Contemplating a new addition to your hair-styling arsenal? While GHD Black Friday deals beckon with promises of premium tools at reduced prices, there might be a smarter approach to achieving both beautiful hair and a healthier bank balance. Let's untangle the truth about seasonal sales and find out whether Black Friday is the best time to buy a GHD.

GHD Black Friday sales to expect this year

The archives of Black Friday 2023 reveal some illuminating numbers. The versatile GHD Glide Hot Brush, a morning routine revolutionary, saw its price smoothed down by an impressive 40% according to price comparison site Idealo – enough to make anyone's hair stand on end (though ironically, that's precisely what it prevents). Idealo also shows the Helios hairdryer breezed in with a 25% reduction during last year’s sale, while records from PriceRunner show the untethered freedom of the Unplugged Cordless Styler became 20% more attainable. These discounts certainly turned heads, setting an intriguing precedent for this year's potential offerings.

However, much like a perfectly styled hairdo, timing is everything. The real question isn't just about how much you might save, but whether waiting for Black Friday is truly the best way to get a discount on premium styling tools.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy GHDs?

Here’s where things get interesting. A curious pattern emerges when examining GHD pricing throughout the year. Some products, like the Helios hairdryer, have pricing that remains relatively steady throughout the year. Others display more mercurial tendencies, with prices that fluctuate like humidity levels on a summer day. While Black Friday might seem like the holy grail of shopping days, it's not the only time you can score amazing deals on GHD products.

But here's the game-changing secret that savvy shoppers might like to know: buying refurbished hair tools is like having a permanent VIP pass to Black Friday prices. Back Market often has prices equivalent to GHD Black Friday sales all year round on refurbished hair tools from this popular brand. No need to wait until November, no need to set those 3 AM alarms, and definitely no need to wrestle with other shoppers in a virtual queue!

Should you buy during the GHD Black Friday sale?

Picture yourself on Black Friday morning: perched at your computer, multiple browsers open, attempting to orchestrate the perfect purchase and get the best deal of the day. Now, imagine this instead: you're casually browsing Back Market on your lunch break, mug in hand, calmly comparing prices on premium refurbished GHDs. No pressure, no panic, just pure, peaceful shopping bliss. Which scenario sounds more like your cup of tea?

Buying something just because it’s on sale rather than when needed is a bit like cutting your own fringe at midnight – an endeavour that often leads to morning regret. The smartest approach is to buy when you actually need something, not when the calendar tells you to. Plus, the truth is that buying refurbished hair electricals is not only more cost-effective, but it’s also an environmentally friendly way to shop.

GHD top picks for 2024

Here are our top GHD styling tools to consider:

£116.24 before trade-in (RRP £129.00 new)

GHD Glide Hot Brush

The GHD Glide Hot Brush elegantly bridges the gap between bedhead and boardroom-ready. Rather like having a personal stylist tucked away in your drawer, it tames and smooths hair with ceramic technology and a temperature of 185°C to transform morning chaos into sleek sophistication.

£220.00 before trade-in (RRP £299.00 new)

GHD Unplugged Styler

The GHD Unplugged Styler is another great buy. With up to 20 minutes of styling time, this compact cordless straightener is ideal for use away from home. A 45-second heat-up time, ceramic-coated plates and dual-zone technology make this straightener the equivalent of a fast-pass ticket to sleek, polished locks.

£145.00 before trade-in (RRP £170.00 new)

GHD Helios

For a lightweight but powerful hairdryer, you could choose the GHD Helios. It features Aeroprecis™ technology and a longer-life brushless motor and can deliver up to 30% more shine according to GHD. The result? A professional-grade blow-dry without the salon small talk.

Getting GHD deals all year long

Let's discuss a cheeky aspect of seasonal sales: the practice of price inflation before Black Friday. Some retailers temporarily hike their prices in October or November before Black Friday hits to make their price drops seem bigger than they really are. Unless you’re tracking prices throughout the month, it can be hard to tell whether you’re actually getting a great deal.

Instead of playing pricing games, Back Market keeps it real with year-round discounts that can save you up to 50% off retail prices. When you shop with us you’ll also get:

  • A 30-day return window

  • A reassuring one-year warranty

  • The satisfaction of making an environmentally conscious choice that helps reduce e-waste

So, should you invest in GHD tools this Black Friday?

Consider this: a quality hair styling tool is much like a trusted hairdresser – reliability and consistency matter more than a one-time bargain. While GHD Black Friday sales might present appealing discounts, true value lies in acquiring the right tool at the right time, through a trustworthy source.

Our approach combines the savings of buying refurbished products with the satisfaction of sustainable consumption. It's kind of like finding a perfect styling routine – once you discover something that works brilliantly, why limit yourself to using it just one day a year?
