GHD's have ruled the roost for to long in the world of irons, and it's time for someone else to take the crown. Cloud 9 irons aim to do just that, and since the team behind them used to work on GHD's, I think we're in store for something pretty special. So what exactly are they offering us?
The new irons have a sleek design, but the selling point is all about the tech they're equipped with. The creators have addressed the problem that heat has on hair, but their solution to heat damage is more than just implementing a hair protection spray into their kit. They've also rounded the barrel of the iron to make it easier to create curls and flicks.
The black ceramic plates of the iron are also rather sparkly- that's because they were created with pearl sparkle, the idea being this adds extra shine to your hair.
It also has a 'hibernation mode', which makes them automatically turn off after ten minutes of no use, so you can stop worrying you've accidentally burnt the house down on a night out. Each iron is also issued with an RFID chip, to prevent fakes being created and potentially allowing you to sync it with your computer and display relevant information.
There are three styles on offer, a regular iron, a micro one and one with wide plates.
So will I be chucking away my GHD's? Watch this space for a review.
