Many shoppers who have treated themselves to these straighteners say “they have a really nice feel to them like a good quality product without the big price tag” – and at £32.99, they’re a total steal.
Having accrued a 4.6 star rating on Amazon and over 1700 five star reviews, the straighteners are certainly a hit, with one happy hair care fan stating: “Ok so I have long wavy/frizzy hair and it’s quite thick. I have been straightening my hair for at least 16 years and have gotten through endless pairs of straighteners, including GHDs.
“In my honest opinion, these are better than GHDs, not only because of value for money, but they heat up quickly and they glide through my hair like butter and make it look so shiny. I’ve had a lot of compliments since using them and would definitely recommend!”
Echoing the praise, another shopper added: “Didn’t want to spend an extortionate £100 on GHD’s so after reading the reviews on this I thought I’d try these. I can’t believe how smooth they left my hair!!! Lovely colour, love the wraparound wallet for it too. Good value for money, highly recommended!”
“After using GHD’s for years & spending hundreds. I bought these for a holiday abroad, not wanting to risk loosing the GHDS in our flight. Wow.. so impressed & happy to stay with my new found straighteners,” remarked another.
Although it wasn’t all high praise as one Amazon customer was left disappointed when they found them not to be as ‘smooth’ as expected. They said: “The blades are not smooth enough and they pull the hair while straightening.”
Another, who uses the straighteners to both straighten and curl their hair, added: “Doesn’t hold curl very well on short hair.” That being said, they noted: “However the plates are super sleek and they have a good weight to them. The pink is lovely and the bag holds the heat well.”
Amazon isn’t the only place to find some pretty epic deals on straighteners with the price of Remington’s Shine Therapy Hair Straighteners dropped to £21.45 from £79 here. Alternatively, fans of GHD can get their hands on some of its straighteners for less in the brand’s limited time deals. For example, you can save 25% on the GHD Max Hair Straighter and Platinum+ here.
