Meet Sarah! One of the greatest people and artists I know! Sarah tasked me with finding the best flat iron for her extremely thick, coarse color-treated hair. As a GHD enthusiast, I recently got the ghd Gold Series Professional 1″ styler iron from the limited edition metallic collection, which can rival the thickest of hair strands for this challenge. What I like about GHD flat irons is they are lightweight, compact and has a swivel cord so it never tangles or is uncomfortable to use at any angle of straightening. (Although I’d love if they added a gripper to the handle — I always apply too much pre-oil or balm as my heat protectant and straighten with greasy hands). All of their flat irons come with a stylish head resistant styler bag, 2 year warranty and universal voltage. It also has a rounded barrel for those talented enough to use a flat iron to curl their hair.

The ghd Gold Series heats up EXTREMELY fast and beeps once it’s reached it’s optimum temperature of 347-365 degrees fahrenheit. Another feature I like (especially for any of you paranoid-you-left-the-house-with-the-flat-iron-on) is it goes into sleep mode after 30minute if not used. Only downfall is you can’t adjust the head settings, which isn’t much of a problem for the majority
