'Salon quality' ghd straightener cut to under £100 in 'limited' Amazon deal
The limited time deal covers the latest version of the cult-classic styling tool that is loved by professionals.
If there's one hair brand that has remained a cult-favourite, it's ghd. Famed for its range of styling tools, its beloved Original Straightener remains a bestseller.
Said to provide "salon quality" with an expensive trip to the hairdresser, this straightener often retails at £140, although Amazon has just knocked it to under £100. But shoppers will need to act fast, as it will be available for a "limited" time only.
The online giant has just dropped the cost of the upgraded version of ghd's cult-classic styling tool to just £99.99, saving 28 percent and £40 overall. Considering it's still full price on the brand's website, it's not a deal to miss.
The latest version of the ghd Original Straightener now boasts updated technology and an improved design that still allows it to deliver "the trusted ghd performance" that has become loved and recommended by professionals.
Now using new generation single-zone ceramic technology to ensure equal heat distribution of 185C across both plates, it provides "long lasting" results without causing any heat damage and frizz.
The iconic golden floating plates offer a smooth gloss coating to provide a "shiny" finish, while the rounded-barrel shape of the styling tool is perfect for versatile styling creating soft waves, bouncy curls and poker straight locks.
Looking for something a bit more affordable? Then the viral Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener, £36.99 at Boots, has become famed for its vitamin E-infused floating plates that deliver shine that "lasts for days."
Another deal that hair fans won't want to miss is Lookfantastic's 50 per cent discount on the BaByliss Rose Blush Straightener, now £45, that is said to leave hair silky smooth and frizz-free "in just one stroke."
As for the ghd Original Straightener itself, it has managed to amass over 2,300 reviews on Amazon, earning it a 4.6 rating. Shoppers have praised it as a "game changer" with results that make it look like you have "stepped out of a salon."
One five-star review read: "Salon quality results with ghd Original Straightener. I absolutely love the ghd straighteners. The heat settings are perfect, providing just the right amount of heat to straighten and style without causing any extreme heat damage.
"It works wonderfully to create sleek, smooth, and soft hair with an impressive shine, just like you'd get from a professional salon. I purchased this after retiring my old straightener, which lasted over 10 years, and upgrading to GHD is a game changer!
Beauty deal of the week
Beauty fans looking to get a golden glow will know the benefit of tanning drops.
One bottle that has "blown away" shoppers is the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops - and they cost under £11 a bottle.
Ideal for those who don't want to go through the hassle of using a tanning mitt to prevent patchiness or orange-tones, these "lightweight" drops can be easily mixed into your favourite moisturiser for a flawless glow.
Since the drops offer a "buildable" bronzed look, many reviews have suggested that one of the positives is the ability to "control" the depth of their tan, unlike other products that deliver just one specific shade.
Enriched with skin-loving ingredients hyaluronic acid and coconut water, these Garnier drops also work to keep your skin "intensely moisturised" day by day.
Of course, with the reputation Garnier's Natural Bronzer Face Drops have earned, it's no surprise they have 4.2 rating based on over 2,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers call them a "little bottle of magic" for a "natural sun-kissed glow."
One purchaser said: "Blown away! I'm not a phaffer. I generally don't bother with things like tan and bronzer. But this little bottle of magic changed all that! I love it! I pop it on with my moisturiser and a couple of hours later I am actually glowing!
"I've been asked repeatedly if I've been on holiday, lost weight, got a new person, had a facelift or found a genie in a bottle. I'm so scared of running out I've stocked up!!"
Shop the Garnier Ambre Solaire Natural Bronzer Self Tan Face Drops for £10.67 on Amazon here.
"It's reliable, easy to use, and delivers flawless results every time. If you're looking for a high-quality straightener that combines performance with longevity, I'd highly recommend this one. It's worth every penny!"
A similar review echoed: "I've wanted a pair of ghd straighteners for ages but they were expensive. I decided to treat myself after all these years and so pleased I did.
"When you straighten your hair it looks like you've just stepped out a salon. Finish your hair with a little hair oil/serum for the perfect sleek look."
One shopper didn't find the quality to be up to standard, writing: "I don't think the quality is as good as the original ones I bought over 10yrs ago. They feel cheap and aren't as smooth through the hair."
By comparison, someone who preferred the newer version wrote: "These ghd straighteners are based on the original excellent iconic ones from 2001. Now with updated technology they are one of the best. Heating to 185C, which is optimum temperature to protect hair, they straighten, create waves, and even curl the hair leaving it shiny and healthy."
And someone else raved: "I don't know why it took me so long to get some GHDs. My hair is so much sleeker and stays straight and sleek for days after. My hair is prone to frizz when I use heat but these pretty much eliminate the frizz!"

