I live in London and every hairdresser I've been to uses this flat iron, it's considered the best. It gets my hair pretty straight, the only thing is, there's no dial to control the temperature, but if you're not going to use it every day, and use a heat protectant, I don't see any problems.

Yes I have a pair of GHDs. I love them! Most decent hairdressers use them over here.
I'm natural and it straightens really well and my hair is doesnt get that burnt smell like when you get that hard press with a hot comb at the hairdressers! Yet its just as straight!
Negative: my ones dont have heat control....I dont know if the mk5 does but mine was mk4 (i think) and doesnt. I never feel like it gets too hot but I know some people need to know the EXACT temp of their flat iron...I'm not fussed as long as I dont hear sizzling!
If thats $100, thats a really good price but as mentioned before there are fake GHD's that dont have the hologram and cant be registered online etc...

I heard that it does not have a temp control because it has an internal thermostat that will not allow the iron to reach above 385 degrees. I was also interested in it because it suppose to have a way to keep the same temp all the way down the hair strand, meaning it does not loose heat as it passes through your hair strands.

I have one. I am just starting to use it.
It was recommended by a noted hairdresser at a natural hair care seminar that I went to.
It straightens my hair very well and I have no complaints, my ends don't really straighten that well but I attribute that to the fact that I have never really straigtened my hair in 5 years of being natural. I think it may take time for them to be trained. I've already cut off about 4-5" of hair.

All my straightening Irons are GHD (apart from the maxi glide which i don't use)
I first purchased my GHD 7 years and never ever looked back. I have tried FHI, CHI, Sedu and all the rest and GHD wind hands down.
In my siggy my hair was straightened with the GHD 2 WEEKS PRIOR before taking that photo was taken... before that my hair was SWANGING. I have 4a type hair.
When I first joined LHCF I did and a search on the GHD and was SHOCKED that there no threads about it. Every hair/beauty forum I have been on there have been numerous threads praising the
GHD.

I really shouldn't be in this thread, I don't want to start flat ironing, but the silky straight locks sound sooo appealing!
Let me come out of this thread ya!
ETA: It comes to some thing when people are actually selling fake hair irons on Ebay, there I was thinking it was only Louis Vuitton et al that had that problem, but GHD, lol. I suppose, with Ebay if the price looks too good to be true then it probably is.
