The sale of fake ghds hit an all-time high and ghd are doing all they can to make it easier for you to figure out what it is real and what is not. Registration of products, holograms, specific materials being used and model numbers have all been put in place to make sure that we, the consumer, are getting the real deal.
But what about the ones that are slipping through the net? What does it mean if we buy a cheap pair of stylers, we figure out they aren’t what we hoped for but figure, times are hard, money is scarce and settle for second best?
The trouble is, cheap they may be, but the danger lurking behind these imposter stylers are ironically, very real indeed.
First things first, the ghd hair straighteners are guaranteed for a reason. We spend good money for the real thing and ghd feel it is important for us to get full usage out of this equipment. Electrical products don’t last forever, but they aim to make them last as long as possible, as safely as possible, which sounds great to us.
A fake ghd will be rejected when you try to register its serial number on the ghd website. This means NO cover, if the stylers break, you will have to fork out for another pair and guaranteed they won’t last anywhere near the two years the genuine article will.
Physically, to you, the risks are too high to ignore. Fake ghds have seen reports of burns and electric shocks to hair and skin. The plates themselves aren’t safe, they won’t have a reliable system for shutting down once they reach maximum temperature and the cord and plug itself is likely to be sub-standard.
The message we have is: watch out for fake ghd straighteners and invest in the real thing. This investment will last you and keep you and your hair safe, not to mention your house full of precious belongings. An extra £30-40 is not a lot compared to the threat of severe burns or a house fire. Our advice is to play it safe and check all purchases on bewareoffakes.ghdhair.com.
Don’t be tempted to cut corners with a low price, hold out another month if you have too, your hair will love you all the more for it.
