Default Why She Insists On Ghds?

Anyone else have a missus who insists that these hair straighteners are the best?

Cant see the difference between the spec of a 20 pair of ceramic 1000watters and these ghds that cost me a 100 quid a throw?

they must think were mad

WTF are hair straighteners?

I have a No 5 all over...............dries quickly, helmet friendly, and gives me more money to spend on the bike

Mrs Messy works in a hairdressing wholesalers. She says GHD's are overpriced and they get a lot of complaints about them! Really cheap ones are not very good they are only ceramic coated and do not get as hot as the better ones. CHI's or FHI's are good at around £60 to £80.

I wonder if she's posting away on some girly hair fashion forum saying the same about end cans?

Apparently those ghds have a habit of breaking after a year... I don't use straighteners, bad for the hair anyway and far too much bother. And doesn't matter if am here in Wales or back home, either way the rain soon gets rid of the straightness!

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GHD`s are the holy grail of hair straighteners, they are to hair what my akrapovic is to my SV. I`ve tried all types of hair straighteners but as far as i`m concerned i wasted my money. I got mine on Ebay for the bargain price of £60. I wouldn`t be without them... touch them and i`ll hurt you!!!

I`m still trying to figure out how to carry a generator in my panniers to the AR08 in order to plug my straighteners in

I don't have GHD but I do have some that are within the same price region. Absolutely swear by them, the 20 quid ones are shi te. I've had mine for over two years and definitely got my moneys worth.
