    lulu2 - its seems that the GHD is the best. I have used one and they are fab (adkins they are a brand of hair straightners).

    however i also dont have the $$ to spend on that.

    i just bought a vidal sasson wet to dry. it is nice and streamline and small. and i think it is fantastic!

    they were on special at harvey norman here in brisbane for $19 down from $80.

    so very cheap and i think it would def do the trick for your daughter

    GHD is a brand - I think it stands for: "Great Hair Day"...

    The GHD is completely worth it!!

    I colour my hair (not a natural blonde unfortunately) and my hair always looks, feels and IS shiny and healthy even though I straighten it at least three times a week. It never gets that dry/straw-like look because the GHD doesn't burn it. I have had mine for three years and it will easily go another five. I don't know what they do that is so different from the rest - but whatever it is it WORKS. They are the best. I will never buy another brand.

    The initial $300 up front seems like a lot but it's nothing when you have to replace a cheaper one every 1-2 years.

    I love my GHD too. Got it about a year ago and it has changed my life! I have incredibly thick, curly hair and the GHD is the only straightener I've ever used that actually gets it straight and doesn't leave it frizzy. I've bought others over the years but they just end up getting thrown out.

    Do a search on line to see if you can find a cheap one. A friend of mine found a brand new one on ebay for around $200 the other week...

    Ghd's are the best especially if your daughter has strong hair. Look on Ebay you might find them cheaper just be careful tho that your buying the right ones. cosmopolitan brand is good or babyliss as well

    OOoooooooh be careful of ebay! I was caught and bought a doozy (please see my below post) - just be aware if buying from ebay, not saying they are all shonky but one of my GHD's were. I must agree with many in here, should only have to use a GHD once a day if that. They are excellent.

    lol i have no idea.
    but i know when you use one your hair feels like you just stepped out of a hairdresser, and it stays straight for days! lol

    but like i said the VS one i bought is great. i can do my whole head in 10 minutes!
