Hair Straighteners Are GHD Platinum + Worth the money?

I have the cordless Dyson straighter which are great, but would like a longer slimmer pair. I’ve seen the Ghd platinum at a good price, but are they worth it?

In my opinion Cloud 9s - both slim and wide are far superior to GHD’s. I sold the GHDs on Vinted!

I ummed and aahed about whether to get the Platinum + or spend extra to get the Chronos. In the end I bought the Chronos and have been DELIGHTED with them.

I have long, fine hair, lots of it, and the Chronos can zip through my whole head creating big, bouncy curls in seventeen minutes!

Whichever one you go for, I can recommend buying them from Adel Professional Hair and Beauty. Saved me a fortune - I don’t know why they are not more well-known.

I honestly don’t think I can justify the cloud 9’s when I already have the Dyson.

I have platinums. They are a few years old now but they are great. I have quite fine hair though. Have been very pleased with them.
