Cloud Nine straightener ‘far better than ghd’ is over £70 less in Prime Day deal
With Amazon Prime Day entering the final day of discounts today, shoppers might still be on the hunt for the best deal while they still can.
If you’re a beauty fan, then you’ll no doubt be aware that a variety of top-rated brands are included in the sale. For anyone looking for a new hair straightener, we have spotted one that is said to be “far better than ghd”.
Cloud Nine’s The Wide Iron Hair Straightener is currently down to £148.95, down from the regular £219. It’s actually the cheapest deal on the “superior” straightener, as it is priced at £148.92 at Boots, £179 at Very, while Argos still has it stocked at full-price.
Designed for those with thicker, longer hair, the Wide Iron Straightener uses ultra wide plates to “tame unruly hair”. Heat settings range from 100-200°C, allowing you to style at lower temperatures to minimise any heat damage to your locks.
The straightener has been infused with the brand’s signature healing minerals to seal the cuticle of your hair. They also lock in moisture, with shoppers saying their hair is “shiny” and and “so soft”.

One glowing review read: “After reviewing various hair straighteners and previously owning GHDs I purchased these as me and my daughters all have long thick hair, and wow they don’t disappoint, I’d ordered the revamps weeks before and found them not to be very good, but these are next level! Bit pricey, but otherwise amazing and by far better than GHDs!!!”
Another five-star review read: “Cloud 9 straighteners are far superior than GHD I absolutely love them. This is my second set as accidentally left the first on holiday!!! Excellent service from seller as they arrived next day.”
Beauty deal of the week
Amazon Prime Day is here, and with it are a vast variety of deals for beauty buffs.
For those who like to keep up with celeb-approved products, there is Elizabeth Arden’s iconic Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant. Loved by Victoria Beckham and even Zendaya, this cream is now less than half price.
Right now, a 50ml bottle has been dropped in Amazon’s Prime Day to just £12.99, down from its regular £28 – a total saving of 54 percent. Considering Boots stocks it for £31 and Lookfantastic for £22.40, we’d advise bagging this deal while you can.
Known as “the original multi-tasker”, the eight hour cream can do it all. Just a few of its eight official uses include a body moisturiser, wind burn treatment, hand cream, while also being used to tame and shape eyebrows.
The award-winning formula has been dermatologist-tested and is said to be able to protect the skin for “up to eight hours”. It’s also said to be “easily absorbed” and “nourishing”, making it suitable for all skin types.
Averaging a 4.6 rating and over 7,800 reviews on Amazon, Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream remains an legendary product among beauty enthusiasts who call it an “iconic” product that works like “pure magic” for every skin concern.

Another praised: “Purchase these after a recommendation from my cousin who is a hairdresser. I have always trusted GHDs but lately felt they hadn’t been working and my hair was not staying straight. Purchased these as a birthday gift to myself. Used them immediately after washing my hair. I am so impressed. The different heat settings and bag that comes with. I managed to straighten my hair in less than 15 minutes. Before it would of taken a good half an hour. My hair looks shiny and sleek. Definitely drop the GHDs and try these, you won’t regret it.”
