I got given this to me for my birthday after my remington finally died after using it for 10 years. And i am in love!!! i have wanted a GHD as long as i could remember but i never could justify spending $300 on a straightener i wouldnt use all the time.
Knowing how it works now, i wish i bought it earlier. It is nice and slimline which is easy to store and travel with. I love the thin barrels which allow me to curl my hair as well. It makes me hair so smooth and straight and will last all day. It straightens my thick, coarse and frizzy hair so easily and i cant see how i ever lived without one.
Love love love my GHD and would recommend to everyone!!!!
100% I am in love with this little baby. I wanted a GHD for the longest time and my lovely hubby got one for me last Christmas and I have been in love ever since.
I have straight but frizzy hair, in that if I don't style it I look like I have had an electric shock (well I actually did get an electric shock off an old cheap straightener years ago but that's another story) Basically even when my hair is tied up in a bun (most days) I have frizzy fly-aways all over, on the top/sides/back EVERYWHERE - seriously I look like I have an aura or a hair halo around my head. My GHD has been a godsend, I use it both on dry and damp hair and get fabulous results. It takes seconds to heat up and I love that even when I am in a hurry I can quickly do the frizziest parts of my hair and it stays put until the next wash.
To use I generally straighten my hair in little sections - I tie my hair on top of my head in a bun and leave a bit out the back, straighten that and move the straightened hair to one shoulder and leave the un-straightened on the other side, that way I can ensure that I zap all of my frizz monsters and am left with shiny straight easy to manage hair.
Lets face it GHDs are expensive but in my opinion they are worth every penny - I don't know one single person who has regretted buying one and most hold on to them for years so a solid investment for your hair (and sanity!)
Tips: If you lack volume on the top of your head only start to straighten from one inch (or a couple of fingers width) from the roots of your hair - works a treat.