I've found the perfect subscription gift for difficult dads this Father's Day – it's FREE for a month
FATHER'S Day is fast approaching, but dads aren't always the easiest to buy for. But I've found the perfect solution: a 30-day free trial of Audible, with plans starting at just £5.99 a month after. 1 If your dad is anything like mine, finding the right gift can feel like a bit of a mission. Whenever I ask him what he'd like, I get the same familiar, 'I don't need anything,' response. It's one of those answers that's both endearing and maddening, making the whole gift-giving process feel more complicated. This year, though, I think I've found the perfect solution in Amazon's Audible subscription. Having used Audible myself for the better part of a year, I can confidently say it's an ideal gift for dads who are impossible to shop for. And with Father's Day just around the corner on June 15th, it's what I'll be gifting my dad this year. It's something he wouldn't think to buy for himself, and honestly, it beats yet another 'Best Dad' mug or novelty socks by a mile. The standard Audible subscription starts with a 30-day free trial and includes one audiobook per month, all for just £5.99 after the trial ends. If you're feeling generous or just want to make a bigger impression, the premium plan is worth considering. With a premium subscription, your dad receives one credit each month to select any audiobook he wants, which he can keep even after the membership ends. Plus, there's unlimited access to over 10,000 additional titles and Audible Originals through the Plus Catalogue. That's the option I'm going with, because it feels like a thoughtful gift, even if you're buying at the twelfth hour. It gives him a whole month to explore Audible's library, while giving me a chance to give a gift that feels more personal. If your dad's new to audiobooks and not sure where to start, Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey is a great shout, with a mix of stories, reflections, and odd bits of wisdom. My own dad is a huge footie fan, with a small collection of football memoirs. There are loads of great ones on Audible, including Alex Ferguson's leadership lessons or Steven Gerrard's stories from the pitch. But whether he's more into fiction or thrillers, the bestseller section is full of options that'll keep him entertained. All in all, Audible is a solid, no-fuss gift that shows you've thought about what he'd enjoy and will get you in his good books.

Boots reduces 'clean and fresh' 200ml aftershave in 50% off deal for Father's Day
With Father's Day just over a week away, those in search of the perfect present may want to check out a deal on a "classic" aftershave at Boots. Customers adore this aftershave for both daytime and evening wear. It comes in a substantial bottle that's bound to last, and it is now available for a fraction of its usual cost, too. All sizes of Rabanne Invictus Eau De Toilette ( 50ml / 100ml ) are on offer, but the 200ml bottle is the real star of this offer. It's currently half its regular £129 price tag (now £64.50), and it's going through at the checkout much cheaper than the 100ml bottle, which is priced at £79. Boots has not given a clear time on how long this online-exclusive deal for the "ultimate clean fragrance" will last. However, the website indicates high demand, with scores of shoppers viewing and purchasing the product, so people should not wait to secure their bottle. For those seeking a premium aftershave at a more affordable price, there are plenty of other deals around. Superdrug is offering BOSS Bottled Night Eau de Toilette (200ml for £52, reduced from £119) or The Fragrance Shop has Gucci Guilty Essence (90ml for £44.99, down from £97). However, Boots stands out as the retailer with one of the biggest discounts on the popular Rabanne scent. It boasts thousands of reviews from customers, with many giving it the maximum five-star rating, reports the Mirror. (Image: Boots) One reviewer said: "This is a lovely and wonderfully-smelling scent to give as a gift." Another added: "Definitely my favourite with how clean and fresh it makes you smell all day long." A third posted: "Great value for money! Amazing smell and an absolute classic." Paco Rabanne first released the Invictus fragrance back in 2013. The popular scent has since evolved with body sprays and shower gels to match the notes of fresh grapefruit, marine accord and guaiac wood. However, some customers had issues with the scent. One claimed: "I was very disappointed with this scent. It was extremely weak and you could hardly know it was on". Another suggested: "Not strong. The smell isn't very noticeable after 20 mins". A third said that "it smelled like soap". (Image:) But, another person who granted the fragrance a top rating commented: "The quality is amazing, this has a fresh smell and it lasts all day." A fifth five-star reviewer said: "It's perfect! It smells nice and is perfect! Can be used both during the day and in the evening. It is long-lasting." Boots has a range of other fragrance deals that might pique interest if people are considering gifting their dads a bottle of aftershave this Father's Day. Our shopping team recently spotlighted a 'bargain' Calvin Klein spray worth £70 that has been reduced to £28. Another popular gift idea is a watch-it can be cherished for years to come and doesn't have to break the bank. Debenhams recently slashed the price of this 'stylish' £510 watch to £79 just in time for Father's Day.
