    I have used GHD a few times and they're definitely worth it for the money, I'd suggest that :D

    GHD sounds the best. Its built well :)
     
  9. GHD's are good, but I think that Remington's are fine for everyday use.

    The ghds are about £100 plus i think. Depends if you are a newbie to them, you may want to start off with some bought for about £30 just so you can get used to them and see if you like them. Dont forget you need some type of thermal product from the chemsit or shop to stop the heat making your hair all dry :)

    i dont have a hair dryer or straightener, i let mine dry naturally and yeh it is kinda fly away :p

    Not sure i could cope with the noise of a hair dryer, loud noises get on my nerves :D

    PS

    Also if the ghds brake, you can take them to ghd and they fix them for free i think :)

    I say go for GHD.

    I made the mistake of getting some crappy cheap ones for around £30 or so. My hair got caught on it easily and would sometimes snap, wasn't really hot and had to go over parts which is bad for your hair. I used hair protector which ended up sticking to the hair straighteners and I had to scrape it off. They broke as well.

    GO FOR GHD!!! I've had no problems and I've had it for more than 3 years now. Hardly needs cleaning, doesn't break your hair and you can use it to curl your hair.

    I don't think you can go wrong with how to straighten your hair. Sounds like the hair straightener you had wasn't that good. Could be because it doesn't get hot enough.

    I have massive trouble buying straighteners beacuse my natural hair is like a loose afro lol. Used to use Remington all the time because they were the only ones that worked on my hair (never tried GHD's though) but the last couple of Remington ones I bought were crap for my hair :p Anyway, my mum grabbed these offline (maybe not this site) and they work an absolute dream for me. Great especially for the price if you cant afford getting GHD's

    Unfortunately no heat control though, only one temperature.
