It's common in my family that GHD is one of the best hair straightners we have ever used. My two sisters use it and they will never go back to any other brand - Even my brother uses it! It gives your hair the sleekest smoothest hair that you could want. It heats up in a flash which is great for early morning rushes with your hair.
Many people say that they could use a heat setting but the GHD with its ceramic plates adjusts itself to give you the correct heat needed to not totally fry your hair. So you can sleep well with your hair knowing its being given the right amount of heat needed.
The curls given with a GHD are nice and hold pretty well. But I must admit they do not give the same curls as a curling iron but it really depends on the type of curls you like to how much you like the curls given by the GHD. The rounded barrels definatley give it a better effect than other straighteners that promise to give curls. If you use it correctly you can get waves and give your hair a crimped look which goes down well with me when I miss a bit in my plates.
The only problem with this product is definitely the price. On the official GHD website it costs £100 but you do get a guarantee which i can confirm they do respect as I have now got my second GHD under a new guarantee. My sisters GHD has been working for years now without any problems.
