ukstudent Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Are GHDs really the best? Has anyone bought some from http://www.ghduk2010sale.com cos they have the news ones on offer for £59 instead of over £100 - sounds a bit too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshaz Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I just looked on GHD website they have a list of genuine GHD online retailers and that website is not one of them, why dont you ring GHD and confirm. I fell foul of phoney GHD staighteners in past when I tried to register them with GHD they told me they were counterfeit and I should only buy from reputable retailers all of which are listed on their website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libuse Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I've just had a look at that website and if you did actually get any straighteners sent by them, I'd put money on them being fake. The only contact info in it that I can find is a gmail email address and a lot of the text is poorly written gobbledigook. Unfortunately GHDs just are really expensive (and not very reliable either!). They are very very good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukstudent Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks. I may do that. Did you end up getting some real ones in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libuse Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Thanks for that. How long do they last for generally? I think I'm on my 4th pair, and thats in about 10 years. I know you can send them back for repair when they are faulty although I've never done this. For what its worth (and this is really anecdotal) but someone in a pub once told me (see, I said it was anecdotal) that the best cheap alternative are by Morphy Richards, this person worked there and reckoned that MR made their straighteners by taking apart a pair of ghd's and copying the technology. But, like I said, random person in a pub so take with a pinch of salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard the She straightners are made in the same factory as GHDs but on the other and I've read some bad reviews about them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
