One of my favourite pairs of straighteners, which have easily been going well over 10 years, are the ghd Original Hair Straighteners. They're so good that when the Amazon sale rolled around last time, I treated my mum to the highly-coveted pair of straighteners, too. While Amazon Spring Sale has officially come to an end after a full week of incredible discounts, we've still got our eye on some of the best ghd products that you can shop on Amazon right now.
As for the Original Hair Straighteners? They've recently had an upgrade: a touch-sensitive on-and-off button that "chimes" when you press it in, automatic shut-off, and super lightweight plates that feel like air as they glide down the hair. No snagging here. Seriously, I was incredibly impressed with the latest model.
I heard one reviewer refer to them as "the luxury SUVs of straighteners", and honestly, I couldn't agree more. Using these makes it feel like you're indulging in a luxury experience. You see, my hair is naturally wavy, and these bad boys kept it pin-straight, sleek and glossy. I can definitely say I've also seen an improvement in straightness and shine with the new version as opposed to the older model.
Amazon's Spring Sale saw up to 40% off across ghd's bestselling tools, styling products and gift sets, with possible next-day delivery available for members of Amazon Prime. My favourite pair of ghd straighteners were even slashed from the recommended retail price of £139 to an astounding £99 - yep, less than £100 in the Amazon sale. So, it's safe to say that the Spring Sale was definitely a success in our eyes.
While we're waiting for the next sales event - Amazon Prime Day, we're looking at you 👀 - here are some of our favourite ghd tools available to shop on Amazon, including some of the brand's bestselling haircare tools and styling products. Next-day delivery, anyone?

ghdCut back on your drying and styling time with the ghd Duet Style 2-in-1 Hot Air Styler.

My hair honestly felt as soft as it does after leaving the hairdresser's. Result.'

FAQs
When was the Amazon Spring Sale 2025?
The Amazon Spring Sale started on Tuesday 25 March and ran until Monday 31 March at 11:59pm. If you can't resist a straightener deal, Amazon still has loads to browse right now, from budget picks to something a little higher-end to add to your beauty arsenal.
When is the next Amazon sale UK 2025?
The next Amazon sale that we're aware of will be the Amazon Prime Day sale, which may take place sometime in mid-July if previous years are anything to go by. It's been rumoured that the previous two-day event has been extended to a four-day long stint this year. So keep your eyes peeled for more news nearer the time.
How many years do ghd straighteners last?
It's hard to rule out how long each individual pair of ghd straighteners will last, as it can often depend on how much you use them and take care of your straighteners. However, I've had my ghd Original Hair Straighteners for well over 10 years now and they're still going strong.
Granted, I might not use them as much as the next person, but I use them on occasion when I want sleek, straight hair. They still heat up quickly, and as far as I can remember, I've never had to send them for a repair, but I've had them since I was in school - which is absolutely ages ago now. They still work as if they're brand new, and I absolutely couldn't go without them.
Why are ghd straighteners so expensive?
Straighteners from the brand ghd are often more expensive than competitors because of their high quality and durability. Generally, while you can pick up straighteners for around £20 (see: Remington), you can usually tell the quality of a pair of straighteners by the effect it has on the hair.
Higher-quality straighteners reach optimum styling temperatures, scientifically proven to style hair without excessive heat damage. Fewer hair passes are also needed, meaning you're limiting the amount of heat on your hair. Additionally, the plates are coated with high-quality ceramic that provides even heat distribution - also good for avoiding any annoying hair snags!
