Out off all the hair straighteners that I have tried and tested over the past 7 years, GHD gives me the most amazing results which are guaranteed with any of their straighteners. It by far surpasses every other straighter on the market with regards to visual appearance, technology, packaging and even after market service! The New GHD Lagoon from the Limited Edition Bird Of Paradise Collection is absolutely beautiful and definitely eye catching, and the accompanying heat protecting mat is a definite bonus! I usually go for the typical black styler, But this really evokes the exotic side of me and definitely gets my creative juices flowing in terms of styles to be created - I'm thinking sexy and sultry!! GHD is built to last, so any price placed on a GHD is worth the money, as the styler and the brand always delivers on their promises!!!
