GHD Professional Ceramic Straightener

Advantages: They work, They work, They work, They work

...£94 on a pair of GHD Professional Ceramic Hair Straighteners. Now I'm not proud of spending that amount of money on a beauty product but stay with me, read this and you'll be hooked. I have nightmare hair. Until I was about 16 it was poker straight hair. I could wash it and leave it to dry and it dried just like I had come out of a timotei advert (only with brown hair not blonde) Suddenly adolescence hit and my hit turned frizzy, wavy and basically ...
...and they got out some GHD Straighteners. She came round my house to show me and I actually couldn't believe it. Her hair was amazing. Not a frizz in place and the transformation from curly friend to a straight friend was amazing. Now I have some Revlon steam assisted Straighteners that cost me £45 and I lent these to my friend. However she did some research and came up with the sensible solution that using straighteners that rely on steam are probably ... Read review

Advantages: They actually work!
Disadvantages: They're don't come cheap

...commercial break, this company called GHD advertised acting as “Sponsors of The Salon”. GHD was being marketed as the God of hair products. The "new religion in hair care". GHD? I thought. Who’re they when they’re at home? BaByliss I’ve heard of but GHD?? And the God of hair products? Come off it! As if!! Or so I thought…. As time went on I started hearing more and more about this GHD company. I eventually learnt the initials stood for “Good Hair ...
...a company! GHD soon started to focus in predominantly on their hair straighteners. This was when my ears pricked up to listen intently. Ok. We’re always seeing these hair dressers on the telly demonstrating how easy it is to get straight hair. They run these hair straighteners through someone’s hair and miraculously the hair is transformed from a frizzy mess into a sleek, smooth head of hair. I’d come to the conclusion that it was either a trick ... Read review

Advantages: Heat in seconds, Can straighten and curl, really work.
Disadvantages: The initial price.

...~~The Technical Bit~~ GHD ceramic stylers come in three styles, Professional (available in black or pink), Salon Styler and Mini Styler. I have the first type, though would go for the professional if ever I had to replace them. The salon is the more common due to it's price and practicality. The Professional Styler features wider plates meaning you can work quicker through larger sections of hair which makes it ideal for thicker or heavier hair. ...
...However the people at GHD to claim that the iron emits negative ions, which reduce static and create shine by closing the cuticle and that infra-red heat actually protects your hair by sealing in its natural oils, moisture and hair colour, so it could be that also! The irons come in a box, but you must let the irons cool before putting them back in. You can buy special mats or bags that are able to cope with the heat meaning you can put them away ...

Advantages: They work, very quick to heat, no mess
Disadvantages: Expense, addictive

...I have been introduced to ghd straighteners in earnest and I cant help but want to write about them. I am actually sitting writing this sporting my newly straightened hair, which might not seem much to write home about but believe me, this is an achievement not to be underestimated… I have naturally very curly hair, if left to its own devices it will curl and frizz to its hearts content… on better days I can get some decent looking ringlets out ...
...nicely by a pair of ghd straighteners. After only around 10 minutes I was allowed to see the results and there was a comedy double take moment when even I had trouble recognising my own hair… smooth, sleek and most of all – straight! Some minor adjustment later and we were ready to go – which is when the real test begins… would the newly straightened hairdo last the whole evening or am I destined to return home at midnight like some frizzy Cinderella ...

Advantages: Smooth, sleek, fabulous hair
Disadvantages: Your bank manager won't like you very much

...savings (£87-man I’m rich!) on GHD straighteners. GHD, or good hair day, are renowned throughout the hair industry as producing not only the best, but the most expensive straighteners out there, and are used by celebrities, celebrity hairstylists and the best in the business. So of course I had to have them. This is the part where I brag about them. They come fully equipped with: • Ceramic plates which heat up to 210 degrees in 7 seconds • Temperature ...
...than many websites, including the GHD website which charges £95 for the same product. I would urge you to look around when buying such an expensive product, particularly when there’s such variation out there online. You could purchase a pair on Ebay for a very reasonable price, but you must take into consideration the postal charges and the feedback of the seller before bidding. I know you’ll think me very sad, but I must say I got rather excited ... Read review

Advantages: STRAIGHT HAIR!!
Disadvantages: They are not the cheapest of items!!

...To begin with I must say that my hair is THICK and FRIZZY and WAVY!!! Before GHD's were invented nothing could control the state of my locks. I tried several different straighteners but alas they could not fully straighten or tame by thick hair. Then my friend introduced me to GHD (good hair day) professional ceramic straighteners. At first I was sceptical but after testing hers I knew that these were the straighteners for me. . . . . The GHD's glided effortlessly through my hair and left it looking POKER STRAIGHT!!! I had never experienced this before and was amazed that it had worked so well. I have found though that it is best to straighten small sections at a time rather than attempting to get as much hair as possible into the straighteners in one go - this provides for optimum straightening. I also found that the GHD's left... Read review

Advantages: Long Swivel Cord
Disadvantages: May stain with cheap hair dye

...it's the usual catch-22, you have straight hair- you want curls, you have waves- you want it to be straight. whenever i put effort into transforming my waves/curls/kinks i want to get it as straight and sleek as possible. the only place that has ever been able to achieve this to perfection was at the hair dressers where she could take her time to blow dry to perfection. at first i thought: "what about relaxer cream," but i later found out that this was merely to calm tight curls and frizz, not for the likes of my hair. then a new innovation came out: ceramic hair straighteners. and in the best salons you were able to have treatment from the £100 straighteners such as ghd. so that was the solution: ghd ceramic plates?..one problem, did i really want to fork out nearly £100? then for my 16 birthday i was given the babyliss...
