Girlies, what kind of hair straighteners have u got? And do u straighten your hair?
I have an old GHD that still works great, and recently got a GHD hot brush and I’ve got another pink hot brush from Amazon
Tho I’ve been hearing great reviews and talks about the CLOUD 9 hair straighteners and thinking of maybe purchasing... anyone has them and how they compare with GHD?
Has anyone shelled out on the super expensive dysons yet? Ha |

I’m using a £30 pair by Remington after my GHD’s died & I could afford to replace them. I’m finding them better than my GHD’s to be honest. There’s no way I could justify the cost of the Dyson ones

I have my GHDs but I've found my hot air brush gives me that salon blow dry look in minutes. Much faster than drying with a hairdryer and then using straightners x |

"I have cloud 9's but I've never owned a pair of GHD's so I'm no use.
I love the cloud 9's though. So smooth. "
I’m so tempted!!! Haha I might have to pick them up and see how they perform...
I’ve got a thin GHD iron for finishing touches so maybe a regular cloud 9 could complete my whole collection
.... I probably need to be sectioned lol

"Cloud 9 original iron. By far the best straighteners I have ever had "
Did U try the GHD? how do they compare?
Also whoever mentioned dyson, I can’t believe how expensive they are...
Tho I’m intrigued about the airwrap as it has a few heads including the brush which dries your hair while u brush?
Having said that I’d probably still need to finish off with the Iron so... problem still stands lol |

I use ghd original, but my hairdresser uses cloud...I'd say they give more or less the same result. A lot will depend on your hair texture though...I have naturally curly, quite coarse hair, and I've used plenty of other brands/types of straightener that don't touch it. |

You won't be disappointed. I like the weight of them as well, and you might find that you won't need the GHD for the finishing touch as C9 will do it, they smooth out my thick hair nicely. And they make gorgeous curls

Mine is naturally thick-ish and wavy so, I always like to finish off with the iron.
I’ve heard so many good things about cloud 9 how it makes the hair look nice and soft after. And apparently a lot of hairdressers have those instead of the GHD
I’ve purchased the GHD hot brush for the day after etc as it’s great cos I only need to give it a quick touch. |

Only ever had GHD and I'm not sure I could use another. |

Do you have the touch or the regular ? I think touch is £139 and the original is £149 (and the chunky one is also £149) |

I straighten my hair if going out but seldom during the pandemic. Quite like my hair messy at times. My hair needs to be tied up for work so I usual just blow dry it. My straighteners were not expensive but do the job they were designed to do. |

i think ive had my ghds about 13 years
i only really run them lightly over my extensions when i have them nowadays though as ive never been able to do straightners curls (use a wand instead) and when my extensions are out my hair feels so flat already that straightening would make it flatter
never used anything better than ghds but then i imagine technology has moved on quite a bit since i bought them
i have the dyson hairdryer and love it , but wish i waited 6 months for the release of the air wrap as no way i could justify buying a second in the range and the dryer only does drying , none of the fancy stuff |

I've got two pairs of GHDs and a cheap pair by an unknown Chinese maker. The best ones are the 16 year old GHDs. I usually blow dry my hair with a Babyliss Big Hair hair dryer but now and then I use straighteners to either straighten it completely or in conjunction with a heated brush to curl the ends |

I’ve got a really old pair of the wide plate GHD’s, don’t use them often these days though.
I’ve got a really long, almost waist length hair, it looks far better curly or wavy, but I just can’t do it. I’ve thought about getting one of those hot brush things, but I think my hair might be a bit long and I worry it’ll get tangled. |

If you section it off and use a Babyliss Big Hair or similar you should be ok if you keep it moving up and down as it rotates. The trick is to three quarters dry it first too. You can curl or wave with straighteners too |

I don't want blow my own trumpet or anything but my business is professional hair products and hair straighteners my specialty. Having sold straighteners before ghds existed. GHD paying for name, don't get me started on Dyson! Pure marketing on both counts. Cloud nine ok. There's better value out there. Nothing to touch the Yogi brand and they're the straighteners going cheap at the moment. As sold on Qvc a few years ago and were also in boots. I could go on and on and bore you with science and knowi, just trust me. Not sure if links are allowed here? Pm me if you need any info,advice on any pro hair products. Xx |
