl quick and easy. It doesn’t take much effort to style it for a night out with these. I follow the nz Instagram and get lots of inspiration on there so highly recommend that.

Also a huge and important feature that I love is the automatic turn off. No worries when I head out that I have or haven’t turned it off as I know it would have turned itself off.

Honestly I have been looking forever to try and find a good straightener that will go through my thick curly hair but most of the ones I have used make my hair go so frizzy within an hour. My friend had this straightener and when I used it I was absolutely stunned with the results so easy to use and my hair stayed straight all day.
