Classic Wide Iron, Wide Plate Ceramic Hair Straighteners, Black | 100-200°C heat, 7 settings, Spring-Flex floating plates, frizz control, thick or long hair, fast styling, effortless glide

I recently sold my old GHD straighteners to upgrade to the latest model and was extremely disappointed with the results. After doing some research, I discovered that many people felt the newer GHDs weren't quite as good as the originals. That led me to try Cloud Nine. Founded in 2009 by hairdresser and businessman Robert Powls, who is also recognised as the original founder of GHD, Cloud Nine seemed like a promising alternative. I'm so glad I made the switch—these straighteners are amazing! They remind me of the old GHDs that made the brand so popular in the first place. They heat up quickly, glide through the hair effortlessly, and leave my hair smooth and sleek. If you're disappointed with the newer GHD models, I would highly recommend giving Cloud Nine a try.

These straighteners are AMAZING - I don’t know why I waited so long to invest in these. Delivery was seamless, arrived earlier than expected. The only drawback would be Cloud Nine’s system to register for their warranty, which isn’t nearly as quick or easy to navigate as the system over at ghd Hair. (Specifically, the requirement to provide an Amazon invoice or order confirmation.) Fortunately I was able to get help from a very nice customer service agent, so all good now.

Excellent value. Does a great job on my thick frizzy hair. Not as large, king as my ghd ones.

I have always been a diehard GHD fan. When mine finally 'gave up the ghost', I decided to do a bit of research before jumping in and buying another pair. Then the Cloud Nine reviews caught my eye! I was a bit dubious about switching to a brand I hadn't tried before, but decided to give them a go - purely based on the overwhelming positive reviews I had read. The next decision was whether or not to go for the wide plates. This was a much harder decision for me! I really didn't want to find them too bulky and cumbersome. In the end, looking at the measurements on a ruler (!) the actual width of the wide plates is 4cm - and I figured that this wasn't much wider than the regular GHDs I was used to! In fact, I think the regular cloud nines may have proved too thin and time consuming. So the verdict... I made 100% the right decision going for these straighteners! I can straighten my hair much quicker than before and I have no complaints at all about the quality of the Cloud Nines. They glide through my hair and never snag. (My hair is prone to frizz and quite thick). I tend to use the highest heat setting for my hair, but I do like the variable heat options as it means I can also use the straighteners on my 9 year old daughters hair - on a much lower setting. My only negative comment would be that the straighteners don't come with a heat proof mat. I definitely recommend these straighteners!

Really nice to use they don’t “drag your hair” they are really smooth but still getting used to using them Great heat levels

They are good for long frizzy hair

I purchased these for the same reason as the majority of reviews here- my beloved GHDs had started to loose it after after 12 years service and I needed to replace them. However modern day GHDs just dont feel to be of the same standard as mine and certainly didnt feel like they'd last 12years. I took a gamble and ordered these after reading that the same people who started GHD when I bought mine moved on to create cloud 9. These straighteners are amazing! I have huge loose curls, incredibly thick, very wiry hair made up of course and fine sections. My hair is natural multi shades of blonde to strawberry because of the different textures and this means it has a tendency to frizz- and if theres moisture in the air it going to get bigger and curlier as the day progresses (some days it's so big I'm amazed I can fit through a door 😉). After 3 weeks of use in the winter I can honestly say Cloud Nine straighteners are incredible! My hair stays long and smooth, with less tendency for the curls to come back. I've never known my hair look so good! Even on a beach walk in the drizzle - I came back with hair that was long, not frizzy and slight kinks in it. Normally the curls would have returned within 30mins and it looses 6ins in length to the frizz. Incredible product with lasting results.

Brilliant straighteners. Been a GHD user for years including platinum ones, every pair through the years always ended up giving up on me so decided to change the brand this time. I prefer the slightly wider plates and my hair looks really healthy and sleek. They also came with a silicon heat guard and a lovely carry case for storing/travelling so much better value. I think I’ll be sticking to this brand from now on.

Best hair straightener I have bought so far. Highly recommend.
