    Help Missus wants GHD's what do I buy ?

    The missus has asked for some GHD straighteners, I've had a quick google and turned up a few different ones. There's the mini, wide plates and the plain mark 4. I don't really know which to get.

    Am I safe in buying this ?

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/ghd-Mark-Sty...1465178&sr=8-1

    and is that a decent price ?

    many thanks,

    malty

    My misses wanted these a few years back. As a knew a few hairdressers, I was told that they are good, but said that FH1's wer better. So got her them. I only know about the thin and wide. Wide for thick and long hair, thin for shorter hair, like bobbed hair.

    Thanks, had better stick with GHD's as that's what she's hinted at. She's got fairly thick hair but in a shoulder length bob. Still no wiser lol

    You're probably best buying from the official ghd site and getting these ones

    Just asked the women in work, they said thin as they will be able to get closer to the roots of your hair and to do your fringe. Long ones are harder to do a fringe with. Plus they tend to burn the hair if you are trying to do short lengths.

    You used to get free stuff when you brought one from the official site (heat mat, spray etc) but it doesn't look they're doing that now so Amazon should be fine.

    Amazon are an approved retailer on the GHD site so I think that'll do. Cheers for the input guys.

    I'm in the same boat, she wanted GHD's and I have no idea what to get - looks like I'm after the same as you.

    I did notice a pack though that included a hairdryer in a fancy set sort of thing - though I'm not sure if it's worth the extra?

    Have you seen all the removed results you get if you do a google search for GHD? What's that all about?

    My wife has the medium ones m8 and she has shoulder length hair.

    They are great and she swears by them, got em from amazon too. (dont understand why u wouldnt order from them, they are hardly going to sell copies)

    the thin ones are for very short hair

    If a bird asks for GHDs don't get anything else. They're the iPhone of hair strighteners.

    No, they're not; GHD's actually perform as well as advertised
