    Far too cheap. Approach this site with caution. Alternatively, don't approach it at all...

    I think the official GHD company website lists approved web sellers, and probably a black list as well.

  • If you want cheaper straighteners get the babyliss pro 230, I have hard to straghten hair and they work better that GHD they also only cost about £30!!!!
    I have had my set for 3 years now and never had a problem with them so they last better as well
