I am quite the traveller into African countries where my hair goes haywire if it gets into humid areas, lets put it this way, if they had to steal my luggage and my GHD was in there, it would be the first thing on my list to buy, even before my toothbrush. Its a career girls essential NEED item for all those meetings where you have to look fabulous.I cant live without it, and i sometimes also use it to iron out creases in my work shirts..but shh dont tell anyone that :-)
