(657 customer reviews)The GHD IV hair straighteners are professional salon quality hair straighteners for people who want that salon quality shiny finish to their hair, and not the dry, frazzled look that regular hair straighteners will give you. GHD’s hair straighteners have an almost cult-like following because of the results you get with them. What makes them unique is that their ceramic heaters have a special smooth finish to them which leaves your hair looking fabulously shiny and straight.
Frizz, Curls and Dry Hair
I’ve tried literally dozens of hair straighteners over the years, some were ok, and some 
were absolutely rubbish. My hair is long, thick, curly, frizzy and dry, so you can imagine how difficult it is for me to get my hair just the way I want it; straight, smooth, shiny and vibrant.
The problem with most hair straighteners is they leave your hair really dry and lifeless looking, with that straight but frizzy look. You know, when your hair is straight, but there are rogue strands of hair not sitting in right. What we really want is for our hair to be completely smooth and straight, but I just couldn’t get that no matter how long I spent, how many products I used, or what straighteners I tried.
Smooth Straight Hair
I actually discovered the GHD hair straighteners by chance while I was out shopping one evening. I was buying some perfume and the girl at the counter had the most perfect long, smooth, shiny, straight hair I’d ever seen, so I asked her what hair straighteners she used and if her hair is like that naturally.
She told me that her hair is normally really curly and frizzy! I couldn’t believe it, but she had no reason to lie, and in fact I’d have expected her to lie and say her hair was naturally straight even if it wasn’t. She went on to tell me that she uses GHD hair straighteners, and she explained that they’re not like other straighteners that dry your hair out because they use a special type of ceramic plate with a unique smooth finish that will make your hair extra straight and leave it shiny.
I shopped around that day to see if I could find them, but they’re actually very difficult to find in the shops, because as I later found out there are only a few authorized dealers that are allowed to sell the GHD straighteners. I managed to get mine here, from Amazon, since they’re one of the GHD authorized dealers and that meant I was also able to read all the positive reviews from users on Amazon which confirmed exactly what the girl in the shop had told me.
GHD IV Hair Straighteners Features
You’ll find all the details about the product on Amazon’s page as well as the user reviews, but I’ll tell you some of the important features here:
- Safety feature. It’ll turn off after 30 minutes if you accidently leave it on while rushing about to get ready for your night out. This is a life saver for me.
- On/Off switch, so you don’t have to unplug it to switch it off.
- It’s got a rounder barrel, so you can play about with different styles.
That’s really the main features you need to know about and other than that it does exactly what it’s supposed to do; create straight, sleek, shiny and vibrant hair styles that look like you’ve just come out the salon. The 100’s of 5 star reviews on Amazon speak for themselves, GHD’s hair straighteners are simply the best in the world today.
