It’s a no from me

Purchased this after my original GHD had broken after having it for over 10 years. I had heard amazing things about cloud nine and I was extremely disappointed. I have very thick, curly hair and this straightener does not straighten it very well it just makes it semi straight and boofy. I use salon hair care products too but have not been able to make this work. Even after being at the salon and having my hair done I’ll try to straighten out any kinks from over night and it doesn’t do anything just makes it static and fluffy. If you have thick hair and want sleek straight hair I’d definitely recommend looking at alternative straighteners.

Tips: Not suitable for thick, curly hair that tends to be on the frizzier side.

One of the best hair straighteners on the market

Recently I invested in a Cloud 9 hair straightener, even though it is a pricey it is worth it. My hair texture is very dry and damaged due to coloring, but this straightener gives a smooth and sleek look whenever I use it. When I style my hair with this iron, it lasts all day. It has adjustable heat settings and using a low setting works for me. Overall I recommend this straighter for everyone who likes to heat style their hair on a regular basis.

Tips: Use heat protectant before using this straightener, especially when using the 200 setting.

Can be used for curling and straightening, it just one go. I don’t need to go over the same strands repeatedly.

cloud 9 bliss

Such a great branded quality hot iron. If here wasn't such thing as GHD I would definitely be all for this brand not me it does super jobs thick coarse hair and also as the humidity affects hair after its been straitened when you use a cloud 9 on thick coarse hair it doesn't seem to get affected by humidity for at least 6 hours witch is excellent.its sleek look and designed with black floating plates you seem to find it manageable light and no Hassel when it comes to hot ironing of hair and styling exactly ow you like with eaz

Tips: Much more manageable to use when wanting to straighten and style an type hair

The best since the original GHDs

Love my cloud nine straighteners, they work amazingly in my super thick frizzy curly hair. Before I purchased these I had a ghd set that I'd had for 7-8 years until it sadly died. I looked at replacing them with another set but they just didn't cut it, the cloud ones did a far better job! Just wish they weren't so expensive

It's Worth the Splurge

I have been waiting for this product to be added to the review system for ever, just because this is a something that i need to spread the word about. Its amazing.

4 years ago, i was tossing up whether to buy the GHD which seemed to be the best thing in the market, or to spend a little more money and get the Cloud 9's. After doing research, and i mean a lot of research. It seemed original GHD'S were awesome, but the newer ones just werent as good so i was leaning towards buying Cloud 9's. The deciding factor was when i was talking to my hairdresser who wholeheartedly supported cloud 9's, saying if you had to choice, they were the way to go. And so i did.

I purchased my cloud 9's for $350, which i have to admit it a lot, especially if your on a student budget like i was. But my gosh, they are pretty. They come in a black box which has a metallic teal strip running around it, with the cloud 9 logo imprinted on the front. Picture perfect. They came with a velvet carry bag, as well as a cover which means you pack your straighteners away even when they're hot.

Not sold? The straightener is sleek, but you can just tell its quality. From the temperature control settings, you can tailor the heat to suit your hair type, as well as the hair style you want to create. An amazing thing because no one wants to singe their hair. The plates on the straightener are infused with minerals, leaving hair looking shiny and healthy, instead of heat damaged and dry. The plates also glide over my hair, instead of tugging it like GHD's do. The cord is a swivel cord which means you can easily adjust the angle.

This straightener is perfection. I have tried both a GHD , and the cloud 9 and just can't believe the difference. It literally is amazing.

Tips: Buy it!!

Better than GHD

If you have coloured hair bleached hair or fine hair this is the straightener for you. (Also suitable for thick course hair) This straightener has a heat adjuster which is a must if your hair is coloured or fine. Try it on different heat settings as the lowest heat the better it is for your hair, Glides easily through the hair without dragging which is especially important when creating curls. As a professional hairdressing tutor and ex salon owner I wouldn't use anything else

Tips: Dont automatically use it on the highest setting. 180 is perfectly suitable for fine or coloured hair. Always use a heat protecting product prior to use if you want your hair to stay shiny and manageable.

The best by far!

I was given a Cloud 9 original iron as a present for my 18th birthday, im now 21. This hair straightener is one of the best beauty investments you can make. This product is sturdy and can handle being dropped a few times, these plates have never cracked.

I found the changeable temperature really useful over time as I've previously chemically treated my hair and needed to lower the heat. This iron still heats up really quickly, even after three years.

These irons have been able to straighten my long, thick hair with ease with causing minimum damage to my hair.

This product has been well worth its price tag as I still use it everyday and it still works as well as it did on day one.

Tips: These irons will turn itself off if you forget!, have saved my house from burning down many times.

Definitely on Cloud 9

Being an ex hairdresser I've had access to the best tools in the industry. When I first used these straighteners I was sold, they are far superior to anything else on the market. I have thick coarse frizzy hair and it tames my hair with ease. It's streamlined body makes it easy to handle and the curved edges means it's perfect for curling also. I've used them on other hair types and the heat control setting make it adaptable from very fine to very coarse. The smoothness of the plates means they don't catch or snag which is important with such a high heat range, so you don't risk burning your hair.

Tips: Do not forget to use heat protection, it's like going out in the sun without sunscreen using straighteners without it.

A love affair of 4 years

I've had my Cloud 9's for 4 years now, and nothing else compares. They heat up near-instantly so they're ready when you are, with an adjustable heat setting suited to everyone's hair types. The leave you with the silkiest, straightest hair, and they are slim and lightweight, making them easy to use. The curved body gives you the ability to curl too, making them perfect for whatever style you're after. They are long lasting, quality straighteners that are more than worth the investment.
