ghd was the first hair brand I ever used. Honestly! And now you can snap up their iconic straighteners for less in the Amazon Spring Deal Days.
Back in the early noughties I saved all my birthday and Christmas money, did as many chores necessary to earn some pocket money, just to be able to buy my very own pair of ghd straighteners – and over 20 years later I still use them.
What I really needed was Amazon’s Spring Deal Days sale to save me weeks of doing the ironing, washing up and cleaning the car.
Amazon’s Spring Deal Days are here and to celebrate the major retailer has slashed the price of select ghd hair tools by up to 25% – including the Original Styler, which is my holy grail.

ghd The Original Styler
From the single zone ceramic floating plates to the one heat setting and compact design, there is nothing we don’t love about ghd’s Original Styler. The straighteners are easy to use, heat up in seconds and do not exceed 185 degrees to prevent excessive heat exposure.
shop £109.99 (save £30)The Original Styler remains my go-to hair tool as it glides through my long frizzy mane effortlessly, and instantly straightens the section of hair in seconds – without the need to run over the same strand of hair time and time again.
Not only does it straighten my hair, which holds for days on end unlike any other straighteners I have tried , but I can also create sleek waves and curls too.
What I love most about these straighteners, however, is how they minimise any frizz, tame flyaways and leave my hair silky smooth.
The easy-to-use tool has one power button you switch on and switch off, meaning there’s no need to adjust the temperature. Instead, it heats up to 185 degrees in a matter of seconds for optimal results.
Some may prefer adjustable heat settings, but I prefer this as it makes for a fuss-free experience, especially when I was a 13-year-old beauty novice.
The new generation single-zone ceramic technology helps to maintain an even temperature and run through the hair seamlessly without snagging any strays. The plates are also fitted with a smooth gloss coating, which is why the hair is left looking glass-like after use.
Another of the amazing features of the iconic ghd tool is the floating plates, which move ever so slightly to catch and style every strand of hair for a professional finish without any pesky flyaways.
I have long and fairly fine hair and the slimline plates do all the hard work for me, but the Original Styler even works on my mum’s ringlets, too.
The top-selling straighteners are lightweight, too, which not only combats any arm ache when styling long locks, but also makes them easy to pack away for travelling.
One Amazon shopper raved of the iconic tool: ‘I absolutely love the ghd straighteners. The heat settings are perfect, providing just the right amount of heat to straighten and style without causing any extreme heat damage.
‘It works wonderfully to create sleek, smooth, and soft hair with an impressive shine, just like you’d get from a professional salon. ‘
Another added: ‘I purchased these after retiring my old straightener, which lasted over 10 years, and upgrading to GHD is a game changer!

‘It’s reliable, easy to use, and delivers flawless results every time. If you’re looking for a high-quality straightener that combines performance with longevity, I’d highly recommend this one. It’s worth every penny!’
‘These straighteners work really well and are a replacement for an older pair ,only one heating so simple to use.’ Wrote a third.
The ghd Original Styler has currently been reduced to £109.99 down from £139.99, which is a deal that’s not to be passed up.
