Would you recommend them? Are they worth the $300+ something you pay for them?
My bday is coming up, so thought i could ask for Rodney Wayne vouchers to buy myself a pair.
How long does it take to straighten your hair with them? I currently have just an average pair and it takes me aaaaages.
I have medium length and while my hair is thin, there's a lot of it.
Your thoughts please

Go for it, you will not be disappointed.

I bought my first GHD's nearly 4 years ago.... they started crapping out last year (the wires started playing up) so I rung GHD and they said I could buy a brand new pair for only $150! I have SO much hair although the strands are thin, and it doesn't take that long maybe 10 mins to get it straight. I love them.

Love mine! They were amongst the first things I took when we had to leave our house after the quake! My hair would be horrible without them. My hair is quite thick so it takes about 20 mins.

I love mine and use them alot. I wouldn't/couldn't be without them now and could not would not use any other straighteners - so yes they are worth it - my last pair I had for 3 years and still would be using them but I loved the persious style so sold my old pair and brought them...
As for time - I don't spend more than 10 minutes straightening my hair - i have shoulder length hair so depends on your hair type/style and length.

Totally worth it! I tried several rip offs until I got the real thing and would never, ever go back.

I've tested one and thought they would be worth it, still don't have one due to cost... I have a normal straightener - Remmington and that takes me about 10-15 mins to straighten my fine but thick wavy/curly hair!

Another slightly cheaper option is a 'silver bullet' hair straighteners.. my hair dresser uses them and rates them about the same as GHDs... and bout $180 new so nicer on your pocket

Really? thats weird, my friend ( a hairdresser) uses them on all her clients and she has clients with all sorts of hair , all sorts of lengths and it only takes about 10 mins max...I wonder if your pair might be faulty ....

so worth it! they are not only faster to use but I believe they have a better longer lasting result too. Mine were only $280 - shop around you can get a good deal sometimes.
