Amazon knocks £40 off ghd Gold Hair Straighteners ahead of Christmas

A good pair of hair straighteners can be a game-changer, offering reliable styling and stress relief for those who regularly struggle with their hair. Therefore, gifting someone a top-notch pair for Christmas could earn you a spot in their good books for quite some time.

Currently, Amazon is offering the ghd Gold Hair Straightener and Styler at a fantastic price, reduced to just £149.99 from £189 (price correct at the time of writing). Known for their premium performance, ghds are often considered among the best in the industry.

Featuring dual-zone technology and next-generation heat sensors on each plate, these straighteners maintain optimal temperatures from root to tip, ensuring dependable styling while minimising potential heat damage. The rounded barrel makes them ideal for creating curls and waves, while the contoured plates allow for smooth, snag-free styling and easy use from all angles.

Regardless of your hair type or length (buzzcuts excluded), ghd promises exceptional performance. Amazon customers are raving about these hair straighteners, with an impressive average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from over 2,000 reviews.

One satisfied buyer enthused in a five-star review: "It's easy to control and use, light to hold and can be flexibly manoeuvred around the head without your arm hurting," adding, "Also, unlike with other branded straighteners, your hair doesn't feel crispy as if it's been 'fried' from the heat; this straightener leaves your hair feeling tangle-free and light", reports the Daily Record.

Another pleased customer remarked: "Typical GHD quality, heats quickly and easy to use," and is looking forward to years of service. A third chimed in: "I don't use them every day, but they work well, and I like the rubber cover for the ends to stop them damaging the floor and useful to hold the two sections together when I put it away. Slides through the hair easily."

However, not all feedback was glowing. "These straighteners are okay. They were expected to be wowed, but they weren't," one user commented, noting, "They don't even come with a heat mat." Another shared: "Not any better than less expensive ones. They're okay."

For those seeking more wallet-friendly alternatives, Bosch straighteners are on offer for £19.99 at Debenhams, down from £39.99, and there's a great deal on a Remington pair for £21.45 at Boots, reduced from £79. Priced at £149.99, the GHD Gold Hair Straighteners come highly recommended, and for aficionados, they're the clear choice.
