Behold the Gold-Plated ghd Midnight Hair Straightener

I imagine a certain amount of pride might come with owning a luxury item like the gold-plated ghd Midnight hair straightener collection. Few would ever see it, but you'll know it's in your possession.

Sold for startling $289, the deluxe hair iron is much cheaper than one would expect. Sold in a set including sectioning clips and a case, the salon Gold Classic Styler is still an excellent way to splurge on primping appliances.
