These simple little ceramic hair irons revolutionised the 'straight and sleek' hairstyle in the noughties.

Suddenly, everyone from your little sister to your mum boasted locks so smooth and shiny you could see your reflection in them (well, nearly). The ghd (Good Hair Day) company was founded in 2001 and word of the ghd irons spread fast.

Now you'd be hard pushed to find a girl who doesn't have access to a pair. But the real beauty of these irons is that once you grow bored with your straight and sleek barnet, you can create big ringletty curls with them too.
