lol who are you telling! I work at Sephora, therefore receive a discount, and STILL can't afford one! Luckily I just enrolled in an allergy study, so I'll use the money from that to buy it for myself for Christmas/Graduation.

And the above poster is right, in November/Decemberish we have about a week where you can get a Friends/Family 20% discount on .com orders. And such a high ticket item will ship for free. I would hold off on the eBay thing; as I just learned today, there's a damn good chance you'll get stuck with a fake, which could be dangerous to you and your hair, as they don't meet the same standards and guidelines that a real ghd styler would. Sephora is the only actually US Retailer that carries authentic ghd irons right now; you can also order them from Official ghd USA Website - ghdhair.com - dark or pure, or check their online list of retailers, but ordering from online marketplaces, eBay, amazon.com, Folica.com etc won't be recognized when you register them, because technically they shouldn't be selling them.

I ordered one from ebay and got ripped off too. It worked for maybe 5 minutes and then all of the sudden shut off and wouldn't turn back on. It was a bit odd 'cause when I went back to find the seller, her ebay account was no longer there, but luckily I had her email address, contact her, and she gave me a full refund.

...And then I took a trip to the States (I'm from Canada) just to get a GHD straightener LOL. It was the only thing I bought that day...and it was totally worth it

. I bought it from Sephora (first time in a Sephora store too lol). I've had it for a couple of months already and it works wonderfully!

I have black (untreated), medium-long, fairly thick, asian hair. I straighten layer by layer (4 layers in total) starting at the bottom and working my way up. I've been straightening my hair practically everyday since I've gotten it (so for about 3 months) and I've yet to find a split end!! I credit that to better haircare. Previously, with my old straightener, I never regularly used a conditioner or heat protector and I got split ends like crazy! You could literally see them from a distance LOL. But since getting a GHD, I started using better haircare practices and it's definitely been paying off. Right now, I wash my hair with Head&Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo, use Redken's All Soft Conditioner (leave in for a couple minutes and then wash off), and then apply Redken's Smooth Down Heat Glide to damp, towel-dried hair. This routine's been working really well for me and I'm thinking of adding in a leave-in conditioner for extra some moisturizing.

To summarize:
- I *love* my GHD

- Use a heat protector!!! Your hair will be thankful lol

i have had mine since april and i love it. i never used to straighten my hair much because my old straightener was such a pain to use, the GHD works like a charm.

I completely disagree about people saying the white and black limited edition ghds are the same as a regular mark four ghds. The plate is completely different, infact its on an ENTIRELY different level. The white and black ghds are like pulling silk through your hair. Its the gloss finish that does it. In our salon we use one of the dark ghds and if you use them one after the other you notice the difference BIG TIME!!!!

The pink ones are out at the moment. And just a little bit of warning, I don't know if it applies to the USA, but I do bits of work for GHD and our rep said that any place selling pink GHD's outside of October (unless they're unsold ones in salons) WILL BE FAKE! The only time GHD release pink GHD's in the UK is during October as its Breast Cancer Awareness month, hence why the GHD's are pink.
Also I would never buy GHD's online/on ebay. We have so many people come in saying 'mine have blown up', so I ask them where they buy them and the response is usually 'ebay'. 99.9% of them are fake on there.

I saw shots of the christmas gift sets the other day and they're BEEEEEEAUTIFUL!

I have the 2 inch GHD, it's the best thing I've ever used in my whole damn life! I have the thickest hair and it just powers through my whole head in less than 10 minutes. I'll never go back to any other brand.
