Shoppers say these 'brilliant' £45 straighteners at Aldi are ‘better than GHDs’

In the world of hair straighteners, GHDs have often been considered the elite brand, used by hairdressers and professionals across the globe. But now, shoppers are saying one pair sold at Aldi is even ‘better than GHD’ - and they’re a snip of the price, too.

This week’s SpecialBuys has seen the inclusion of the Remington PROluxe Hair Straightener, which is still being sold for £84.99 on Remington. They’re slightly cheaper on Amazon at £61.85 , and cost £64.99 at Boots with £20 off - but Aldi beats all three on price.

The same pair, sold at the budget supermarket best known for its middle aisle, are currently £44.99 on the Aldi website - nearly £75 cheaper than the least expensive pair of GHDs.

Aldi said: “These premium hair straighteners will have you looking your absolute best for your next event. With rose gold accents, the PROluxe straightener locks in beautiful and healthy-looking styles all day long.”

Complete with digital controls and nine different temperature settings, the straighteners also use intelligent OPTIheat technology that uses targeted heat where it is needed most, so that hair styles last longer and feel straighter.

Coming with a heat proof pouch, the device heats up in 10 seconds, and is fitted with an automatic safety shut off after 60 minutes.

Dozens of shoppers have praised the Remington straighteners, leaving five-star reviews on the Aldi website. Annjo 1968 said: “Great straighteners. Better than my Ghd’s. I have very thick wild curly hair which they somehow manage to make super smooth and sleek.”

Naomi added: “My beloved GHDs gave up the ghost (after years of good use) and despite slight reservations at first these straighteners are fab. Quick to heat up, range of settings. Love them.”

“Great product. I use this Instead of GHDs and am very impressed,” Rachel wrote.

Kazzaw swapped to these after two pairs of GHDs and said: “I think these straighteners are excellent value for money. I've had 2 pairs of GHD recently and I much prefer these. Given the price - they're outstanding. Very pleased I gave them a go.”

Mawood also tried them after being a loyal GHD user, commenting: “After my GHDs finally gave out I thought I’d try these and I love them. They heat up really quick and the variable temperature is brilliant. My hair is quite curly and these do a great job for a low price. Highly recommend.”

You can buy the Remington PROluxe Hair Straightener for less than £45 on Aldi now - but as with most Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone, so you’ll have to be quick.
