    Default My GHD Styler is AWESOME!!!

    Ok, this is the best flat iron EVER. Seriously. It is called a "styler" b/c it is designed to straighten, curl, wave, and add volume. It is $240 in Sephora, but I got mine on ebay for around $120. I decided to get it after hearing so many rave reviews on The Purse Forum. It just came today and I had played with it for the first time. I did the volume style from the dvd (yes it comes with a dvd for those of us who can be style retarded. And I am so style retarded when it comes to flat irons). My hair looks fabulous!! So much volume with a slight wave/curl towards the ends. A variation on VS hair with lotsa volume, no teasing required!!

    It's certainly not as easy to use as the model in the dvd makes it look, but I can tell with some practice, I am going to rock this styler. The curls look the hardest, but straightening and the volume style are super easy.

    Go buy this now ladies!! It is a Good Hair Day!!

    I second LatinaRose.
    Best. Purchase. Ever.

    I love my GHD. I've had it for just over a year now and it is sooo good and so fast.

    I've been meaning to buy one of these forever. I hate my flat-iron, it's a Solia, and it takes me forever to straighten. And once I've straightened my hair looks flat and lank, not full and fabulous. I've pretty curly hair so it's a seriously intense task.

    I may just have to break down and invest in it, if it's really that good. I suck at hair styling.

    Yeah I don't think there are many girls left in Australia without one either.

    I'm onto my second. My first one finally died last month after three years of much devoted service.

    Mine is a one inch. I think it's easier to use because it's smaller and lighter, easier to manipulate.



    (Why does that sound like I'm not talking about a GHD.....?)

    Yes please pics. What was your previous flat iron? What was your reason for getting a new one? I've heard nothing but great things about the GHD. Any negs were about price. Kudos for shopping well and getting a good price.

    I'll take pics next time I style my hair, either tomorrow or the next day.

    TM, my previous flat iron was tourmaline Hot Tools. It did the job, but my hair was far from fabulous. I upgraded b/c I wanted my hair to look like the girls who posted pics on the purse forum. I also read that it keeps your hair healthier than other flat irons and that's very important to me.

    Oh yeah! You can watch the vids on youtube for instruction on how to achieve the different styles for those who didn't get the dvd. I also suggest watching it if you're unsure of getting it, you will be totally sold afterwards!!

    sounds like a good investment. Can you get one at the sephora store if I dont want to order online?

    Oh wow Emily, there's a TON of vids for styling. I didn't even find those.

    IDK how it works with the T3, I guess you just need to try it. I do know the GHD was created with a rounded barrel to optimize it for curls and waves.

    Yes, you can just buy it any Sephora store and the good thing about buying at Sephora - if anything EVER goes wrong with it, you can bring it in for a replacement easy peasy.

    I'm going to try it. I own this one, which claims to curl (and I have a CHI, so I really don't want to buy another flat iron)

    I'm a novice at flat ironing. Can anyone tell me what temperature to set it at? How do you decide? My hair is fine-medium and straight. Do hotter temperatures damage the hair so use the least amt of heat as possible?

    I had a Solia, which worked great and my stylist told me to use it at 320 because my hair was so fine and very fragile due to so much processing. (it went all the way up to 450)

    I'm curious if this GHD is just a simple hair straightner, but sold for way too much money. Check out this site:
    http://www.folica.com/appliances/straightener.htm

    It has like thousands of reviews on different straightners and what not. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do what the GHD does with other ceramic irons.
