ghd straightener that 'glides through hair' now under £100
The ghd Original Hair Straightener promises to heat up fast with plates that glide through hair without pulling out strands A good hair day depends on various factors and while shampoo and conditioner provide a good level of nourishment, the use of a quality hair tool can have a more significant impact on achieving style outcomes. ghd's Original Hair Straightener is an iconic hair tool that everyone was talking about during the YouTube beauty boom in the early 2000s. The popular product made it easy to get salon-like results, delivering sleek, smooth and shiny hair, without the risk of extreme heat damage. For a limited time, the straightener is down to a lower price on Amazon, reducing from £139 to £97.99 - a saving of 30%. Shoppers can find the ghd Original on the brand's official website at full price (£139), or at Boots (reduced to £97.99). The hair tool has had a few upgrades since it was first launched in 2001, with the latest version featuring single-zone ceramic technology, to maintain an optimum temperature of 185°C across both styling plates. The rounded barrel helps users to effortlessly create soft waves, bouncy curls or poker-straight looks, while the golden floating plates add a glossy appearance to tresses. ghd's straightener has received a high 4.6 out of five star rating on Amazon, one loyal customer shared: "Last pair gave up after 20 years. Love these, I like the little tune when they are up to full heat. Glide through my hair. The only thing I need to get used to, is they have a curved outer case and don't sit like the others. I just use a silicone mat. Here's to the next 20 years." Another loved the fast 30-second heat up and automatic sleep mode, commenting: " Heats ups quickly and light weight which is what I needed now." A third mentioned that the plates are smooth enough to "glide through the hair without pulling". In need of a quick styling? Cloud Nine's The New Original Iron heats up in 20 seconds and has 11 temperature settings between 100 and 200°C. Currently on offer with £50 saving, shoppers can get this online for £169 instead of £219. LookFantastic has reduced the price of BaByliss Super Styler Hair Straightener from £125 to £43.75 - a whopping 65% off but one shopper said: "It requires a lot of pulling on your hair to get them to move down it." ghd has been rated the UK's number-one straightener brand and its Original Hair Straightener is loved and recommended by hair professionals. One hairdresser detailed: "I use this on my clients for everything - straightening, curling, beach wave, straight bob - you name it. It is light to use and it doesn't damage the hair. I made wavy looks using this as well and my client can't believe it." Another removed a star from their review, saying: "I bought this a few weeks ago , they are great, but the plug is very small to grab hold of, when trying to unplug from stock it's quite hard." Someone else found casing material 'plasticky and cheap' and preferred the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener instead, which is down to £229 (was £239). The ghd Original Hair Straightener is available on Amazon for £97.99 instead of £139.

This is the best hair straightener I've ever used – it's secretly on sale now
As a kid who grew up in the nineties, I still remember the day our household upgraded from straightening our hair with an iron (yes, really) to using a ghd. It was the turn of the millennia and my cooler, older sister presented us with an all-black, gold plated hair tool that was about to change our hair game for good. A lot has changed since the brand launched its revolutionary Korean-inspired tool to market 24 years ago, and while the trailblazing ghd Original Hair Straightener is still available to buy today (testament to its brilliance), the pioneering haircare brand has widened its portfolio of straighteners to include new-gen stylers and my personal favourite is the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener, which is now just £144.39 (was £239) in the Amazon Prime Day sale. As one of the biggest shopping events of the year, there are a number of stellar beauty deals up for grab. If you are unsure of where to make a worthy investment, I'm here to remind you that the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener is a smart choice. On offer with a 40% off discount, making a play for this leading industry pacemaker isn't just easy on your pocket, but on your hair, too. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, using the ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener ghd defines this particular innovation as its 'smart hair straightener'. Smart how exactly? It is built with an ultra-zone™ that features predictive technology, which cleverly recognises the thickness of your hair and the speed at which you are styling in order to deliver the optimum temperature of 185°C (AKA ghd's research-backed sweet spot). It also measures temperatures 250 times per second byway of infinity sensors embedded in the plates to adjust the heat and power according to your hair needs. The result is 70% stronger hair, 75% more shine, and 2x more colour protection, according to the brand's survey results. Sameeha Shaikh, beauty writer, says: 'I am a real ghd stan. I was only seven when the brand launched and yet when the ghd Original Hair Straightener made its way into our home, I was acutely aware of the fact that it was a prized possession that we were lucky to have. Now 31, I still reach for the brand's bestsellers and when I want a super sleek straight look I reach for this like second nature. It instantly takes my hair from fluffy and wavy to smooth in one quick pass and I'm usually done and dusted within 10 minutes, not bad considering I have ultra long, thick lengths. But it's the versatility of the tool I love most, if I want to switch things up, the rounded barrel (another notable upgrade from the OG straightener) makes it very easy to create glossy curls and waves. There is good reason why ghd has owned the hair straightener market for two decades and this tool is the proof.' 1. ghd Platinum+ Hair Straightener Price: £144.39 (was £239) Now available with a 40% discount, if you are looking for a worthy investment amid the Amazon Prime Day sales, this straightener should be at the stop of your list. Defined at the haircare pioneering brand's most 'smart hair straightener', it controls power and temperature throughout every styling session to ensure your specific hair needs are met. If glossy, smooth, healthy locks are your MO, look no further.
