Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Ghd gold styler professional hair straighteners: Was £169, now, £126.75, Amazon.co.uk
A saving of a quarter makes a big difference when it comes to shopping for a pricier purchase, so we welcome this saving with open arms.
We named this model best for straightening and curling in our best ghd straighteners guide – an incredibly high accolade – where our reviewer praised the tool as a “versatile option” delivering “a straight and glossy finish in minutes”. Also adding, “whether you’re looking for loose waves or glamorous bouncy curls, the curved design of the barrel and edges of the plate made quick and easy work of it.”
Comparing it with the ghd original styler (£109, Amazon.co.uk), our tester reckoned the gold style straighteners create a “smoother, sleeker finish.” Which, for haircare aficionados, is all we really want.
The coded electric styler has two heat sensors and a maximum temperature setting of 185C. Warming up in 25 seconds, the tool comes complete with a handy automatic sleep mode, which turns off if it hasn’t been used after 30 minutes. This safety switch-off provides peace of mind if you’re rushing to get out the door or, like us, often forget to turn off your hair tool – guilty as charged.
As the brand’s name and our reviewer can testify, these straighteners will help you have a good hair day, and the more purse-friendly price is great news for your bank account too.
