I wouldn't have bought this myself since it's so expensive, but I was one lucky girl when my then boyfriend (now husband) gave me a GHD Eclipse for my 25th birthday. I’ve had it for three years now. It came nicely package with care in a box and the colour is a nice chic black.
I don't think I can try other hair tools after using the GHD Eclipes. Not only does it straighten the hair, it can curl too and leaves a nice shine with a lightweight feel. There also hasn’t been any significant damage to my hair after using it over the years. Compared to many other brands I’ve tried, the number of split ends have been minimal.
I see what all the rave was about since I own one. I say it's worth it for the price and a great investment for the hair, especially since it lasts years unlike many other hair straighteners.
Love my new GH. Have always used remington or VS Sasson and had never seen the need for a more expensive straightner. After recieving as a gift I'm offically a convert. Leaves my hair less frizzy and damaged, shinier and work quicker for both curls and straight. Love this.
