Five leading brands received the minimum required survey sample size of 30 responses to be included in this year’s ratings. So, what did they find?

Cloud Nine hair straightener straightens out the competition

Cloud Nine dominated Canstar Blue’s 2020 hair straighteners review, rating best for performance and reliability, ease of use, hair care and overall satisfaction – knocking ghd off its throne to end its four-year reign of dominance. 

ghd kept its five-star streak in the hair care and weight & size departments, but landed on four stars in other categories, including overall satisfaction, and three stars on value for money.

Remington similarly finished on four stars, but clearly impressed Aussies in terms of value for money as it rated best in this area this year. VS Sassoon and Kmart ended on three stars for overall satisfaction.
