GHS Ceramic Hair Straighteners

Bought these for my daughter they are good straightners does what is say only complaint I have is I bought these in may 2012 off eBay with a warranty of 12 months. We have been using them all fine but the black cover-in over the wires has slipped down so the wires at exposed so it is unsafe to use it should not happen so dangerous when wanting them replaced I get no reply so have left this as a warning for other.

There seems to be a few rubbishing reports on these straighteners, however i have never had any bother with mine. I have had them atleast 8 years now and i have just ordered a new pair. Not becasue the old ones have stopped working, but just because i felt i needed an upgrade. I have ordered again from GHS and i hope the new pair work as well as the old pair. The only complaint i would make about them is that i often found that a strand of my hair would get caught somewhere in the plates, but that is all. On the website it doesn't give any details on the dimensions of the straighteners, i would have liked to know exactly how wide they are before purchasing but that is all. All other information on the website is easy to access and the site it easy to navigate.

I have had problems with these straighteners not lasting long, compounded by really poor customer service. The straighteners work really well, heat up quickly and do a great job but don't last more than a few months. Getting them replaced/repaired is a pain and I am going back to GHD.

These straighteners are the best I have ever used & I have tried quite a few different types.Can't believe how cheap they are compared to a lot of the other brands.They glide through my hair & leave it looking & feeling silky & soft. I placed my order over the phone and received them the next day, all this with no delivery charge!

I have frizzy horrid hair, but thanks to GHS Ceramic Hair Straighteners those bad hair day are long gone. It heats up so quickly, great if you're in a rush.

If you use them all the time, they can eventually dry your hair. It effects the ends. I have a lot more split ends then I used to, but I've been using them for 3 years now.

Would never be without them.

They arrived quickly and on first inspection they appeared great, they felt like a quality product - not flimsy or light - in fact they really were just like my GHD's which had broken on the Wednesday morning after 5 years of perfect service (hence trying these out!). However, the differences soon become glaringly obvious. First off, the instruction manual said that there was a red light and a green light, the red light would be on at all times when the product was switched on, and the green light would light up to indicate that the irons were ready to use. This was not the case, instead there is a single red light which flashes increasingly as the product heats up so I think as the instructions were incorrect it was difficult to tell what should be/was happening!! Once they appeared hot I started to straighten. The plates were set in their housing as tight as in my GHD's so my hair would kept getting caught and pulled in what is admittedly a tiny gap between the plate and its housing, but nevertheless my hair was catching in it - not the smooth gliding action I'd expected, or been lead to believe this product would provide. Lastly, but for me, most importantly, was the heat that the outer body of the irons reached during use. It hasn't cooled as I'm writing this and it's about 2 hours since I used them the side of my face when they briefly touched my skin as I was running them through my fringe (bangs). The casing seemed so hot that I couldn't leave them on my unit to cool as I would have done with my GHD's. They appeared so hot that I was worried it would melt my unit! I had to leave them on a dinner plate to make sure nothing would melt, or even worse catch fire actually burnt (just a minor burn, no blisters or anything, the area is red and still from the heat!

So, to sum it up, these things may be cheap but in my experience they are not a very effective product. I know they are 3x time cheaper than the leading brands, but I do feel that the leading brands are not just leading because they have huge marketing budgets, they are actually a more superior product which works well and are reliable.

Hopefully their 14 day no quibble money back guarantee will be just that! I will post again and let you all know how I get on with their Customer Services team!

It has a 360 degree wire so it doesn't get all twisted.

Very easy to use and the heat up very quickly leaving your hair silky smooth

I have been quite happy with my purchase of the GHS Ceramic Hair Straighteners overall.

really easy to use and very reliable and so much cheaper than GHD
