GHDs - IV or Gold?

[PasstheTwiglets]

Are the Gold series straighteners worth the extra £40 or so? I'm not bothered about the hot-plate cover that comes with it but the sleeker/smoothjer plates and so on - are they worth the extra money?

[Billiemumoftwo]

ooh I really want to know this too!

i just bought the big gold ghds and they are fantastic! i have the ordinary ghds too but my hairdresser used the gold ones on me and they leave your hair like silk I have the coarsest thickest hair and i am sitting now with ribbons of silk lol!!! buy them now

[PasstheTwiglets]

Sounds like you like them then, beverley :) My hair is very fine and straight and flat anyway so I'm not sure if I'd need the added silkiness thing. I use my straighteners to do flicks, not to straighten. This confused DH no end :o

[beverleyjayne]

i love them lol, but i do think they would be more for coarse thick hair. do you have the ordinary ghds or are u thinking of splashing out?

[PasstheTwiglets]

I don't hav any GHDs, I only have cheapy Argos ones but want some decent ones. I suppose next to £20 straighteners, anY GHDs would be an improvement. But then if you're going to spend £90 you may as well spend £130...?

I like your philosophy PasstheTwiglets. If you are going to invest, invest properly

Keep trying to get DH to come around to my way of thinking. He's slowly getting there.

[PasstheTwiglets]

Well I just found a bargain! Managed to get the Gold ones for £98, so at only £10 more than the IVs I decided to go for it :) Gold ones are on the way, woohoo!

[beverleyjayne]

at that price u couldnt refuse !!! sure they are nearly free

[PasstheTwiglets]

Exactly, beverley! Now to work out what to spend the money I saved on... :o
