Fake Hair Straighteners and GHD Vs Cloud Nine Hair
Fake Hair Straighteners and GHD Vs Cloud Nine Hair
Manufacturers are getting more and more able to protect their products through new emerging technologies.
An example of this is Cloud Nine Hair Straighteners; Cloud Nine Hair has developed a range of straighteners in order to protect them they have included a RFID chip inside every pair making them impossible to copy.
The cloud nine hair straighteners have a traditional hologram, which has become easy to counterfeit over the last five years.
The GHD straighteners fell foul to this with counterfeit copies available through online stores. Theirs not much telling between a pair of fake or real GHD irons. Only that user reported them not lasting as long as a pair of GHD. I have an original pair I purchased three years ago they are still going strong. Only the problem was changing the fuse a couple of times on an otherwise great pair of straighteners.
So What Is RFID Technology
RFID it short stands for Radio-Frequency Identification. The acronym refers to small electronic device that consists of a small chip and an antenna. The chip carries data and when scanned gives a unique serial code.
Electronics manufacturers store all the codes from the factory and can track the life of a product. The benefits are that the product cannot be copied all the user need do to verify there pair with Cloud Nine is contact them to find out if it correlates with the master manufacturing list.
If counterfeiting does occur on the surface the straighteners will look and feel the same with the hologram. It's important that a buyer purchases their pair of irons from a reputable approved salon seller. I would recommend avoiding auction sites and sites with no helpline number or follow-up. By shopping around good deals can still be found by local hair salons bundling products together to offer good deals to their customers. Check with the salon they are an authorised reseller before hand
