the other day as i was walking through flamouth, i noticed an advert in a bus stop. it was for ghd (hair straightener) repairs... i thought it was quite strange as the advert was not for hair straighteners repair in general but for ghd repairs.. automatically i thought ghd must be  an unreliable brand- if places are advertising for repairing one particular branded thing then surely it is because the breaking happens quite alot... and simply the fact that it specified ghd is a little weird. why not babyliss or braun aswell? are they not all made the same way? aparantly, according to everyone on the internet who has commented on ghd straighteners, 'there are none better', 'they are the best' aswell as 'mine no longer turn on or heat up' and 'sparks are flying everywhere'. so, pretty much the people who have had no problems with it say it's great and the people whose ghds have broken say its a pile of crap.
you would think that a beauty appliance costing between £99 ans £119 (ghd.com) would last, especially as it seems fairly important in the  everyday beauty rituals of the modern chick. Not only that but the repairs (at that particular place in falmouth) cost £28! more than a quarter of the price of the straigteners. and what i dont understand the most is a) why buy expensive straighteners in the first place and b) why bother gettin them repaired when you can buy straightners from just a tenner.. anyway, i'm not really bothered. i'v already got some that i doubt are going to break anytime soon.. mum bought me some babyliss straighteners and they're those multi functional good ones where you can change the end bits to curl your hair or crimp it etc and once i burnt my face on it so i dont like them..and it takes too long anyway..  and they're bad for your hair.
