I was first introduced to GHD hair straighteners in 2002 when I opened a hairdressing salon, I had always owed straighteners but never really used them all that much until the hair straightening boom in early 2000.

GHD had never even crossed my mind, until I got a GHD rep walking through the salon door showing me samples and the straighteners themselves, I was instantly taken aback but their sheer heat and overall performance of these fantastically slim and compact tools.

Ever since I have stocked and sold the straighteners in the salon, these consisted of every version ever made including the standard black and the limited edition irons. Over the years these have changed in shape and the features are always updated to keep customers happy.

With the help of celebrities and professional hairdressing salons, GHD have gone on to be a huge success across the globe, therefore expanding the company in producing products, limited edition straightening irons and styling brushes.

GHD have also been known to support breast cancer awareness organizations over the past three years, they have designed and sold limited edition pink straighteners to help raise money and awareness for the cancer charity. For every pink pair sold a donation is made to the charity, last year over 30.000 pounds was raised by the sale of the pink irons alone.

The GHD brand has become the most wanted hair straightener on the current market, although they are very expensive these still fly off the shelves at this time of year as every girl wants them.

My new hair straighteners are the 2008 limited edition white gloss IV irons, they are pure white in colour and have all of the features that any other styler has. They also do these in a black high gloss finish and are sold and advertised as dark and pure limited editions.
