Most Helpful Positive Review BEST FLAT IRON EVER! I've had this flat iron for 6 years going on 7 and it still gives me the most sleek shiny and straight hair ever! Mine didn't come with a case but you can buy them for cheap. I like how the flat iron has an automatic sensor that shuts it off when not in use. My problem with past straighteners is that they snag my hair and sometimes give my hair a bad smell. I recall using my friends chi straightener and was not impressed at all. I had to straighten my hair multiple times just to get the smooth sleek effect I was going for. Til this day I've never found a flat iron better than my ghd classic. I have friends who use my ghd flat iron and tell me how amazing it is and ask where I got it. I know it's a bit pricey but totally worth every penny. You really do get what you pay for!!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Very disappointed :( I've been using Chi for a decade and recently decided I was one with them because they don't last like they used to. I decided to spend extra and get a GHD hoping it would last at least a few years. Boy was I disappointed when I saw how it worked. The first time I used it I noticed I had to go over my hair more, but the worst part was after leaving for work my hair immediately turned into a puffy, frizzy mess. I decided to try it again a few days later because it was damp outside the first day (I live in FL) and was again let down. I spent 30 minutes straightening my naturally curly/wavy hair and it was ruined within an hour, as if I had used a cheap store bought flat iron. If this is how my hair will look in January, I can't even imagine how it'll look in June! I just returned it for a refund. Both of the associates at the counter were shocked and said that they both own a GHD and love it. I asked how long they've had them and they both said over 4 years. I read online that GHD used to be great, but the quality has gone down and now I know it must be true. The associates even said that the price dropped by about 50 dollars since they bought theirs, so I'm sure GHD is skimping on quality just like Chi ended up doing in the last few years. I'm hoping a new company will make a quality flat iron that is actually worth spending a couple hundred dollars on!

I have done beachy waves as well as straightened hair with this styler/straightener. I love it! It is just the right temp and and it is very smooth and does not pull too much on my hair.
Fine and Curly Hair 5
Fine and Curly Hair from Norfolk, VA
I have been using this product for over seven years and it is still going strong! I straighten my hair almost everyday and my fine hair has definitely kept up better compared to other straighteners that I used previously. I also love how little effort it takes to straighten my curly hair. Again I've used other straighteners before where I would have to go over the same area a few times to get that area as straight as I wanted it to be. I also love how easy it is to style and curl my hair with this straightener. I hardly ever use a curling iron and just use this when I really want to style my hair. I'm definitely in love with this straightener. I highly recommend it and think the bad reviews are just a "fluke" because I've had no problems with this straightener in seven years.
Do not recommend 1
Estefania from Tampa, FL
My hair is naturally pretty straight, and even then, this straightener was just it. First of all, the gold plates do not touch flat. Already a huge inconvenience to straighten hair. They only touched at the very top of the iron.
This also did not make my hair sleek straight and soft as I was expecting. I remember using a friend's classic GHD about 10 years bag which I loved, but this one did not perform like that.
Also, the straightener pulled and tugged on my hair, which actually hurt and pulled out strands of hair.
Nevertheless, I ended up returning it and exchanging it for a Baby bliss, and wow, HUGE difference. My long thick hair is straight, soft, and shiny, every time! Wished the GHD worked like that.
10 years of using 3-4 times a week 5
musebelle from Michigan
I bought this over 10 years ago and it's still working exactly how it did then. I have been using it for most of those 10 years using an Australia to US adapter too. It takes barely any time to heat up, turns itself off if you forget to and I have never ever had hair pulling or heat damage from this. Best money I've ever spent, whenever the day comes that I need a new one I know I'll buy this again.
Not worth buying 1
Harshadap from Seattle
Disappointed with my purchase. I have fine wavy hair and literally felt that my hair were burning while using it. Not at all worth the price.
Not a Fan 3
nikole from Colorado
product leaves creases in your hair and when you hold tip to close it moves, over time will eventually brake or not close right. Does hold curl for long period of time.
1 inch Classier Styler 5
Glo4767 from Winfield, US
I am very please with my last purchase of the 1" classic styler. I am letting my hair grow into a style that I needed a styler larger that the one half inch that I've used for at least three years . I also have used a ghd hair dryer for years. In my opinion ghd has the bestest.
Not Impressed 2
Jamiek from MI
I read reviews and based on other recommendations, I decided to purchase. I am not impressed. It does smooth my hair but it doesn't straighten my hair at all. I find myself having to go over and over with it which just kills my hair. It also doesn't have a heat setting that can be changed which I do not like at all.
Excellent product!! 5
littlejulie72 from Miami

