i'll recommend you to have FHI instead =] it will just heat up in just 15 seconds or something.. and not even a minute... you can use it even with a dump hair.. and it has adjustable temp... just a quick review
Sorry but the FHI is a knockoff of the GHD, the GHD also heats up in 15 secs. And the GHD doesn't have temp adjust because of the chip that senses hairs texture and adjusts accordingly. This prevents you from burning your hair.
Um yeah pretty much, the GHD was the first iron to use ceramic, and is in my opinion the best iron you can get because of it's many features which I listed below. Many companies ( CHI, FHI, and others) have tried to copy GHD, but fail. if you look at these irons, they all look similar to GHD, even their names are similar, but they will never be as good as the GHD. Thats just my opinion however. You can see for yourself and compare. But I think this video speaks for itself.
oh okay, i was just wondering cause ive been looking for a good hair straightener, but i dont have enough money to buy multiple to try a trial and error, so im just going on peoples reviews on them, thanks! ill save up for a ghd!
I am afraid to tell you but this site is seling fake ghd's so be awear please look for a certificated site you can go to the counterfit page that the ghdhair site has and go to the site checker and this site does not check so please be awear fake ghd are dangerous ^^
I have a wet to straight straightener...I have the thickest hair ever and it works amazing on it...but the cord is held together with electrical tape after my demon puppy chewed it off.
My Chi was $250, it heats up in less than a minute, and it straightens my waist length Shirley Temple curls in 20 minutes... and it lasts me three days with no touch ups.
Haha I have the same problem with turning off my CHI but I have a stand for mine so I don't have to worry about it burning down my house. :] Also, my CHI curls my hair like dream!! I love mine and I think that part of the reason yours is slower to heat and whatnot is because it's older/an older model. I love the CHI lol but I know GHD works awesome too!! Love ya Elle! xox
it's so funny, at the end you are saying you like white electronics so much; me too! I have a white camera, white mobile phone, am saving for a white computer and I just love love love white electronics! And about the straighteners, I know I don't have one yet but I was going to try one out which costs between 25 and 40 bucks so.. I think the chi is already quite expensive
i have like the newer version of the CHI, and i think its amazing it gets my hair really straight and heats up way faster than your did. Idk maybe its just me that likes the CHI alot better than you make it sound.
I have SUPER thick hair and I tried both the CHI and the FHI and it doesn't entirely straighten my hair... sometimes it looks like I used a Krimpler and my hair looks a little boofy and still frizzy. I use all the products I need but the CHI doesn't work.. so I might try the GHD since I do have really thick and frizzy hair.
I have the same issues with my hair and I can honestly tell you the ghd is the best. My hair has never been smoother or more healthy looking. I get compliments on it all the time and people at work said they noticed a difference in my hair. I used an FHI for years but never realized how much smoother my hair could be until I got my ghd. I got the iron, carrying case and heat protectant for $270 on ghd's online store. My aunt is a hair dresser and swears by them too!
Thanks for the info! I'm going to try and get a GHD soon. I'd rather spend the extra $100 on something that will wok rather than spend $150 on something that doesn't work.
i got mine at a POSH hair salon and it came with a concealer and 4 MAC lipglosses But there only like little samples but they are good :D i live in England btw so i dont know if they do that in america :D
my hair is curly curly & so far the chi has worked good but it just leavez my hair like straight but not straight straight you feel? haha well Dankz Now I know wut to buy when I have money
i tried GHD, and it didnt work for me.I then spent $35 on a babyliss straightner and its amazing. Takes 15 seconds to heat up and gets up to 250 degrees. So wierd 0-o
I have the GHD salon styler.. the one with the really big plates for thicker hair. and it only cost me £116 and im in the UK- i got some GHD body products with it also ..
i have a different model of the CHI you're using. It looks like the GHD. it was like $150 and I am in love with it. You don't need to spend $100 on a straightener that will do almost exactly the same thing but thats just my opinion.
I have a question. I bought my ghd straightener from a website and just received my package. Only problem was that the plug on the cord wasn't able to fit any of my outlets. It's the kind of plug that's desigened for outlets in the UK and I'm in the US. My question is: was yours sent to you like that? What do you think is best that I should do? I don't want to have to return it, I already bought it for $150. Thank you & just wanted to say that I love watching your videos! =]
I didn't mean the author of this video. My comment was a reply to another commenter who said that the author of this video was incorrect about the price.
Any flat iron is possibly counterfeit if you buy it from a website like Amazon, eeBay, or even BeautyChoice, but GHD DOES manufactor a white flat iron, called the Pure Styler, and it is not fake if you buy it from a GHD approved seller.
I Have A CHI & I've Had For A While Now. But It's My Second Or Third One Now! And Yeah, I Understand When She Talks About The CHI Making Your Hair Poofy Because That Happens To Me & It Does Take A While To Heat Up & Sometimes That Gets On My Nerves!
I have a CHI and it tends to grab onto my hair when I use it. I also get what she says about the poofy thing, my CHI straightens but doesn't smooth my hair. I am super tempted to get a GHD.
