I got some from ukh

I have had GHD in the past and can honestly say that they are as good as, and you can take that as a cert as I have hair that resembles basil brushes tail ie wirey.

I have had ghd(£99) and babyliss(£55) both broke infact my ghd's set my sil wall paper on fire last year in her bedroom and the babyliss ones kept breaking my hair. I recently bought a pair of ceramic straightners from Argos they are Morphy Richards and they are really good for thick hair as i have. They were £25.49 or similar but when i took them to the till they were reduced to £16 Just make sure whatever you get are solid ceramic plates and not ceramic coated
