GHD Eclipse Review

I was lucky enough to get some of these recently and I can't stop bragging about them to they r completely awesome straighten my hair better than any straightener I've ever use total recommend these

Very cool little styler, I say space age because on the blue light and the little tune it plays when you switch it off and on, does what a ghd should. I'm just not convinced on the shape of them they seem a little bit chunky to me? Being a hairdresser have used all the ghd stylers and just a little fussy with how it feels in your hand,

Great for smooth straight result. Quick and you can create curls. Good for normal or greasy hair especially if not coloured or bleached. Only disadvantage is there is only one heat setting. If your hair is dry or bleached you would be better off with a straightener that has a temperature control as you only need 180 degrees if your hair is dry.

I borrowed my friends the other day before going out and I love it, I wanted to take it on home with me. It looks super rad and I really like the blue coloring ! Also the sound it makes is so cute ! It made my hair feel shiny and it curls just as well as it straightens ! It's an all round must have if you want to avoid bad hair days.

I recently used one of these at a friends house and I definitely prefer the GHDIV or gold edition! These ones just felt really cheap, as if they were just a really average brand made out of bad materials and light plastic. Yes the effect of these is good but the quality is not! when using it I found that where the hinge was, the plates moved from side to side, even though they are only supposed to go up and down as you open and close the straighteners.

Hubby surprised me with the Eclipse for Christmas and I love it! It straightens's my hair quickly and easily. It's now something I can do so as I'm running out the door if need be. It heats up very quickly and doesn't damage my hair, intact it looks healthier after I've used it!

I bought it the first day it became available because i couldnt wait! the good thing about the eclipse is that the new design is made to reduce in heat so it doesnt do as much heat damage to your hair but still straighten your hair perfectly. I was really interested in this because i hate damaging my hair as it grows so slow and i wanted to reduce the damage since i straighten my hair nearly everyday. This definatly does the job and im inlove with it.. and it heats up in 10 seconds. I also love the style and how it lights up and looks like a star its so pretty i love classic black!

The only problem that i have with this is it slightly moves side to side when it should only go up or down. I dont know if thats what they all do or if mines broken but its happened since ive had it and it feels like when it moves im breaking it more.

I have had to completely change this review after all the problems I have had with this product!

I got the GHD Eclipse as a present for Christmas 2013, and when I got it, I was like, wow, this is so awesome as it did a great job. About 5 months later is when I start having the problems.

I turned it on one day and it went into Shiver mode (this is when the product turns itself off due to the GHD being in the wrong temperature environment). I was pretty guttered when this happened, especially since my styler was always kept in a warm room, but wasn't too worried as I knew it was under warranty and I could get it replaced - which I did. About 3 months later the same thing happened again and once again I got it replaced.

Wouldn't you know it. About 2 weeks ago, it did the same thing.

It is still under warranty, so rather than getting another one for it do to the exact same thing, I have opted for a refund.

I am now going to buy the Cloud9 styler.

In general I would say GHD's are good, but with this one, I would not recommend it, mainly for the problems I have had with it!

This straightner honestly is incredible! love how easily it straightens my hair (naturally wavy) it heaps up in under 30 seconds which i love! stays straight the whole day and makes hair shinier too. has perfect temperature and only takes one or two strokes to get hair looking good. love it!