Can anyone tell me how these 2 straighteners compare to the Remmington Shine Therapy? (if you have tried the Remmington and the others)...I want a good straightener for making wavy hair but don't want to spend over 120 dollars.... thanks. :)
well idk about Remington, but i have a porcinel Series Straighter, i bought almost 4 years and its Still running strong and i got it for 88$ at sallys, if you want a cheaper one go to Sallys or something, and ask one of them and they will tell you.
I am shocked these cost $240 they are cheaper in the UK and most people in the UK have these??? How did it take you so long to find them? I have had three now and have used GHD for 8 years! x x
i bough a 15 dollar flat iron from walmart that automatically turns off after about 45 minutes and it heats up really quick and has a butt load of heat settings... you dont HAVE to spend a hundred dollars on a flat iron to get that... overall great vid
I LOVE my GHD's.. Had them for nearly 2 years now and they are the best purchase I've ever made! Totally gets you your moneys worth, especially seeing as I use mine nearly everyday! :) x
if you live in the uk you can get the ghd for £90 as it is a Bitish straightener so if you are thinking of buying it i would definately try ebay or uk shops as it is way cheaper :) love your vids too elle
i have had a chi for about a year now and i absolutely love it! i have never had any of the problems mentioned. i can even curl my hair with it, and it never leaves my hair frizzy. i did some research on the chi's and alot of ppl said that the colored chi's are made of a different material than the original black chi's so the black ones get hotter... i have a black one. so worth it!
I have a Chi and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. But my best friend has a GHD and she swears by it - so between that and your video I'm even more curious about the GHD:)
can you do a vid on the paul mitchell flat iron vs the chi. I just wanted to say that the paul mitchell falt iron makes your hair smooth and sleek not like the chi where it makes your hair stick straght. the price on the paul mitchell is a whole lot better then the GHD.
hey i was just wondering, when you use a high heat (like 250 degrees) on your hair with the GHDs, doesn't it make your hair smell like it's been burnt? because even though I use protection i can't put it on higher that 190 degrees or else my hair smells- that makes me sound like i don't wash... i do :)
also the ghd plates move slightly so when u straighten your hair, it moves according to the position of ur wrist - awesome!! i've had mine for agess and it still works as good as it did 2 years agoo x x
The GHD looks like a great investment and i trust your vids so, I'm gonna look into buying one. The only thing i want to know is how well it keeps hair straight in humid conditions. If you notice that it does a great job, let us know! thanks!
I've owned several CHI's and the reason they have broken is my Own Fault! I used to wrap the cord around the chi itself and that caused some type of short circuit in it so it would only turn on if i put the cord a certain way. I finally bought 2 more and i'm more careful about how i wrap the cord. I turn mine on, and do something else like pick out my clothes or start on my make up, no issues.
ive had my GHDS 6 YEARS yes 6! never broke nothing perfect and their even the older version of years(they don't beep or have the sleep mode) but exact size and shape REALLY its a good investmnet CHI's are for curling GHD'S are for straightening ur hair end of story
Haha I Like White Electronics Aswell, I Have A Ghd Straightner And When I Seen The White One I Was Like :O I Wan t That So I Saved And Saved And Got Them Lol
But I Use My Black Ones Everyday I Use My White Ones For Travel Etc Lol
I Know Half Of That Was A Randon Blabber But Anyway :D
I'm sorry. I never meant to say that she "looked tired" in a mean way. I just thought she looked exhausted but then again, I enjoyed the video and I loved her look. So, please, can you guys who took my comment the wrong way, STOP sending me hate messages because that was never my intention and I apologize to Elle. I'm sorry you took it the wrong way. Great vid though!
Its really not youre fault, when i first saw this video i thought the same thing, and its because she's wearing like a blue-is color like a liner on top and bottom and that tends to make you look tired. Because its similar to the color of bags under your eyes. So,.. yea.
I wish CHI'S turned off automatically, cause last year I got a pink CHI and this year I left it on while I was at school, I came home turned it off, and tried to turn it back on, it was broken.
I totally agree with you. I bought my chi a couple of years ago and id doesn't curl, it just bends my hair....today right before i started watching ur video i was kind of combing my hair with my hands and i noticed my hair was really straight but poofy. Also i agree with you that for the money it should turn off automatically. I bought a conair one for around 50 or 60 dollars and it turned off automatically and frankly, it worked better.
hmm..everything your saying about the chi is not true about mine..i bout a pink one last summer, and it heats up fast and curls my hair, and never gave me any problems. I also used a rusk straightener before that but the chi worked on my hair better bc i have thick hair.
i think the newer chi's may be better than the one you have, bc mine is completely not what you say about it. but the ghd seems sooo cool, if i didnt just buy my chi i would buy it.
From the way you demo'd it, I don't think you use the straightner properly and that is why your hair stays poofy. Using a hotter tool is not good for your hair.
The GHD seems cool, but I already have a CHI and don't have enough money to get a GHD right now...so I think I'm going to wait until my CHI dies out. :)
Re: AWeekendIn TheCity - I have a Chi thermal spray and I love it. I used to have the Tresemme but it made me party dizzy, duno why...so I tried the Chi and never made me dizzy (knock on wood) :-) try it.
CHi is betta for me.

