...to such extreme temperatures!
GHD Irons can also be used as curling tongs, by curling the hair around the irons themself, so you wont have to invest in a pair of these - it's two for the price of one! You can also use them to create little flicks in your hair, and to style it into different ways - theres a little cute booklet included in the box for ways of how to do this, and it's not too interesting so I wont go into that here.

Next, section your hair into about two or three large sections (depending on thickness) in layers. Work your way through your hair starting from the bottom section quickly. (Oops, dont forget to turn them on first!) Until you get to the top layer. Then stop, turn off the straighteners and brush through the top layer of hair. Turn on the straigteners again and immediately ...

Advantages: STRAIGHT HAIR!! Disadvantages: They are not the cheapest of items!!
...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 ... ...You can also purchase other GHD products specifically designed for the purpose of protecting your hair when straightening it.
It must also be noted that not only do GHD's have the capacity to straighten hair, they can curl your hair to perfection too. Although I have found that there is a certain skill required in curling the hair.
At around £99 I had to wait until my birthday to get some of my own as I couldn't afford them myself!! They are not ...

...people singing the praises of GHD straighteners, but at £100 they were too expensive to buy only to be consigned to the hair appliance graveyard at the bottom of my wardrobe. I already had two sets of straighteners there that I rarely used.

The whole thing measures about 10" by 2.5" so are quite compact, (the actual plates are about 1" by 4") they are also very light. They have a salon length cord, which is about 2 metres.

The whole process for straightening the whole head is amazingly quick because of the extreme heat the stylers give. So they are perfect to use when getting ready for work, or when in a rush.

I could have the original ceramic styling iron for £99.00 or the ceramic mini styler for £89.00. But she recommended that I go for the ceramic salon styler which retail price is £103.50, boy did I have a choice.

...used to use them, but GHD easily replaces them for minimal charge. One pair blew up and the other wires just sort of came away. They werent ever dangerous however I'd still take the risk!
The stylers are also really easy to curl hair or make waves, as soon as you get the knack. I would reccomend them fully.. just make sure you keep the warranty incase anything goes wrong. they are really easy to get replaced. ...

Advantages: Super sleek, shiny hair, FAST!!! Disadvantages: Expensive
If there is one beauty product I could not live without it HAS to be my GHD's!!!!!
I got my first pair the year they came out when super straight hair was the only hair to have!!
I myself have almost waist length wavy hair which is super frizzy when not properly dryed and styled.
My first pair lasted 3 yrs and then the wire split where the irons and wire met, so I thought oh I will buy a cheap pair they all have ceramic plates now!!
WRONG decision ... ...hair felt like it was sticking to the plates instead of gliding!
I was so not impressed!!
So of to the hairdresssers I went and parted with 99 pounds and 99 pence....THE BEST HUNDRED QUID I HAVE SPENT!!!
They have updated the irons since I bought my first pair, and improved it slightly.
They have a red LED light that flashes when the ceramic plates are up to temperature which is SUPER fast....about 6 seconds.
I must say though they do get VERY ...

GHDs have ceramic plates, which not only enables them to glide through your hair effortlessly it also means that they are lighter than other non-ceramic straighteners. As they're only ...

When she said she wanted ghd's i thought she was talking about some kind of STD.. But no apparently not.
These hair straighteners seem to be all the rage throughout the female community.
At first I was a little confused as to why. The price seemed far too much and their were others on the market for a hell of a lot less.
My initial thoughts were, buy the girl some crockery and a microwave then she can build her own.
That didnt go down too well, ... ...credit card and spend my lifes savings on something that would keep the girlfriend happy.
Now to be completely honest the first time she used them I could tell. Her hair looked lovely, and nope that wasnt just me saying that to keep her pleased, but it actually looked really soft and shiney. Wow.. maybe they are worth the money.
I honestly still cant say I agree with the price, but It'll change your girl for the better definately so well worth ...
