So even though I have a pretty good straightener (Paul Mitchell smoothing iron)...i went ahead and went to sephora to try the GHD...they didn't have a tester so i ended up buying it, came home, washed my hair, dried it...and tried the GHD...here is my review:
I was surprised at how fast it heated up first of all...i have VERY FRIZZY curly hair but it is mostly FRIZZY..anyway, i sectioned my hair how i usually do and went ahead and straighted my hair as usual with the GHD...I had to go over the pieces a few times to get it as straight as i want but overall, it cut my straightening time a little less than half which is a plus. my hair also feels much lighter than when i straighten my hair with my paul mitchell. I also get A LOT of kinks with the Paul mitchell after about an hour so I have yet to see whether the GHD will give me kinks after ironing my hair.. I am not too impressed with how "flat" my hair is because i did go through my hair quickly and i know that i can get it Flatter if i were to go over the pieces a few more times that what i did but the thing that impressed me the most is how smooth the plates are when running through my hair and how fast it took me to straighten it... i will update you all and let you knmow if i will get any "kinks" and if i will have to go over a few pieces..
overall though, i think it's a great straightener =)
