Bought the Amazon warehouse one and there is nothing wrong with it. The box was resealed but the goods perfect.

Good curler but a bit fiddly to use so returned it for the wand instead. Does produce nice curls though. Heats up quickly and is super hot so need to be careful of fingers and ears as can bu

Heats up very quickly, easy to use once you get used to the best technique to suit your hair – highly recommend

I have used many hair curlers in the past, and before using these had been using hair straightners to curl hair. These are super easy to use and produce a lovely curl that actually stays in. Previously I had thought that there was no point buying expensive hair curlers as the heat and the technique does the work, but I can honestly say that these curlers produce a much nicer and longer-lasting curl than any I have used before. Recommend.

Brilliant, just brilliant!! I know they aren’t cheap but they are worth the money in the time you save on waiting to heat up and how quickly they curl. They feel good quality and are a nice weight, not to heavy and not so light that they feel cheap, good investment tongs.

I really love these tongs. They heat up so quickly, so there’s no hanging around waiting to use them. The lead is also super long which is always handy. What I will say is that with all heat appliances, I would expect some kind of case or protection to come with it. There isn’t any. Which I’m actually quite surprised at given it’s GHD. You need a glove too, which also isn’t provided. I think it’s quite tricky to curl your hair without the fear of burning your hand. Luckily I had one from a different brand, but I would have struggled without one. Overall though a fantastic product.

+ Heats up SUPER quick. Beeps within 10 seconds so you know it’s ready. No waiting around.
+ Creates strong curls, which you can vary from tight ringlets to soft curls (though this isn’t unique to this tong, just the technique you use – there’s a mini guide included with a couple of photos).
+ Cool-touch tip makes it easier to manipulate the tong.
+ Smart looking and compact for storage.

– No heat settings just on (extremeeely hot!) or off.
– Difficult to use on very long hair as the tong isn’t that lengthy.
– Very damaging to hair as you get a significant amount of steam and water residue coming off your hair during and after you’ve applied the tong. So much that it creates water droplets on the inside of the metal tong and fizzes. I’d definitely use a high strength protective spray if using this regularly.
– Doesn’t come with a heat mat but definitely needs one as it’s a fire hazard otherwise.
– Bit over priced.
– No travel case / container, which you might expect for the price, to protect it from scratches etc.

ALL IN ALL…It’s certainly a good tong but considering the price and that I struggle to use it on the full length of my hair I wouldn’t pay full price.

I’d also prefer variable heat as my hair easily holds a curl so I’d rather not damage it with heat beyond what’s necessary to achieve the desired effect.
