It would seem that GHD are the leaders - but I've heard some bad stories lately. What has your experience of GHD been like? Has anyone used any of the other brands? Which product would you recommend?

i swear by my ghd... we have 2 in our house my mum has one and i have a pink one for when i travel... we brought ours years ago, the pink one i have was actually bought when it was a special edition for the breast cancer foundation... i can fault them they have lasted and are great!

I couldn't live without my GHD.

I have just moved out of home and my GHD was really my mums and im dying with out it.

I've got the easy-curl GHD. I use it for curling rather than straightening.. I like it :)

I use just a standard GHD straightener for curling... it works so much better than anything else i've ever tried to curl with! I haven't tried the 'easy curl' Jaci mentioned but I'd like to! I haven't tried any other brands, but GHD has definitely served me well.

i have a GHD and i love it but yes, I have had a bad experience (as have some of my friends) of it suddenly just dying one day (1 year warranty- died 3 weeks after that!) and it pissed me off because ihad to dish out another $300 for it. I have used other brands but nothing has really got my hair done as well and my hair doesnt remain straight for as long *shrug*

Looks like they have a 2 year warranty now, ruru.

A friend of mine has been through 4 in two years. I have also heard stories of them catching fire. Hmmm...

i dont think its manufactured all that strongly. my sister actually stepped on it by accident and it broke. true story! don't ask y it was on the bedroom floor! i grounded her from my stuff for a month!! & i haven't bothered with another straightener. been straghtenerless for about over a year! i do like the soft curls that is achievable with the ghd actually. but i think hair straighteners are over rated. i think a range of brushes and a good hair dryer is so much better. & its important to work with your natural hair too.

silver bullet is ghds magor competitor i think, but ghd has been best out for a while now
