    Ah, ok, so what makes them stand out from all the others?

    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...

    I have a Whal wich is made in the same factory with the same materials as the GHD but just doesnt have the name(appreantely???)! Its fantastic! It heats up quick and i have had it for over 3 years and its still fab! I think they are about $100? but i did buy it over 3 years ago! Good luck! x

    I do understand not wanting to spend the $$ on a GHD, but they are worth every cent. I've had 2 remingtons (one basic and one wet-to-dry which allows you to straighten wet hair) and both of them died. The GHD is as good as the day I bought it... Check out ry dot com dot au, they are sometimes a little cheaper

    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!
