Sometimes a brand will brand a product and call it new and the difference from it's previous version to it's newer version is very minor. This is not the case for the new GHD Eclipse. Newer technology. 3 Sensors on the plates that even out and keep the plates at the same temperature throughout of 165 degrees. Which is the perfect temperature for styling. Simple and easy to use, perfect for career woman and a mother, who has very little time. The GHD eclipse will make you look fabulous in just a few minutes. Only needs one stroke to make it dead straight or for perfect curls. Aerogel technology (made of the same stuff that they use on spaceships) which means the outer shell of the GHD never gets hot. Impressive.