Sorry but the FHI is a knockoff of the GHD, the GHD also heats up in 15 secs. And the GHD doesn't have temp adjust because of the chip that senses hairs texture and adjusts accordingly. This prevents you from burning your hair.
Not being rude, just saying.

therasia 2 years ago 66
closed. And this also means the GHD can straighten hair at a lower
temp which means less damage to your hair.
6. The GHD does cost more. BUT if you get your GHD from a salon ( NOT
ONLINE) Your GHD should come w/ a 4 yr warranty. I say should because
when my store sells them to the salon, there is a 2 yr warranty plus 2
w/ the manufacturer.
shannon101787 2 years ago 4
5. The GHD has a chip in it to sense the porosity and texture of the
hair and adjusts itself accordingly. Also what is important to
understand about any straightener is that it's not about how hot it gets, it's about the type of heat. The GHD straightens hair from the
inside out vs. outside in like most other straighteners. This is
because of the high grade of ceramic the ghd uses. This is also why
she refers to her hair being "flatter" Her hair isn't "flatter" the
cuticle has simply been
shannon101787 2 years ago 4
3. The GHD has rounded floating plates. This means that the edges of
the plates are rounded and they also move from side to side so that
when you curl your hair you don't get ugly crimps in your hair.
4. The GHD has a grid shaped heating element instead of an "S" shaped
one to prevent hot spots in the plates which can lead to "snagging" of
the hair.
shannon101787 2 years ago 3
Hi everyone, I sell GHD's and I think this is a great video and it did a great job of demonstrating the GHD. However some of the features are
not clearly explained as to how and why the GHD is better, so I will clarify them for you:
1. GHD takes only 20 seconds to heat up. It has a 30 minute sleep timer, and if you go to use it after it shuts off, it will heat back up.
2. There is also a shiver mode. It will shut off if taken into a room
less than 46 degrees to prevent internal condensation.

