I too have the remington wet to dry and have on occasion used it on damp hair but for the majority of the time i use it on dry hair. Then again i only do my hair if we are going out somewhere nice (with 2 kids i dont have time to spend half hour doing my hair ) and i usually know well in advance so i will wash my hair the night b4 or morning so it's 100% dry. I find my hair goes super frizzy if i blow dry it though. I too am hanging for a GHD they are fab. I do love my straightner even though it doesnt get used as much as i'd like its the only way i can go out and feel nice is if my hair is tame
