GHD Eclipse Review

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 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.

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!

I love my eclipse ! Its the first GHD I have owned , and it does the best job. The plates slide smoothly , it is comfortable to hold and the size is perfect. It isn't too chunky to hold , or too small. It heats up very quickly and straightens my hair a lot quicker than other straighteners.

The fact that it rings when it has heated up is very cool & that it turns off itself when it hasn't been used after a few minutes is a great addition as I often forget to turn them off. I also love the packaging , comes in a beautiful bag and heatproof mat.

I have always been a fan of the original GHD and was hesitant about trying a new one but from the first use I wouldn't go back to any other. It heats up quickly, straightens perfectly and lasts all day unlike other straightners ive tried where my hair goes frizzy by mid day. It will curl your hair however not QUITE as easily as the previous model due to it not being as hot.

I have a straight hair but I like to use it to style and curl my hair :) I love they way it requires little effort and time to style my hair. It only takes 5 mins in the morning on workdays to straighten sleepy hair. Easy to carry when travelling as well.

I have very thick curly and frizzy here and the eclipse exceeded my expectations. It makes its silky and shiny and easier to straighten to the extent that I dont mind straightening my hair now. I love my ghds all over again like it was the first time.

I love this GHD. It makes your hair super straight and lasts all day as long as you use it properly (iron through hair slowly)

This hair straightener is amazing! it really does what it says it does and it keeps your hair straight throughout the day! It heats up really fast so there is no waiting around I love it!
