FAQs About Fake GHDs

How can I be sure that I’m buying a genuine GHD IV styler?

We would only recommend buying from ghdhair.com – which is the official GHD Website or from one of the Approved GHD Stockists listed on our site.

I’ve seen GHD adverts on Google, are they all genuine?

Some of the adverts that appear on Google are real but some may be websites selling counterfeit goods. The only way to be absolutely sure is to use our website checker. If the products are supplied directly from China then it is likely that the products are counterfeit and of course if the deal offered is much less than you would expect to pay for ghd quality then it might be too good to be true and you could be giving out your details to criminals. n the past we featured Google sponsored ads on oursite, but had to remove them because there was no way we could filter out the fake websites.

I am thinking of buying my GHD styler from eBay, how can I tell if it is genuine?

In a nutshell, you can’t. The first thing to know is that counterfeit ghd stylers are often sold through auction sites such as eBay, Ebid, Cqout and Gumtree. Look at where the goods are being shipped from. If the item is being shipped from the Far East e.g. China or Hong Kong or the shipping time is more than 2 or 3 days, it is likely to be a fake product. Look carefully at the price: If the price being offered looks too good to be true, it usually is a reflection of the product’s poor quality.

Remember that the sellers of fake goods will try to deceive you. Statements in the seller’s auction of ‘genuine product’, ‘holograms and security seals’ do not guarantee the authenticity of the item. This site takes the policy of ot linking to any Ebay listings because we can not be sure of the hair straighteners authenticity and Ebay other a self policing policy which is not very effective. Even if a Ebay seller is banned they can easily set up a new account in a differet name and start selling again. Remember, these crooks are able in invest large amounts of money in copying these products, so t is likely they have the funds and resources to establish fake ID’s and Addresses which will enable them to easily registar on suction sites and then vanish once people get suspicious.
