Found this again clearing my cupboards! This was before i ummed and aaaahed about a ghd! My hair went snap crackle pop with its wet to dry concept! My hair is thick, highlighted straight and very voluminous! Yes it straightens but not to silky smoothness! Not like a ghd! And with what i now know about hair i would never apply an iron to wet hair! Works reasonably well on dry hair! Haven't used it since ghd entered my life!
