ghd Platinum+ Styler ― 1" Flat Iron Hair Straightener, Professional Ceramic Hair Styling Tool for Stronger Hair, More Shine, & More Color Protection ― Black

I’ve used quite a few flat irons over the years, and the ghd Platinum+ definitely stands out. It feels like a professional tool right from the start heats up quickly and glides through the hair very smoothly without pulling or snagging. What I noticed right away is how even the heat feels. It straightens my hair in fewer passes compared to cheaper irons I’ve used, which I really appreciate because it feels less damaging overall. My hair looks smoother, shinier, and stays styled longer. I also like that it’s easy to use simple on/off, no complicated settings, and it just works consistently every time. Pros: Smooth glide with no pulling Heats up fast and maintains even temperature Leaves hair shiny and frizz-free Feels like a true salon-quality tool Minor downside: It is on the pricier side, but in my opinion, the performance and results justify the cost. Overall, this is one of those tools where you can really see and feel the difference. If you style your hair regularly, it’s definitely worth the upgrade.

Last month I travelled to the UK for a wedding - I brought my North American T3 straightener and unfortunately the AC converter / adapter I used, didn't work and blew my straightener! I needed to purchase a new one - I went to a hair salon and purchased the ghd Classic Original - not cheap! But wow! I was so impressed with this iron! Came back home and still needed a straightener I can use with a North American plug. Looked into the ghd line and splurged! I purchased the ghd Platinum+ ... I've never looked back! I've been using a straightener for over 30 years - I've owned a few! This is truly the best straightener I've ever owned! My hair is shiny, silky smooth! Yes, even better than the ghd Classic Original! The iron heats up incredibly fast. I would highly recommend this straightening iron - yes, it is expensive - but it is so worth it!

Best hair straightener ever !!

I find this straightener well worth the money - simple to use (you don't even have to select a heat setting) and unlike my other straightener, there are no accidental burns slipping down it as the wishbone feature makes using it very easy and lessens the strain on your hand. Heats up in 30 seconds too so you don't have to leave it plugged in waiting for it to get up to temperature. I have thick, coarse, wavy hair and this straightener works to straighten it quickly without damaging it. I use it every day. I was worried it wouldn't be authentic but I registered it right away and it registers as authentic so if buying directly from Amazon you will be okay in getting a genuine product.

It's a shame that requesting a warranty outside the US is so complicated. I registered my product as soon as I bought it, but the cable tag isn't there because it's too cumbersome to leave it there. So, when registering, they ask for the serial number, so at this point, a tag should be irrelevant. I have to pay for shipping to the US, which is expensive, which makes me deeply disappointed when buying such an expensive product with such poor customer service. I just bought a Remington for less than $40, and its performance and straightening are superior, without any effort, like applying pressure or anything like that. The straightening lasts until I wash my hair again, and of course, it's much lighter. I can't believe I paid so much and feel like I wasted my money. When you buy "quality" at a high price, you expect superior customer service, but in this case, that doesn't apply at all.
