Good Points

They are hot enough to work on some hair types.


Bad Points

They market this product as suitable for Afro-Caribbean hair, I personally have very soft hair and they didn't work particularly well on my hair so I would have to disagree.


General Comments

I decided yesterday to purchase some Salon Professional wide plate GHDs (GHD IV Salon Styler) suitable for Afro Caribbean hair on next day delivery so I washed my hair and waited for delivery, but when they arrived this morning, I tried them out and they were a complete disappointment. They're supposed to be suitable for afro Caribbean hair but they weren't a patch on my usual Corioliss! After using the GHDs I had to use the Corioliss C2 straight away to achieve the look I wanted! I packed the GHDs back in their box and sent them straight back to the company, there's no way I'm paying £120 for sub-standard tongs (which are supposed to be top of the range) having over- spent £140 just 6 months ago on the Corioliss! (The Corioliss plates are peeling and therefore tug at my hair, hence my attempt at replacing them)
I honestly do believe that the GHD IV Salon Styler straighteners would work really well on Caucasian hair when it is not as thick as Afro Caribbean hair but for me personally, as a person who has very soft (shoulder length, blows in the breeze) Afro Caribbean hair, I think only tools with a higher temperature setting are going to give me the desired effect.
I ' ve heard great things about the GHDs and as I have a wedding coming up I thought I ' d give them a go. Unfortunately they are just not suitable for me. Unless they bring out a version with a higher degree setting, I ' m going to have to give GHDs a miss.
