I have my GHD for 7 years now and its an old faithful. I love my GHD but its getting old and the plates are getting worn out. I really feel sad as I am not able to afford one right now. It works but not 100%. My hair is thick and course and it takes me 45 minutes to straighten it. The new GHD V Lagoon styler will be the perfect gift for my birthday and I am begging my husband to buy me a new GHD. I could definitely do with a new GHD to make my ruffled feathers look gorgeous again.
