Cloud Nine Original Iron hair straightener review

The Cloud Nine Iron got the beauty industry buzzing – and rightly so. The original founder of ghd, Robert Powls, decided he could create even better styling tools when he left the company, welcome in Cloud Nine.

Suitable for all hair types, they use state-of-the-art temperature control technology, allowing you to create a multitude of exciting looks, without having to use searing heat.

The hair straightening irons are designed with intelligent temperature control technology to give you a sleek, shiny finish and kinder styling.

Design of the Cloud Nine Original Iron

This multi-award winning iron helps you magic up a gorgeous style in no time at all, whether you’re creating bouncy curls, super sleek tresses or beach-babe waves.

The floating design of the ceramic plates ensures they glide through your locks without any unwelcome snagging. You can also easily control the temperature, while the clever MicroComputer heating system and sensor adjust the heat as you straighten to ensure this iron is kind to your hair.

The mineral-infused design helps to maintain an even heat across the plates to give you a wonderfully professional finish. The “special and mysterious ingredient” from Cloud Nine gives your hair added shine and sparkle, each and every time you use your irons.

Each Iron contains a special chip with its own unique ID number. This lets you know that it is an official flat iron and allows Cloud Nine to monitor each one.

Heat settings

With a range of temperature settings between high, medium and low, you can choose the temperature to suit your style and your hair. The one-touch temperature control lets you change the heat setting easily, and with the clear LED display you’ll always know what level of heat you’re applying to your hair. With low, medium and high heat options, plus everything in-between, you can learn to create styles with your irons at lower temperatures. The LED panel gives a clear indication of temperature, and with a simple tap of the button you can raise or lower heat.

Cloud Nine tools are equipped with a MiCOM (MicroComputer) controlled heating system, meaning that they basically ‘think’ for themselves, adjusting temperature according to the thermal sensor’s calculations. MiCom control is combined with Ceramic Heat Element technology found in all Cloud Nine styling tools to ensure a completely even temperature across the entire super-smooth, mineral-infused, ceramic surface.

Intelligent Sleep Technology

This intelligent sleep technology automatically kicks in when the irons have been switched on, but not used for 30 minutes. When in this mode they’ll cool down to ‘box temperature’.

What Zoella thinks of the Cloud Nine Original Iron

Beauty blogger Zoella has also reviewed these hair straighteners on her blog, and she was certainly a fan of them.

“They are, by far, the best straighteners I have ever used. My hair looks so much more shiny and healthy after using them.”
