A Close Look at GHD'S Latest 'Super Straightener'

After attending the UK launch of ghd’s latest product, the Eclipse, -billed as the ‘super straightener’, Amelia Hall was given a pair of Eclipse to test in the salon. She was asked for her views. ‘When I was first given the  Eclipse, I was a little apprehensive. After all ghd have spent the last ten years making fabulous straighteners, so how could they improve it so significantly?’ said Amelia.

I’ve now used the Eclipse in the salon for the past month, and must say -I’m impressed!. Firstly lets start with the look and feel, they feel luxurious, yet robust, giving the confidence of a quality piece of kit and then there’s the switch on - the irons actually ‘talk’ to you when you first plug them in, making a cool techno noise, but its the technical ability of these straighteners that really set them apart.

The Eclipse has got tri-zone technology which means that it’s got three heat zones within each plate so that the temperature maintains a constant heat, which is great, and this helps to deliver the best and fastest styling results yet on any hair texture. For a hairdresser its these results that these straighteners give that really impresses.

The plates seems to glide over the hair, there’s no tug, and this means that they are great on Afro hair or indeed any type of coarse hair. The best results I have seen are on hair that just loves to frizz normally under damp conditions, which normally takes an age to straighten - with the Eclipse it takes just one pass, AND it lasts ages!

After the initial scepticism, I must say that ghd have got this one right, they do exactly what ghd claim that are supposed to do and for anyone with coarse or difficult to tame hair who wants super smooth, straight hair then I thoroughly recommend them. I know they are expensive, but the difference that  they make is well worth it.

Over the last month the Eclipse has become an essential part of my hairdressing kit, and I’m pleased to say that we’ve now got several pairs in the salon, which means that we can all stop fighting over them!
