Need new hair straighteners - help!

My old faithful GHDs have finally curled up and dyed (sorry). Urgently needing new ones but which ones? I have had these sooo long I have no idea what’s best now, and there is so much choice. Recommendations please! I have quite long, fine hair that I straighten most days.

Cloud 9 definitely, when I needed new ones lots of reviews said GHD are under new ownership and not a patch on what they were (I have never had them myself). Lots of excellent reviews for Cloud 9, I bought some and they are great. Excellent customer service too. I find my hair keeps its style much better/longer than the cheaper ones I had previously
I have fine hair too and use the straighteners every day after washing my hair in the shower. I rough dry and then style.

I’m not much of a poster, more a reader, but had to reply to recommend Cloud 9. My GHD’s stopped working after years of service and loyalty leaving me in the same dilemma. I went for the wide plate cloud 9. Never looked back.

Thanks both. Will have a look at cloud 9

I had GHD and when they died I bought some really good ones from John Lewis, about £35 I think, we've had another second set since then too for another daughter.

My friends mentioned Cloud 9 as well (despite my never having heard of the brand) so I have gone with them and snazzy new straighteners arrive today. Excited!

Hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. How did the cloud 9’s work out? My GHD’s have just died! Thanks

The cloud 9s are pretty good. V similar to the GHDs and decent price point. I’m glad I didn’t fork out for Dyson or whatever, as cloud 9s are fine.
