GHD "Iconic Eras" Glamour Straightener Review

The classic and elegant 1950s look is hot news right now and GHD have come up with a glamorous styler to enable you to achieve that fifties film star hair-do (and of course any other style which requires a straightener). The GHD Glamour Limited Edition was designed and styled to recreate the classic glamour-look immortalised by Hollywood stars like Ava Gardner and Jane Russell, and if you want the same look, the Gold Classic Styler really does the job.

The styler’s design is very evocative of the fifties era, with a smooth black background sprinkled with glamorous gold. It comes in a stylish bag that is chic enough to be used as an evening purse - something that really sets it apart from its rivals.You just know this is no ordinary run of the mill piece of beauty equipment.

Not only does the Gold Classic look like it is worth a million dollars, but the performance is just as impressive. It offers the ultimate in ceramic heater technology which gives a smooth, silky result with no hint of dryness. The contoured plates have been designed to glide through the hair without creating static, to give that professional, top-salon look.Many high street store offer stylers, but this gives the results; that's the difference.

The styler comes with two sectioning clips for easy styling, and a handy booklet that gives step-by-step instructions to help you achieve the Hollywood look. There are a wide choice of styles to choose from,as well, and once the simple techniques have been mastered, tight curls, waves or funky flicks can be created in a matter of moments.

A swivel cord has been incorporated into the design, which is a great development that enables you to move the styler freely. When styling the hair to create curls, the Gold Classic cord will not become tangled, (Oh, I wish all devices were like this, from the telephone to the headphones that tend to act like skipping rope for the dog) a great improvement that moves the Classic in line with professional-grade hair styling devices.

There are two useful safety features on GHD hair stylers: an automatic shut-down that activates after 30 minutes of inactivity, and a protective plate guard that helps to prevent scorched surfaces and fires.Once again, this feature should be mandatory on this type of product.
