GHD V Styler Review

I have coveted a pair of GHD's for years but have never wanted to splash out over £100 for the straightners. I have always relied on my trusty Babyliss Pro 235 Elegance straightners, which have done the job really well for 3 years, but now they are old and worn, with chipped plates, so I have decided to splash out.

I decided to go for a limited edition styler, purely because I wanted something colourful for my dressing table, sad I know! This is exactly the same as the IV styler, it just has a different name as it is a newer edition. The straightner I have chosen is metalic silver, with nice detailing along the sides. The plates are black and very thin, in comparison to my Babyliss straightners, so this makes it easier to use the straightners for curling and doing fringes etc. The on/off is triggered by the slide up button inside the straigtners and they heat up within a matter of seconds, which is great if you are in a rush, which most of us are in the morning! A great safety feature they possess, is that if they are left unattended for more than 30 minutes then they turn themselves off. This is great is you leave the house and worry if you haven't turned them off. They also come with a 2 year guarantee, which is great for an electrical item. 

Now, onto how they work on the hair. I have fine hair so I just use my straightners to tidy up the ends and bring my hair into a more presentable shape. The thin plates glide down the hair, leaving it smooth and shiny, so there is no snagging or tugging. I also noticed reduced static on my hair, especially around my parting which can sometimes happen with heat styling. I am really happy with how my hair looks after using them, so I can tell we are going to have a happy relationship for the next few years. 

I decided to splurge on my GHD's during Amazons Black Friday week, so I managed to pick them up for £89 instead of £139. Although, the standard black IV styler is usually £89 if you're not interested in the pick of colours. I am really happy with them and have been recommended them so many times over the years. I have never been to a salon which doesn't use them, which is a great testament to how they work. 

Which straightners do you use? Would you recommend them?
