GHD flat iron

Does anyone have this or reviews/comments on it?

 I have little longer than shoulder length thick, coarse hair and use a Chi.  I recently tried out my sisters GHD while visiting her and really like it. 

I have a folica $50 credit that expires at the end of April and am considering upgrading to the GHD.  Do you think it's worth it? 

I can't decide if the GHD was better than the Chi or if it's just because I was using a crappy Conair travel flat iron the days prior to trying the GHD. I just wish I could dup on on promo's at Folica, but I guess they're smarter than that!

I've had my GHD for about 4 years and love it! So much better than my Chi, which I also still have, and use as a back up for travel and stuff. The GHD distributes heat more evenly throughout the plates, where as most other irons just have a strip of heat going down the middle of the plate, which makes it not so even, and more damaging to your hair. GHD's also make awesome curls and waves! No question, I'd go for the GHD!

I had it and didn't like it, so I returned it.  I've had my Sedu for over 2 years and love it.

I have one but my hair is super straight anyway, I use it mostly for smoothing and curling.  I do like it though.  My hair stylist uses the same one and highly recommended it to me, I figured he knew what he was talking about.

I have that one and I love it. I can't compare it to anything else, since it's my first flat iron. But it works for me.

I bought a GHD 3 years ago, after my stylist recommended it, she used hers everyday! I had a ceramic Rusk that was very comparable to a Chi, when I changed to GHD, it was a huge upgrade, I don't have Sedu and have never tried it, so I can't comment on the comparison between the two.

I have thick coarse hair and GHD works very good.

Another added bonus of GHD is if you travel outside of US, you don't need to worry about lugging a voltage inverter, GHD works with both 110 and 220 v.

Chi is the same; but after hearing of two people who fried theirs in the past year in Europe, I opted to borrow my SIL's cheapy travel one!  I didn't want to risk ruining my "best" flat iron!

I  have used mine a lot overseas with no problem. That said I would have been very upset if something would have happened to it!!!

Thanks for all of the input.  I'm going to a new hairdresser this wknd (who has some rave reviews, I'm excited!) I'll get her input on if I'm better off with GHD or using the credit towards a new blow dryer instead
