Top of the range of hair stylers, ghd straighteners have gained that reputation because they really are the cream of the crop. As with any high quality product, though, you have to play your part in keeping them that way.
If you want your ghd straighteners to continue to work to a high standard, you need to take proper care of it in order to avoid decreased performance and capability. Buying a genuine ghd styler already comes with a generous two year warranty should
something happen, but it is your responsibility to avoid damage to your straighteners. Cheap ghds are not an option; ghds are expensive because they are high quality, and in the long run that means they’re the best value stylers out there. Properly taken care of, a good pair of genuine ghds will last
you for years and save you having to replace a cheaper, knock off styler.
When not in use, your ghd styler should be turned off and ideally unplugged at all times. As you would assume with any electrical equipment, it is essential to keep your styler away from any kind of wet environment. It should not be used in a bathroom, or on wet hair.
You should also avoid using your ghds on your hair when it already has product in, and certainly do not spray any product directly onto the styler itself. The plates of your ghds can reach temperatures of up to 230°, so unless you want to melt, burn, or otherwise irreparably damage something, keep
your styler in a carefully insulated place.
Some ghd stylers come with specially designed bags or boxes to keep them in, so, if you have one, be sure to use it. If you don’t, the ghd website sells a great accessory pack which includes a protective carry case and heat mat for just £19.95.
