these might be old news, but i spotted as i walked past the hairdresser yesterday.............

GHD have some new irons out which you can use for straightening and also made for doing curls (when you wind the hair round the barrel and pull) ... they are a differnt shape to the original ones.

has anyone got these - are they any different /easier than the old ones?

i have the wider ones at the moment, which are quite good but might invest in these ones too.....

btw anyone else had theirs blow up? this was on watchdog - if you have old ones be careful - very dangerous never ever leave them plugged into the wall when you are not using them they can catch fire apparently. the cord degrades from the inside and they short out.
 
I have seen the new ones but not tried them, tbh I don't really use my GHDs that much anymore, I like the idea of curling and straightening options tho.

How old is 'old' for blowing up GHDs - I've had mine ages and they're always plugged in even if I don't use them for weeks :? :? :?

i got mine in 2002 and they blow up about 18 months/2 yrs ago. look on the past where the cord joins the irons - if the cord swivels round and round you are ok. if its a fixed cord with a bendy bit then these are the ones which can short out. i think you can get them repalced free by GHD (well you could a year or so ago they prob will still replace them) as they are dangerous.

Cheers for the advice, I will have a look at my swivelly bit 8O
 
I love my GHDS :)
My friend has the pink ones - so jealous.

I wouldnt mind a pair that curled though as whenever I try to curl my hair it ends up more like an afro - and not in a good way!
 
have you tried using strighteners to curl it . i know this sounds like a contradiction, but

1. first you strighten your hair totally
2. take section of hair in the irons and twist your wrist forwards away from your head
3. pull downwards and outwards

easy, loose barrel curls.

for more curl you can twist the irons as you go downwards

the important thing is the strighten your hair first! otherwise you may get afrohead!

My hairdresser often does that to give me curls - I don't know if I'd be able to manage to do it myself tho :? Or else I'd end up with curls at the sides and a straight back :roll:
 
Yeah see its hard to get it right because my sister has proper curlers but for them to work you have to leave your hair totallly not straightened so when my hair is dried it doesnt go straight, its naturally wavy so thats why it ends up afroey but then maybe if I try the GHD way it might work.............
 
Morning girlies! My gym has just put GHDs in the changing rooms - they're so much better than the ones I've got at home. I may start going every day, just to give my hair a quick going over. :lol:

I went in the other morning to wash my hair because I'd run out of conditioner. You've got to get your money's worth! :lol:

I did actually go for a swim while I was there. And yesterday I did a spin class before I straightened my hair. Honest. :lol:
