beautysleuth website is good!

Don't delay - just get them!

Best £85 I've ever spent!

agree with wheresthehamster!!! they changed my life!! ( i don;t get out much!!) but honestly...believe the hype and buy theM!!

what is so great about these straightners and warrants you spending a lot of money on them ? just asking because I hate my straightners and need to buy a new set

tell me the hype

Bananaknickers .... they are magic! They WORK! I have had every kind of straightener known to man and 2 weeks ago I became the proud owner of a pair of ghds ... my life will never be the same ... I love them and I fear if there was a fire I would run to get them before running for my children

Imagine - you're 50 years old and you have something that your 14 year old daughter wants to borrow. That's how good GHDs are.

I am on my 4th pair. I have thick shoulder length hair and I can never get it like the salon

How do GHDs differ from other straighteners? I have cheapo ceramic ones and a lot of wavy hair and they don't really work... would GHDs make a difference?

Another advocate for ghds here
my hair is very naturally curly and up until the age of 24 (am now 31 & a 1/2) NO-ONE but no-one could tame my frizzy mop. At a salon they worked the tony and guy magic with the ghds, i bought some and (((((lots of fairy dust emoticon))))))) they CHANGED MY HAIR FOREVER!!!!
i have tried many other types, all useless on my hair, but ghds, they do the business. I am on my second pair, much to dh's disgust...."if they broke after 3 years why buy another pair of the same brand???" Of course his Man Thinking was entirely wrong..........
I bought another pair cause they...........
MAKE MY HAIR SILKY AND STRAIGHT WHEN IT IS NATURALLY A BALL OF CURLY FLUFF.
AND I LIKE THEM!
AND I LIKE MY HAIR WHEN IT DOES THIS!!!
XXX happy straightening!

yes hotter
faster smoother

I don't know why ghds are so much better, but they are.

I had cheapish ones and it tooks so much more work and the effect was never quite as straight as I'd like!

now i know what to ask dp to get me for christmas!!

From a hair product website:

GHD original professional hair straightener heats up to 190 degrees in 7 seconds!
GHD's computer chip technology provides constant even heat monitoring giving you professional hair straighteners with total styling control. As well as ceramic plates this GHD straightening iron has a ceramic heating element which creates a negative ion charge that seals in moisture, natural oils and hair colour.

I think most straighteners don't have the negative ion charge thingy which is kind of like anti-static, so that is why GHDs are better. HTH

Bum, so me spending £20 on el-cheapo ceramic straighteners from Tesco this morning was a bad idea then?

bloody marvellous , never ever wear my hair straight unless Ive used them, look just like salon straightened hair after a few mins. I havent had to do my hair all week, just one little touch up so to speak . So much better for your hair to leave it like that withought washing and washing over and over to keep it straight and shiny.

lol I sound like an advert.

Theyre my youngest sisters and we share them with my other sister too HUGE saving that way.

So, do people use "product" on their hair before straightening (-to protect it from the heat)?

i got mine off ebay £70

It's an INVESTMENT. I have looked around, you are not going to get them for much cheaper than 75quid. I am going to get a pair myself, cause even though I already HAVE a relatively expensive set bought from a salon, which are quite good - they are PANTS in comparison to GHDs. I say this on a hairdresing HIGH, having just come back with the straightest hair EVER (and last time I went, it stayed straight for 3 days - and I was really cross at having to wash it...) My sister also has a pair, and she bought them round. I was sold...

When I stayed with my mum earlier this year, I used hers. They were so much better than the ones I have.
They made my hair really smooth and unlike mine, you dont have to run them through a zillion times to get rid of kinks.
I'm certainly getting some for xmas.