if you live in the uk you can get the ghd for £90 as it is a Bitish straightener so if you are thinking of buying it i would definately try ebay or uk shops as it is way cheaper :) love your vids too elle

i have had a chi for about a year now and i absolutely love it! i have never had any of the problems mentioned. i can even curl my hair with it, and it never leaves my hair frizzy. i did some research on the chi's and alot of ppl said that the colored chi's are made of a different material than the original black chi's so the black ones get hotter... i have a black one. so worth it!

I have a Chi and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. But my best friend has a GHD and she swears by it - so between that and your video I'm even more curious about the GHD:)

can you do a vid on the paul mitchell flat iron vs the chi. I just wanted to say that the paul mitchell falt iron makes your hair smooth and sleek not like the chi where it makes your hair stick straght. the price on the paul mitchell is a whole lot better then the GHD.

hey i was just wondering, when you use a high heat (like 250 degrees) on your hair with the GHDs, doesn't it make your hair smell like it's been burnt? because even though I use protection i can't put it on higher that 190 degrees or else my hair smells- that makes me sound like i don't wash... i do :)
thanks :)

also the ghd plates move slightly so when u straighten your hair, it moves according to the position of ur wrist - awesome!! i've had mine for agess and it still works as good as it did 2 years agoo x x

The GHD looks like a great investment and i trust your vids so, I'm gonna look into buying one. The only thing i want to know is how well it keeps hair straight in humid conditions. If you notice that it does a great job, let us know! thanks!
You rock elle!!

I've owned several CHI's and the reason they have broken is my Own Fault! I used to wrap the cord around the chi itself and that caused some type of short circuit in it so it would only turn on if i put the cord a certain way. I finally bought 2 more and i'm more careful about how i wrap the cord. I turn mine on, and do something else like pick out my clothes or start on my make up, no issues.

I like the CHI a lot better than GHD. I personally think the CHI starightens hair better.

I'm sorry. I never meant to say that she "looked tired" in a mean way. I just thought she looked exhausted but then again, I enjoyed the video and I loved her look. So, please, can you guys who took my comment the wrong way, STOP sending me hate messages because that was never my intention and I apologize to Elle. I'm sorry you took it the wrong way. Great vid though!
Theophanie411 2 years ago
Its really not youre fault, when i first saw this video i thought the same thing, and its because she's wearing like a blue-is color like a liner on top and bottom and that tends to make you look tired. Because its similar to the color of bags under your eyes. So,.. yea.

I wish CHI'S turned off automatically, cause last year I got a pink CHI and this year I left it on while I was at school, I came home turned it off, and tried to turn it back on, it was broken.

well...a new GHD might work better then your CHI becouse your CHI is 3 years old... A new CHI probably works just as good!

I totally agree with you. I bought my chi a couple of years ago and id doesn't curl, it just bends my hair....today right before i started watching ur video i was kind of combing my hair with my hands and i noticed my hair was really straight but poofy. Also i agree with you that for the money it should turn off automatically. I bought a conair one for around 50 or 60 dollars and it turned off automatically and frankly, it worked better.
Great Video I'm getting a GHD : )

juicybrooklyn23 2 years ago
hmm..everything your saying about the chi is not true about mine..i bout a pink one last summer, and it heats up fast and curls my hair, and never gave me any problems. I also used a rusk straightener before that but the chi worked on my hair better bc i have thick hair.
i think the newer chi's may be better than the one you have, bc mine is completely not what you say about it. but the ghd seems sooo cool, if i didnt just buy my chi i would buy it.
<3 ur vids!
strawbry06 2 years ago 3
From the way you demo'd it, I don't think you use the straightner properly and that is why your hair stays poofy. Using a hotter tool is not good for your hair.
