If you've been holding out for a deal on a quality hair tool, now's the time to act. Amazon has dropped the price of the upgraded ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler to £88.19, down from its regular £139.00, in a Prime Day deal, giving users a saving of £50 on one of the most respected names in haircare.
The ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler comes with upgraded technology and improved design while staying true to the cult classic that launched the ghd brand.
Designed for sleek, smooth and soft styles with enhanced shine, it uses single-zone ceramic technology to maintain a consistent temperature of 185C, hot enough for lasting results, but gentle enough to prevent extreme heat damage.
Suitable for all hair types, the straightener's rounded barrel allows for versatility, whether creating straight styles, soft waves or curls. Its iconic golden floating plates are coated for a glossy finish and a smoother glide.
It heats up in 30 seconds and features a 30-minute automatic sleep mode.
This model is especially suited to those newer to stylers, providing ease of use without sacrificing performance.
For alternatives, the REMINGTON Pro Ceramic S5525 Extra Wide Hair Straightener offers good value at £34.99, down from £69.99 on Currys, and is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars by 66 users.
At the higher end, the Cloud Nine The Contouring Original Iron is priced at £299 on Boots website and has earned a 4.4-star rating from 165 reviews.
But for those after the ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler's legacy and reliability, it remains a popular pick with consistently high praise. It has received 4.6 stars out of 5 with over 4.4k reviews.
One customer described it as a major upgrade: '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's reliable, easy to use, and delivers flawless results every time... It's worth every penny!'
However, another buyer shared disappointment after a few months of use: 'I brought these after my other pair broke. These straighteners have only lasted me a few months... one of the heat plates has stopped working and the death red circle light has come on... maybe I was just the unlucky one who had a dodgy pair.'
The simplicity and performance continue to win over many: 'These straighteners are brilliant, the best on the market. Make your hair so smooth when you've used them.'

That said, some noted differences in build quality compared to older models: 'Although these work really well they are weirdly light and at first I wondered if they were knock offs... My previous pair came with a silicon holder which these don't... feel weird to hold but work well.'
Others praised its hair-friendly design: 'I prefer ghd straighteners to other brands as they glide smoothly and don't pull the hair at all. They operate at a lower temperature to others, which is better for hair, but do a better job.'
While there are occasional concerns about build or packaging, the majority of reviewers commend the ghd Original for delivering salon-like results at home with minimal effort. It continues to be a reliable, go-to tool for both everyday styling and special occasions.

Amazon's reduce best-selling vacuum shoppers say is 'better than Shark' to £150
Buyers claim the discounted cleaning gadget rivals big name brands. Amazon has slashed the price of one of its top-selling vacuum cleaners, which customers have compared to pricier models from Dyson and Shark. The Ultenic U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner usually sells for £239.99 but is currently on offer for just £149.99. The cordless vacuum cleaner boasts a 600W brushless motor and advanced noise reduction technology, promising to operate 40 percent quieter than traditional models. The floor brush features a four-layer design: stiff bristles (for collecting carpet hair), V-shaped silicone flaps (for deeper cleaning), soft PP bristles (to capture fine dust particles), and durable nylon (to remove pet hair and prevent tangling). Ultenic's U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner comes with an extendable arm to reach difficult areas such as under low furniture. The floor brush is equipped with an integrated green light to expose hidden dust. Meanwhile, over at Shark, shoppers can find discounts on bundle deals. For example, this Classic Upright Cleaning Bundle includes a corded upright vacuum cleaner, with two floor modes, and a corded floor mop with three settings. Normally priced at £369.98, it is currently on sale for £281, reports the Mirror. Dyson also has some offers available, including a discount on its best-selling V11 Advanced vacuum. It has been reduced by £80, now available for £349.99, down from £429.99. Shoppers looking to invest in a robot vacuum can snag a bargain at Argos, where the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Cordless Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop is currently on offer for £240, down from its original price of £400, saving them a hefty £160. Although the same deal was available on Shark's website, the gadget has since sold out. The Ultenic U20 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner boasts an impressive customer satisfaction score of 4.8 from Amazon users, with over 1,000 reviews to its name. A satisfied customer praised it as a 'lovely vacuum' with 'good suction', adding: "I have always had a Dyson or Shark. But this is a great alternative, and to be honest, I think it is better than my Shark one." Homewares deal of the week Looking to beat the heat as temperatures continue to rise? Then look no further than Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that has an almost perfect five star rating for its small, yet mighty, design that means it works "even on the lowest setting." Easy to connect via a USB cable that can be connected to laptops and computers, this desk fan is perfect for those who find themselves working from home on these sweaty, humid summer days. However, it doesn't need to remain plugged-in, as the rechargeable element and compact six-inch design means it can be taken anywhere, even placed on a bedside table overnight on summer nights thanks to its "quiet" operation. It's finished with four speed settings to choose from and an adjustable angle that can help direct the cool breeze where it is needed, unlike other models that can sometimes be stuck in one place. As for Dunelm's own mini desk fan, it has received an impressive 4.8 rating from impressed shoppers who say that, despite its size, it is "surprisingly powerful" and "a literal life-saver" during this kind of weather. One five-star review read: "Fantastic fan, surprisingly powerful, quiet, lasts for quite a long time when charged, very hard to find a decent small rechargeable fan but this is it, will be buying more!" Beat the heat with Dunelm's White Rechargeable USB Desk Fan that costs just £25. Another shopper expressed their contentment, stating they were 'far very pleased with it'. They elaborated: "To try it out, I started vacuuming the house (I had already done it the day before) and couldn't believe how much dust, etc it picked up. The lights on it let you see where the dust is." Continuing their praise, the same buyer remarked: "It is excellent on the stairs, using it hand-held and the pull-out brush. Having previously had a Dyson and a Shark I would say this cleaner is better. "Great that it stands upright too. Coped very well with picking up pet hair and did not get tangled in brush." However, some customers encountered issues with suction power, with one noting: "Very lightweight and easy to set up. Battery life is accurately described. "However, it is not a particularly powerful suction vacuum cleaner. You need to run over the same area several times to get a suitable clean." Another customer stated: "Having previously had a Shark cordless vacuum, I was looking to replace like for like. However, having read all the positive reviews on the Ultenic U20, I decided to go for it. "The Ultenic arrived the next day and was super easy to put together. It's lightweight with a decent-sized dust bin that's really easy to empty and clean."

Amazon to add 'Printed in Dunstable' label to millions of books
The name of the town where Amazon prints its books will now feature on millions of paperbacks, the company has said a "Printed in Dunstable, United Kingdom" label would be added to the books. The decision follows a campaign by Alex Mayer, the Labour MP for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, who said she wanted the town in Bedfordshire to receive the recognition it deserved. The US firm said it would celebrate "the area's continuing contribution to the UK publishing industry". Amazon said the Dunstable plant, which opened in 2015 and operated around the clock, employs more than 200 people. It is responsible for printing thousands of titles each day, from well-known works to debuts by self-published authors. As part of her campaign, Mayer said she wrote a children's story called The Book Who Searched, which follows a book who struggles to discover where they were printed. "I challenged Amazon to make my story come true, and I'm really delighted they have done just that," she said. "Now every year millions of books will say that they're printed in Dunstable. "It's a real boost for civic pride." Zak Watts, Amazon books UK country manager, said Dunstable has a "proud history". "This new addition reflects our commitment to the local community that has supported us."He thanked Mayer "for the idea" to include the town in the printing process and also praised the town's "skilled workforce".
