Cloud 9 Hair Straighteners*
£99 from Paul’s Hair World
I think it’s pretty safe to say that ladies my age will agree that if there’s one single hair and beauty appliance we can bow down with appreciation to, it’s hair straighteners! We know that there’s frizzy hair and then there’s ~frizzy~ hair, am I right? I don’t know if the appreciation for hair straighteners is truly understood amongst young girls of today who all long for perfectly tousled hair or gorgeous curls in the style of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. I, too, have moved on with the times by favouring curled hair over straight but straighteners will always be an essential hair tool for me on the days where my long locks need taming, or even using it to style said curls! If mine broke, I would replace it in a heartbeat!
For us gals who are now in our late twenties/early thirties, straighteners were an absolute life changer! Back then, having sleek, shiny and poker straight hair to swish around all day long was a big deal to us! It comes as no surprise that we have formed a strange emotional attachment to them, probably because they saved us from walking in to school every morning hair that resembles Hargrid and for that we are eternally thankful! Would our lives be different if hair straighteners weren’t invented? As a whole, probably not, but from a girl’s point of view, thank god for their existence! High five to that!

The choices of straighteners we have these days is huge, and it’s also nice to see that men have embraced the use of them too! The thing to remember when picking a new one is that the plates themselves are made of good quality material as this is what will help you achieve longer lasting sleek and shiny hair. And believe me, I’ve experimented with my share of straightening tools and you really get what you pay for, the results are noticeable.
I have teamed up with
Paul’s Hair World to tell you more about Cloud Nine and also to offer one lucky person to win a set for themselves! A little Christmas present from us to you!
Cloud Nine Luxury The Touch gift set cost £99 from Paul’s Hair World, and comes with a limited edition heatproof bag and the straighteners themselves, of course. It is an award-winning hair tool that has mineral infused plates so when you use them, it helps conditions your hair. The black ceramic iron plates gets hot, so you are still going to cause a small bit of damage (as with all heat appliances) but if you’ve ever used a cheap set that absolutely frazzles your hair, you’ll quickly learn to grasp on to words like “adds shine” and “conditions”. I would still suggest applying heat protector, just to give it that extra protection.
The unique selling point of this model is that it heats up automatically and instantly on the very moment you start using it, so you don’t have to wait around whilst it heats up, you can use the C9 Touch immediately after plugging it in. It can also detect when you’ve stopped using it and cool itself down and automatically switches off after 30 seconds of inactivity.
There are two heat settings which display in LED with red indicating it’s at 195C and blue for 165C. You snap the plates together quickly three times for 165 and snap twice for 195. I think that this is a really cool way to change the temperature and anything with LED lights on is always fancy!
I’ve been very attached to my ghd’s which I’m sure I bought in 2001 or around that time, and because they’re so old, I had wondered if I should get a new set. Cloud Nine have not let me down and have been the perfect replacement, it’s also nice to have a choice of temperature too. I like to use them at the 165 as it tames my hair without it going completely flat. I have thick hair but the plates on Cloud Nine Touch glides over hair without snagging or pulling, and you can even use them to curl aswell!

Heat protection spray – no point in using straighteners if your hair is dry and damaged!
I desperately need some new straighteners – mine are close to biting the dust! I love the Enrapture Totem Styler too, it helps tame my curls considerably. Aside from tools I love Boots Coconut & Almond leave in conditioner, it's ridiculously cheap and one of the best leave in conditioners I've used x
Charlotte / coloursandcarousels

Ah this is such a fab generous prize! I remember when Cloud Nine straighteners first hit the blogosphere, I was desperate to get my hands on a pair 🙂 my cannot live without product is either Kerastase's Elixir Ultime as it smells fabulous! Or hairspray to try and keep my fringe in check 🙂 x
I've entered! Would really like to win because I use hair straighteners every single day before going out and they're a very important thing to me as I have super frizzy and puffy hair!

It would have to my tangle teezer 😀 amazing giveaway
my heat protection spray
What an amazing giveaway. My GHDs are on their way out, I've had them about 7 years. These sound like they would make an amazing replacement.

My tangle teezer
I'd say hairspray or texturising spray. It's all good having super straight hair but it needs a little helping hand to keep it like that, or to add a bit extra oomph! x

I love my hairdryer & use it almost daily.
I wouldn't ever be able to even leave the house without good conditioner and an anti frizz serum.
I couldn't live without my Bumble and Bumble black hair powder. It is so good between colouring and also does make hair styles hold longer 🙂
shampoo
conditioner! I couldn't live without it!

What a fantastic giveaway, I hear great things about the Cloud 9 hair straighteners. My can't live without hair product would have to be the Lee Stafford hair growth mask, it does nothing in terms of hair growth (what product could) but it always leaves my hair looking incredibly healthy! 🙂 xx
I love Herbal Essences Dazzling Shine, it's the only shampoo and conditioner I'll use
My hair dryer! Otherwise my hair is a frizzy mess! X
Coconut oil
My Tangle Teezer, its the best!
Hairspray
the hairdryer!
You are super generous doll and after I found out my GHDS were faulty this would be amazing, BUT I couldn't live without hair masks after all my dying and damage, tut tut xxx
The one hair care product I could not live without is leave in conditioner, my hair gets so tangled that its a must! Great giveaway by the way, I must admit I don't think GHDs are as good as they used to be, my teal ones aren't as effective as the original ones I had xx
Conditioner and Frizzease! 🙂
I wouldn't be able to live without my volumising spray because my hair is limp and lifeless without it.
coconut oil
7-14 weeks for delivery??
I am sorry, I made a typo error. It is not meant to state 7-14 weeks delivery, it is suppose to be the standard 7-14 days. Thank you very much for pointing this mistake out to me, I have amended this in the Terms & Conditions. Many thanks.
My tangle teezer hair brush. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
my heat protection spray , need to protect my hair from those beautiful straighteners
My Paul Mitchell heat protectant! It smells amazing and helps my hair to look really sleek (well, as sleek as it can get when it's this frizzy haha!)

I couldn't live without my heat protection/straightening spray, without it my hair would be absolutely awful, as I use heat on it regularly! 🙂
I heard from my hairdresser friend that cloud9 is the way to go.
Definately the choice for me for my next purchase.

I take aerial classes and I have short hair with a heavy fringe so silvikrin hairspray is the product I could not live without, works for keeping my hair out my eyes while hanging upside down, and for doing fun styles when we have a showcase!
Oooh straightners are my one true love item – nothing else helps tame this nest of hair! 🙂
