OMG, couldn't live without mine!! I use them 5-6 days a week! I've had them for about 6 or 7 years and they're still going strong! I did recently upgrade to the Cloud 9 straighteners though as my hair dresser convinced me I needed the 'new technology', lol. Cloud 9 are also $300 and made by the original designers of GHDs, they just have some new technology to make them even better than GHDs. They are amazing! Google them for more info.

So, if you were to buy new, I'd get Cloud 9 if you can find them in your area as they're only selling them at selected salons at this stage. If you want some GHDs, I'd be happy to sell my old ones to you cheap as they're just sitting there doing nothing and there is nothing wrong with them! Let me know if you're keen
Oooh!! I sooo badly need a new straightener!! I'm keen! I'll PM you
