GHD Straighteners (merged threads)

SamW

I got my GHDs for Christmas 2 years ago and they're still going strong
I really like them as I have thick wavy hair which has a tendency to frizz (how sorry does everyone feel for me?!?! lol!) and it sorts my hair out in 15mins tops.
Also, I know my parents brought them from the internet and they got a free large size toni&guy straightening spray, shampoo and conidtioner with it because they emailed before buying and asked if they could 'throw anything in'. Mine are the thinner plates and I think they cost around £90 - well worth the investment

Another vote here for the Babyliss Pro 230's! I bought them off Amazon a while back and am really happy with them and I've tried a LOT of straighteners in the past! I think they are currently selling them on Amazon for £37.49 which is a bargain if you can't find them at Boots!

One extra thing I love about them is the heat resistant mat/bag so that when I'm finished with them I can put them straight in the bag and don't have to leave them out to cool down first

I've recently bought the Babyliss Pro230 from Argos for half price (£37.49) and then saw them in Asda for £30

I'm very happy with them and they come with three hair grips to section your hair and a heat-proof mat and case. They heat up really quickly and do the job well. I just really couldn't justify spending all that money on GHDs.

GHD's also curl very well!

tried the ghd's and the babliss and thought it was hard work and fell in with a pair of remington wet to straight and i never looked back - they heat up quickly and have a veriable heat setting and cut the styling time in half (i don't have to dry my hair first :T ) and when my friend (part-time hairdresser) used them she was well impressed have been using them for about 3 years now and would be lost without them and i have longer than shoulderlength hair (if that makes sence) and a bad shoulder so the drying and them the straightening was a struggle

Another GHD fan here and I'm shallow enough to say they 'changed my life' after years of struggling with thick, frizzy hair. When my first pair broke, I didn't think about other brands - a new pair were on my doorstep in four days (with Boots, Quidco, a discount code and a 10 points per pound weekend they were more like £70 than £125).

That said, I got my GHDs first when they were the only ceramic straighteners on the market and others may be as good now. It's just that I know they work and don't want to waste time and money finding out others don't (if that makes sense)!

Wow thanks so much for this. I have alot to think about. I was looking on ebay but as most are fake, I won't be buying there :mad:

I must admit the babyliss ones look tempting as they are alot cheaper.

Thanks. My hair is shoulder length, there seems to be different sizes, which is best? narrow, wide??

I never thought it would be so complicated to do my hair

Great advise.

Can I just ask if these are the ones you mean?

Yes its the ones that are now half price and are now £37.49 at Argos. Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance! Fab Straighteners!


On the subject of the Remington Wet to Straight ones I tried those and didn't rate them at all! A big thumbs down for the Wet to Straight ones!
