Hey everyone!
I recently purchased a ghd wide plate flat iron which is about 2 inches wide. It said on the promo ad that it was faster to use and better for longer, thicker hair. I paid $225 for this iron and since I already liked the 1 inch ghd after trying it out at a salon, I thought this one would be good too.
My hair was slightly damp when I first used it, not wet.. almost dry. I noticed that when I passed the iron over some damp areas, it sizzled up and the hair was wavy and crispy. The next day, my hair was breaking off on the ends! I use a flat iron at least two days per week (Le Angelique brand) and my hair never dries out from it, and even when I have to pass over my hair THREE times to get it straight!
I gave the ghd one more try on totally dry hair and it worked very well, except my hair was already too dry on the ends. I only had to pass through my hair one time, which was nice.
So I contacted ghd to see about exchanging the iron for the 1 inch because I think the bigger plate is too hot for thick, bleached blonde hair. Either that or I need to use a really good thermal spray. I regret to say that I had to get my hair cut because of this and I am mad!
If anyone has advice for me about the wide plate iron or ghd, please let me know! Thank you!
