I lost my other thread I know there were a lot of you who loved the GHD but there were some recommendations for other straighteners & I can't remember what they were!

So, any recommendations for a good hair straightener?

To recap - Panda & I had one that we 'shared' (ie, lived in her room) - it died so we are looking at another.

I had a friend who said she could get hold of a GHD for about $150 I think, but that was 4 or 5 weeks ago & I haven't heard back from her yet.

There's a chemist near me that has a Vidal Sassoon for $35, but they also have VS straighteners for $80 & $150...

Help! I don't know what to get. Is it definitely worth paying more? Am I just throwing money away going for something cheap?

TIA
