well the fact that i cant go a day without straightening my hair there is also the part where GHD out does it all. Normal hair straightner's just DON'T DO IT. they don't make your hair anywhere close to as straight as a GHD does, they dont give your hair that glossy shine like you have just been to the hairdresser, and they just mess up your hair! a GHD is the best thing invented for people with CRAZY, CURLY hair and they super cute looking ontop of all these amazing things about it :P