Loved the first GHD I purchased over 10 years ago. When that one stopped working I knew I wanted to stick with the GHD brand and I'm so glad I did.
Alright 4
Lala from Oxnard, California
Its a good product worth the price
Terrible 1
Kms from San Ramon
This flat iron is so cheaply made and is awful. It sticks to your hair not allowing it to glide smoothly. The plates don't touch when you close it. It has no temp setting so it heats to one temp that is not hot enough to straighten in one pass so you have to go over your hair repeatedly.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! 5
MC from Yuba City, CA
Absolutely love it!! Wouldn't buy a different brand. Heats fast & leaves hair feeling sleek without any sleeking products. My old flat iron was a GHD & lasted me several years! So worth every penny!!
Returned Product. Expensive and not good 2
CE from Lemoore ca
Did not care for this straigtener. The Professional works better. Light kept blinking so I couldn't tell if it was ready to use. Did not make my hair sleek and shiny
Brilliant product! 5
HappyH from Orlando, Florida
As always, superior straighteners! Top notch products, better than all the rest, believe me, I've tried most and they don't even come close to GHD.x
No more snagged hair! 5
Cassie L. from Chesapeake, VA
This iron just glides thru my hair. I never have the issues I previously had where my hair would get snagged and pulled when I was straightening it. Worth every penny!
10 years and counting 5
Dina from Hawaii
I originally bought this flat iron on the GHD site and now that Ulta sells it I'm thinking about getting another one. I can't believe I'm still using the same flat iron since 2009. My only issue is that it's starting to smell like it's time to go ahead and get a new one even though mine still works like a champ. I'm still getting the same results with shiny smooth soft hair. My friends always ask to borrow it and some have even bought one themselves. Great quality and long lasting results with GHD classic.
LOVE this flat iron! 5
Shayka from Illinois
This is my second GHD Iron. The first I had for 5+ years & it was used every day in a salon. Eventually it stopped working, however I felt I got great use out of it. I recently purchased this GHD iron and love it just as much.

I bought this hair straightener 13 years ago and it still works perfectly. Great investment.
15 years and counting.. 5
Nikki S. from Fargo, ND
I have had this flat iron for about 15 years now, and have never had a problem. By far the best I've ever tried, and I've used multiple flat irons that others have had. Nothing compares to this one! I have never had a problem, and have used it at least 4 days a week to straighten or curl my thick wavy hair! Truly the best!
Great for curly hair 5
KML from Charlotte
I bought this straightener 5 months ago after my chi of 7 years died on me. I have naturally really curly hair and wear my hair straight most of the time since I only wash my hair once a week. It straightens my hair quickly and eliminates frizz. This straightener may be pricey, but it's pricey for a reason!
Stops working after two years! 1
Natatat from Berkeley
The best flat iron there is as far as maneuverability and outcome, but always breaks after the 2 year warranty is up
Best flat iron ever! 5
Shannon11 from Colorado
Yes please! Thank you GHD for being the best! My stylist used a GHD flat iron on me and that's all it took..completely in love! I look forward to straightening my hair everyday now. My hair is silky and shiny after using my GHD flat iron. I am now a lifelong customer!

Iriegal63 from IL
So disappointed as this was the first time I've purchased this brand. When light is blinking this means it's heating up. Attempted 3 times up to 30mins and still blinks. Would not completely heat.
13 Years going strong 5
KC from Minnesota
I bought my GHD flat iron after it was recommended by my stylist in 2006. It has never failed me. I used it daily for long curly hair for years. Im down to about three times a week now but the performance has stayed the same. Through three moves, numerous vacations, and daily trips shoved in a bag to the gym this has outlived 4 hairdryers. Highly recommend.
