This makes the plates easier to manage, because the hinge allows you to press on the thongs effortlessly. As you press your hair in between the plates, you can feel that there is no resistance and it glides smoothly up to the edges of your hair. It’s perfect for long hair! It won’t give you tired, heavy arms even of you reach to the back ends because it’s just light and effortless to press, and your hair won’t get caught as you style.

It has the “on” button right in the middle, inside the plate handles. Press it to power the unit on and you will hear a short startup sound. The warm light around the button will flash when it starts to preheat the styler and once it’s done, it will be steady and you will hear another cute little sound to indicate that it’s ready for use. This takes about 10 to 15 seconds!

The quality of the heating plates, as with GHD standards, are a lot safer than other models. It keeps the heat in a constant 230° from roots to tips.
