Unfortunately the internet is full of websites selling fake GHD’s. These are sold as ‘genuine’ and may look identical, yet they arent the real thing! They are not built to the same standards as genuine GHD’s and as a result can malfunction and be dangerous. Some online retailers sell these ‘fakes’ yet look like reputable retailers, and may even have a ‘fake’ authorised retailer logo on their site!

Chances of GHD’s being fakes
GHD’s that you may find on a market, carboot, dodgy looking online shop, and sometimes eBay do have a possibility of being fake, so just be careful and dont forget if the price seems to good to be true, it probably is!
GHD’s direct from China are likely to be fake, so watch out for those also. Don’t forget if you purchase fake GHD’s then you are also giving your details and card details to criminals!
I have seen GHD’s on eBay, GumTree and similar sites for a good price
GHD’s being sold on these kind of sites should be purchased with caution, in particular if the item is from China or Hong Kong as most fakes originate from here. Promises of being genuine with holograms and certificates does not mean that they are. People will try and deceive you with false information. Always purchase from approved retailers such as the ones featured on this website.
