Pre Mk3 Models

At one point GHD sold straighteners without model numbers. There are many subtle variations that are slightly different however (not knowing any better) I've decided to christen them all "pre mk3" versions.

These straighteners frequently have all the hall marks of being fake, however in actual fact GHDs were not even a twinkle in the eye of the counterfeiters! For example:

They don't have a hologram or any form of label stating the model number at all!
The connections to the PCB are often soldered rather than screwed.

They have a square end where the cable connects. Cables failure is what normally causes them to break. They use the same cable as used in the all other GHD's (i.e. this one). To replace the cable you need to undo the hinge and then take the lid off the cable connection (which can be quite tight, so you may need to lever it with a screw driver).

The other failure we see quite often is that the plastic simply gets so old and brittle that it disintegrates into dust! If this happens to you, then you best bet is to buy a new pair.

Spares

We do have some broken Pre Mk3 GHD's available for spares. These are not listed on our shop, as they are not in demand very much. If you are looking for parts however, please get in contact and we'll see if we can help.
