Straight or Curly?

I was struggling with my hairstyle for a while. My hair is pretty curly and I don’t like the natural waves all that much. I always tried to straighten it out with a brush and the blow dryer but the result was not fantastic so I started thinking about real straight hair. To get my hair super smooth, I knew some heat styling was in order. At first I was a bit scared of the damage the heat could do to my hair but with the right hair care preparation and the right type of flat-iron, I don’t have to fry my hair for it to look fabulous.

My neighbor and friend recommended the 1 inch Classic GHD flat-iron. She has been using this iron every other day for over 2 years now and her hair looks really great all the time.The beauty is that you can use this flat-iron also in Europe without an adaptor because it has universal voltage. So lately I started taking my styler with me while travelling overseas. One bummer though: It is expensive ($185 at Sephora).

Most important upside: The result is amazing. The styler heats up quickly, makes my hair very smooth in no time and my hair is very soft and shiny after usage. The GHD flat-iron is much stronger than the “Go” styling iron I had from FHI. If you have a “Go”, and it works for you, great. If you are in the market for a flat-iron, I recommend the GHD over the “Go”.
