Hi! My GHD just stopped working yesterday. I need to get another straightener quickly. I know the GHD is sometimes available here but I also know there are lots of other brands on the market and I'm thinking of trying another brand. Can anyone recommend one that has plates similar to the GHD and works as well? TIA

I bought Corioliss c2 hair iron and it has Ultra smooth Titanium plates, Adjustable Temperature for All Hair Types, its really awesome hair iron. GHD also good but I used it only one time from my friend but I bought Corioliss hair iron for myself and its really nice. If you want to buy as well then you can buy from here [url=http://www.alonwancosmetics.com/Hair-Iron'>Corioliss Hair Iron[/url'>

I just bought a good old Braun Satin Hair 7 Colour Straightener. It has ceramic plates and one of them has a spring which moves with your hair as your straighten or curl it - no gaps and no hotspots. I have really frizzy hair ESPECIALLY with the heat, and I was really amazed at how soft my hair was, and how long it lasted!! Never tried Cloudnine or GHD so can't compare - but was very happy with my purchase.

I second Cloud Nines. I tried GHD and cloud nine and definitely think cloud nine are superior. They sell them at the Arabian Ranches pharmacy (supercare), seen them at pastels...you can order them online and they will deliver in the UAE for free. I don't use mine now coz I had the kerastraight done so don't really need them these days :)

GHD's r the BEST!! They do the best straightening/light curls in one sweep without snagging or burning the hair, in a humid climate and GHD always gives the best results (No Frizz!!)

They have GHD products at Vibe Salon, Believe they're doing a promo in the mall tomorrow. Was probably told which mall but in one ear out the other! Could give them a call and ask :)

I bought one in the UK over Christmas from Toni and Guy with claims that it is better than a GHD....It's called Amika. Suppose to be 100% ceramic plates where the GHD and CHI are just plated. I have never had a GHD but I do have the wife CHI. I find the new one does a decent job but I can't really say that it does a better job than my CHI...It might be better for my hair because of the 100% ceramic though. Not sure if they are available here but you can order them online.
