GHD straightners

  • I've had several pairs of GHD's over the years I've never seen them on sale though here they are for a reasonable price from a reputable website:

    You could also try hair salons which tend to sell them at a good price too.

    However a lot of GHD's on ebay are fake! I'd be very wary if you see them for sale anywhere for much cheaper than the usual price.

    If I were you I would get them online from Boots or Tesco (where I got mine) & get the points & KNOW they are not fakes.

    GHD have a reputation for breaking down when little over a year old.

    DD friends who are teens rage about Babyliss ones saying they are better than the GHD they had.

    I've had babyliss, they were useless for my thick wavy hair.

    GHDs are the best I have tried. They are worth the investment as you wont by several other lesser quality ones trying to find something as good. HQ hair were where I got mine from.

    Were they the expensive Babyliss ones. I think they are about £80-90 last time I looked.

    I have curly hair but it's fine so straigtens easy and I use my Andrew Colinge £10 job from Boots sale. DD was impressd by them so I bought a second pair off ebay for £10 (graded stock) and her friends have been impressed with them too as they have digital varying temp. and switch off automatically after 1 hour (saves worrying I've left them on).

    Saying that the teens are really good at straightening any hair with any straighteners IMO. I think they put in more effort:D

  • I found some GHD IV straighteners on a very professional website (ghd555.com) for £69! I should have looked more closely at the website, though. The goods were shipped from Beijing into Coventry whereupon UK Border Agency asked a representative from Jemella Group (the owners of the ghd brand) to inspect them. They were declared to be counterfeit and so would be destroyed. I had paid with a Lloyds TSB Visa debit card so I contacted them and sent copies of all paperwork. I'm now waiting to get my money back. In the meantime I visited the ghdhair.com website which lists sites which sell the real thing. I should have done that in the first place. Beware ghd555.com!

    I don't know if they do sales, you just have to find a good deal! I got mine for £94 a year and a half a go from LookFantastic, they're still as amazing as the day I got them and I use them just about everyday.

    With having curly wavy hair, are you wanting the wider plates? Just looked on amazon and they're selling them for £89.34 which is pretty good! Sorry I can't recommend other straighteners, GHDs are the best in my books!

    Mine were an Xmas pressie from my Mum last year, and although I only use them occasionally (hairdresser's advice - hormone related problems means I have problem with hair falling out) when I do use them I have found they are the only straighteners I have had that get my hair poker-straight and keep it that way. (my hair is also thick and naturally curly)
    i had the Nicky Clarke supposed professional type ones and they were rubbish - by the time I had finished straightening my hair with them it was starting to curl again!
