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!!"

"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!"
