ghd Platinum+ Styler - Professional Smart Hair Straighteners, Wishbone Hinge, Ultra Gloss Plates

I bought this for my wife recently as her original GHD Platinum+ styler has finally given up the ghost after many years of regular use. The GHD Platinum+ was the styler recommended by her hairdresser many years ago, and he is still recommending it to this day! I think this shows how well-regarded they are in top-level, professional hairdressing circles. This version came with a variety of extras such as a brush, some hair styling spray and a neat heat-resistant bag to hold it all in. The Bodyguard hair spray is used to keep the hair safe from damage due to heat, and the All Rounder Paddle Brush is the perfect companion for brushing the hair into smooth, glossy styles. Despite its expensive price, I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this styler to anyone with discerning taste and a desire to own such a professional piece of kit.

I’m one of those people that doesn’t normally leave reviews but when something is that good you feel you need to share it!I bought these straighteners as an upgrade to my GHD V Gold straighteners & wow what an upgrade. The significant difference for me can be broken down into 2 very simple main features - the new hot plates which frankly cause the straighteners to just glide through your hair - no pulling & certainly no catching hair in the unit itself of which I’d seen reviews saying this had happened. Secondly the body of the straighteners stays cool, which is a great feature. I will point out my Gold straighteners were max (wide plates) and the platinum+ are the standard slimmer plates. I instantly felt more control & could get closer to the roots this avoiding the ‘ridge’ at the top & back of my hair.I have long thick naturally curly hair & 30 mins of straightening, which is around the same length of time I would straighten my hair, and my hair was straight, glossy & felt amazing. No frizz & my hair stayed straight all day, in fact the straightest I’ve ever known it, in fact I didn’t even use any product on my hair. For *coughs loudly* years I’ve struggled with thick frizzy hair and this I can honestly say is a game changer!! I was reluctant to spend more money when I had a perfectly good set of straighteners but I am so glad I have!I also took the Prime deal to pay over 5 months - it’s a no brainer!

I have been using ghd original straightener since 2008, which is still brilliant device and makes wonders on my hair. I got this ghd platinum iron as a treat for myself, it leaves my thick hair shiny and super smooth, curling is also very easy and long lasting. Brush is great and does not damage my hair, the bag is super stylish and not bulky at all, keeps everything organized ❤️

She loves them, miles better than her previous straighteners. Heats up fast and she likes the results of using them.

I was always getting the original classic GHDs when I was ready for a new pair, so I was dubious to try a different set. These are fab though, so I'm so pleased. Tried them out at a GHD stand at a department store, and talked through the options. These are better for regular use on hair, as not as damaging to your hair. My worry was the grip on the hair, but these are perfect. Grip my hair well, easy to hold and use. I like to curl my hair with straighteners, and these are even better than my previous ones as they have a curved design so easier to manoeuvre and get those curls.

For hair straightening this product is brilliant. But the gap at the end of the plates catches your hair if you’re not careful and snaps it. I am amazed that such a great product is let down by this kind of issue. Very strange. It can be avoided but really it shouldn’t be happening at all. I will keep the straighteners and be careful as they are great in all other aspects but will be letting Ghd know. I see others have found the same thing ..

Having bought these to replace my Scarlet edition GHDs that are nearly 10 years old and, understandably, starting to get a bit worn, I am over the moon! I really didn't expect there to be much difference but these are so worth the price, the plates are slippery smooth and heat up quicker than it takes me to run a brush through my medium length hair. My hair is very thick and naturally wavy/curly - and not very obedient, but I had it looking and feeling like a sheet of silk in about 3 minutes. I bought these because since my first set of GHDs around 20 years ago nothing comes close in quality, but I was quite sceptical of the promised 20% more shine. However, I can't argue with the results. My hair (washed after swimming, a steam room and sauna session then hastily blow dried after using just a shampoo bar, no conditioner!) looked like something out of an advert, I was swinging my hair in front of my mirror so surprised by the shine on it!If you're hesitating about paying the extra for the platinum version I highly recommend you do it, especially if you're considering sacrificing the higher spec model for one of the colour editions (they do look pretty, but I'd rather spend my money on the results rather than an on trend colour version of a tool that's kept in my bedroom drawers) If the previous GHDs I've owned are to judge by it's an investment for at least a decades worth of unbeatable sleekly styled hair. I have also kept the box it comes in - I actually still have the large wooden padded red satin box that came with my Scarlet edition years ago, but this one is still quite sturdy and large enough to store sectioning clips, heat pad etc. Now that I've given myself a YouTube crash course on how to create salon worthy curls and waves I'm very excited to see the results I can accomplish with this!
