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.

...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!!

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 ...

...~~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 ...

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.

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.

I was so excited when they arrived, plugged them in, turned them on, and seconds later the little red LED is flashing intermittently to tell me they're ready for use (excellent - as I am not a patient person!).

...sure that they are proper GHD straighteners and not the Hairtools ones, which are often advertised as being GHD style ceramic straighteners (style being the appropriate word – they look virtually identically but the ceramic technology is slightly different (more about that later)).

Advantages: Superb, smooth, sleek healthy looking hair in minutes Disadvantages: Effects are spoilt if hair gets wet
...my hair off using the GHD straighteners so I could see what I thought. Despite initially being very skeptical I have to admit that I was impressed with results, I received so many compliments from friends and my husband loved my new style – so much so, that with a bit help by me continually whining on about how good they were, he offered to buy them for me. At £99.50 they are not cheap but they are well worth every penny.

...I ever experienced straight hair GHD style, I have been on a mission to find a cheap alternative, that would give me the same sleek, straight hair but at a lower price. That was about 3 years ago.

They don't just straighten your hair, you can also use them to curl, flip, twirl and shine your hair. They even claim to condition it, although quite how running 210 degrees of heat across your hair can possibly condition it I'm not sure. They claim:

...had my first experience with GHD straighteners at the hairdressers a couple of months ago. I was seeing a new stylist, and she asked me how I wanted my long hair dried.

The results were nothing short of amazing! My hair is at best slightly wavy and at worst a big mess of frizz. It has natural waves in it, but even if I try to encourage these with styling products, it just looks a mess as it doesn’t curl evenly and has kinks in it, so I tend to prefer to dry it straight. Unfortunately, it has a mind of its own and what might seem like a magic combination of styling products/techniques ...

GHD stands for “Good hair day” Something very appropriate. At the moment GHD do not have very many products on the market, but their straightener is still selling like crazy. Slowly but surely they are adding new products to their range. One of the reasons I was so attracted to GHD hair straighteners was merely because celebrities like Gwneyth Paltrow said they swore by them, and this was the secret to their poker straight ...
