My wife dropped her GHD straightener which snapped off the little plastic tabs under one ceramic plate. The process and product you've described worked really well. Thanks
I just dropped my flat iron and the plate was halfway off and I'm like no way I'm buying another one, there has to be someone on UA-cam that knows how to fix it, and it was you lol. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I was so upset when my croc plate came loose at the thought of shelling out all that money on a new one or even worse having to get a cheap one but you saved me.
Thank you so much! Your video saved me from having to buy a new flat iron. Plus, I also fixed my vacuum cleaner with JB Weld. I wish I knew about this amazing, strong glue years ago.
So funny that this is from about 10 years ago. Around that time I dropped my favorite pair and one plate fell out like this... I still have them because they were somewhat new. They are right now within arms reach and looks like they will be repaired soon. Thank you!
OMG Thank you so much I am out of work right now and my flat iron broke on my last day of work I didnt know what I was going to do to get ready for future interviews with a broken flat iron YOU REALLY SAVED ME gonna try this tonight pray for me they have JB Weld in Canada :)
My chi iron did that too. It was 18 years old. I used elmers glue lol. I was in a crunch. Will go back and use your suggestions when it comes off again. Thanks.
Hello there, i have a straightener, a hand me down, looks like the one in the video but the brand name is wiped off, thats why im trying to figure out what brand it is. Its plates are orange! I think its a chi, what does urs look like? The on and off button is on the outside and it turns on a green light!
Thank you for this video. A piece of the ceramic plate on my straightener chipped off, so I will try this glue on it and let you know how it works. I have a feeling it will work just fine as I’m reading other comments. Thanks a lot!
You Totally Rock ........ Thank u so much my daughter paid 300 for a pair of herstyler irons a few years back and she allowed the warranty to expire thank you thank you.....
thanks for posting! as soon as i saw this vid, i literally went and pulled my fhi out of the waste basket in my rm..!! next trip to walmart im getting JBweld! =D
Tks for the video. Was just about to buy another expensive flat iron until I saw this. Researched the epoxy u are using but it does not say heat resistent and JB Weld has a heat resistent one already mixed. Would this one also be just as good?
loved your video...exactly what i did and how i felt.......also thanks for letting us know the department the epoxy was in cause unless you go to the automotive section they dont know they even have it.........so thanks again.
So just a follow-up.. did the plate ever pop back out since repairing it? I thought I had mine fixed once, and about a week later the glue gave way and it came back out. Thanks! Cute video, too!
omg ! thanks so much for this review ! i ordered the glue from amazon.com. came in 3 days. it does smell, but it took care of the problem. thanks a lot.
all that wiggling off the plate in the beginning.. can break the wires loose off the plate.. which would be non fixable after permanently bonding it like that
so what if one of my plates (the one above the LED light) only turns on if it is pushed down all the way on the right side of the plate? it's really weird because this plate didn't actually pop out but it only works if it is pushed down a certain way. would your repair method still work for this? thanks :)
you have just increased your chances of causing the heater element to break, you have no play on that plate and the shock when closing the ions together will go strait threw heater element as they is no shock absorption on that plate. It would of cost less to buy a new part from ion originals.

Thank you so much. This is still working in 2022. Lol I say there were faster drying J-B Weld hardener but I stuck to the original.
Thank you so much! Your video saved me from having to buy a new flat iron. Plus, I also fixed my vacuum cleaner with JB Weld. I wish I knew about this amazing, strong glue years ago.
Very helpful, I really wasn't trying to pay over $100 for a new CHI iron.

Great advice. I’ve used this twice with Selleys Kwik Grip (Australia) - no mixing.
Thanks so much! you saved my Ghd Platinum! Im so grateful for you! 💞

Thanks for this video! I bought it from Walmart for under 5 bucks and fixed my favorite cricket iron I used in cosmetology school :-)
Thankyou, yourhairchic! You've just helped me make my girlfriends day :D
So just a follow-up.. did the plate ever pop back out since repairing it? I thought I had mine fixed once, and about a week later the glue gave way and it came back out. Thanks! Cute video, too!
Thank you so much! I was about to thrown the ones I had away! I will try this!
Thank you! I was just about to trash my flat iron! I’m gonna try this!
thaaank you for this video. mine's not that loose so im thinking it will work better. oh and i loove ur hair!
omg ! thanks so much for this review ! i ordered the glue from amazon.com. came in 3 days. it does smell, but it took care of the problem. thanks a lot.
Phew I was just freaking out over this! Thank god I found this video as soon as I did☺
Thank you so much I’ll try this to fix my hair straightener 🤎
@graylife21 I would say no. JB WELD is a different chemical bond. JB WELD has temp ranges indicating it can be used with heated or cooled objects.
Thank you SO much! I just did this to my Chi. Hopefully it'll work tomorrow!
Omg thank you!! You saved my pocket and my straightener!!! Blessings and thank you once again!!-3
all that wiggling off the plate in the beginning.. can break the wires loose off the plate.. which would be non fixable after permanently bonding it like that
That just happened to me 😢😢
Thank u helped me alot! Saved my husband some $ lol 😊😉😊😉
what if my flat iron is chipped? like only half of it broke off can I still do this?
what kind of straightener is this? how can you fix one that wont heat up anymore?
What kind of glue is this
@guacgirl did you give it a try?
CRAZY GLUE STICKS FOR A WHILE BUT IT MELTS FROM THE CONSTANT EXCESSIVE HEAT . I TRIED IT
how much is the jb weld?? omg i cant wait to try
do you need both tubes of JB weld?
Just what I needed. Thank you!!
what if my ceramic plate literally broke off? will the glue still work that way??
Thank you very much for the informative video! It was helpful to me thank you.
Blessings!! on my way to Walmart:)
Mine barely pops out, is it still safe to use?
what model ghd is it and what is the problem ?
I im afraid it can be dangerous tell me if it's safe
is it a ghd if so what model is it
Desde España. Muchas gracias por tu aporte. wapisima. ;)
She's so gorgeous
so what if one of my plates (the one above the LED light) only turns on if it is pushed down all the way on the right side of the plate? it's really weird because this plate didn't actually pop out but it only works if it is pushed down a certain way. would your repair method still work for this? thanks :)
Sounds like a connection/wire which repairing you would have to release plate then glue back I guess💁
Lol why am I answering a 9 yr old Q 🤦
I have a probliss, it was a simple solution i already figured it out thanks
@yourhairchic YES! I SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED MY FHI RUNWAY!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!
Yay! Thank you so very much! You are a doll.

Any suggestions for repair steps/process which would help avoid the issues you mentioned please 🙏
Do you work for ion originals lol
Thanks!!!!
*use..... and it still has the cushion effect :-)
Thx!
thanks i love you
Ahhh this happened to me today!
شكرا حبي

omg ! thanks so much for this review ! i ordered the glue from amazon.com. came in 3 days. it does smell, but it took care of the problem. thanks a lot.
