Colours:
The 'birds of paradise' collection offers three incredible
colours; turquoise/teal, pink/coral and of course the one I have which is purple/indigo. Just like if you have your hair ombre, you can now have your straightener match with these three colour combinations blending two shades together. Heat Settings:
There is only one heat setting as it is self-regulating but it varies between 175-185 degrees which ghd says is the optimum temperature to style your hair.
Safety Settings:
This styler actually has a sleep mode so if you leave your straightener turned on, after half an hour if it hasn't been used it will beep. Then it will eventually go into sleep mode where the plates cool down and the heat stops. This is such a great safety function to have and I think it's really unique.
Cord:
Little things like the cord really do make a difference, especially if you're using it every day so you will be pleased to know that it has a generously long cord and it's swivel which makes life so much easier because it allows for more movement and prevents tangling.
Voltage:
It has a universal voltage so with an adapter you can plug it in at most places in the world without blowing it up.
Heat Distribution:
The main problem with curling your hair with a hair straightener is usually that the heat isn't even throughout the straightener because it doesn't get as hot on the outside. Fortunately, with this straightener there is a very even distribution of heat so you can actually get a really good curl because the plastic around the outside heats up as well.
Quick Heat:
This styler heats up crazily fast, within 30
seconds but usually quicker than that.
Usage:
So what
makes a ghd so incredible is that they are super versatile; they aren't just a
hair straightener! Due to the rounded barrel, the style can also be used to
create curls.
Longevity:
The great thing
about ghd's are that they will last you a really long time; I'm talking 6-10
years!
Warranty:
If something
does go wrong with your styler there is a 2 year guarantee where you can send it
back and get another one. I have done this in the past when one of my ghd's stopped heating up and customer service was amazing. They had a new one sent out to me within a fortnight.
Plates:
The ceramic coated
plates assist the styler to heat up and also leaves a sleek and shiny finish on
your hair. Something else which is awesome is that the plates are flexible which
allows for more movement and is less likely to pull or tug on your hair.
Price:
The stylers from the 'Bird of Paradise' retail
for $249 and that may seem like a lot of money for a hair tool but when you
think about how long it's going to last you, it's definitely a worthwhile
investment.
I hope that you found this review helpful.
