Review: Cloud 9 Straightners

Hey Dolls :)

When Nick and I moved in with one another two years ago I had to leave my beloved GHDs I shared with my sister at home. Being two paupers and having to buy silly things like hoovers and fridges, we decided we couldn't afford to buy two pairs of GHDs (Nick has a proper fro that he can't stand and has to straighten his hair daily - ha!) I had to compromise and we bought the micro GHDs. Now, these were OK for the first couple of months however, they just were not big enough to cope with my curly hair never mind my extensions. I've put up with them for two years until I caved and bought a pair of cloud 9's - best.decision.ever....

I have used my cloud 9's every day since I bought them and I am loving having sleek, shiny, straight hair back! The first day I used them I was working and as soon as I walked in three people commented on how shiny my hair was. Cloud 9 claim that there is a secret ingredient in the ceramic plates that give your hair amazing shine - whatever this ingredient is it really works!

The main feature of the cloud 9 that attracted me was the adjustable heat setting.

The booklet you can see in the first photo is a brilliant style guide which helps identify which heat setting to use dependent on what style you're aiming for and your hair type. I absolutely love the control you have over the heat. If you look back through the last couple of posts, my hair was styled with the straightener set at 150 degrees - amazing!!

The other brilliant features of the cloud 9's include a 10 minute hibernation mode - no more panics in the middle of lectures that I have forgotten to turn off my straighteners as they will turn off after 30 minutes of no use; they have a sleek curved edge which makes curling much easier; a long swivel cord; a brilliant heat guard which you can pop on the end of the iron when waiting for it to cool down; a dual adapter meaning you can use it throughout Europe and finally a two year guarantee.

I also want to quickly talk about cloud 9's brilliant customer serice. I ordered my straighteners around lunchtime on the Thursday and they were on my doorstep on Friday at 10am - delivery was free!! I also received a bottle of St Tropez perfect legs as a free gift.

Absolutely amazing customer service! If you're on the look out for a new pair of straighteners I cannot recommend cloud 9s enough. They may be pricey (£129) but they are the best straighteners I have ever used - you can look at the cloud 9 website here.

Don't you think over the last couple of days you can really notice the seasons changing? I'm not venturing out in this horrible smirry rain - for me today is a hoody/glasses/no make up/cups of tea/hobnobs kind of day!

Lots of Love
