Yea, just checked, seems to have been removed.

£75 is still a bargain though.....

£75 is brilliant!!! i got mine in 05 cost me £105. i'm still so impressed how quick they heat up, in my opinion they're worth every penny.

Just to add my two penneth, I treated myself a couple of years back to Vidal Sassoon Maximum (retro, cream coloured straighteners) - they'd been reduced from £70 to £35 and I had some vouchers...

They have been fab, and I saw them on the boots site the other day, now only £19.99 - heat to about 220c, adjustable, solid ceramic plates, long cord, two year guarantee (on all Vidal Sassoon I think?)

What some people see is how good their hair looks out of the salon, when they've used the GHDs - but its not just the tool, its the hairdressers skill too remember.

My hairdresser won't use GHDs, most of her salon ones are T3, which are similar price - she also considers KODO to be just as good at about 1/3 the price.

If you are looking at other brands, look carefully - a lot say they are ceramic, but a closer look reveals they are ceramic coated - opt for solid ceramic plates, and apparently tourmaline is very good.

Look for a decent cord length too - it helps.

Incidentally, I have just bought my niece a pair today, Vidal Sassoon Micro Crystal ones, come in a tin going for about £25 on Amazon, over £30 other places, got these for £15 from Ethel Austin.

I don't know much about micro crytsal ones, but two great reviews on Ciao, all the plus points as far as I can see (high, adjustable temp, long cord, auto switch off after 60 minutes GREAT IDEA), and yes, they come with a 2 year guarantee too.

Can I use my GHDs in Canada/USA?

Mine are T3's and are great, much kinder to hair than GHD's but great results
