i look like the medusa in a morning ( ghd help)
Just because It’s flippin’ freezin’ February. There’s been a lapse in the diet. I’ve reached a new level of alcohol consumption and I harbor an addiction to the stock in Zara. Yet with those beauties of GHD’s, it might all change. Maybe then I can stagger back from the pub, carting my muffin top and hefty bank statements, but damn my hair would look great.
I had an operation to remove a large tumour from my pelvis. I arrested 3 times, lost 34 pints of blood and had no blood pressure for nearly 5 minutes. I ended up losing half my pelvis and the sciatic nerve was severed. I also had to spend 5 months in hospital. During that time, I spent 3 months unable to move and my hair suffered. I spent the rest of the time trying to mobalise. Oh and to top it all, I still have an open wound trying to heal. At least with the GHDs one part of me would be perferct.

i need straightners because my straightners have broken and are just out of the warranty to get repaired and my hair is big and puffy, which is bad because im having a house party saturday.
The ghds would help me look good in the morning in a fraction of the time it normally takes me. My current straightners are absoluty rubbish and hardly control, let alone straighten my frizzy mane!!
Plus i would give it to my mum as a Mothers day present. But, i would secretly use it aswell!

I would like to give the ghd’s to my mother for mothers day because i have a pair and she loves them and thinks there great so i would like to give her, her own pair.

I deserve to win some ghd straightners because mine are rubbish they keep turning off and today I had to borrow my 13 year old son’s (after he went to school shhh don’t tell him!) how sad is that when your kids ones are better than yours !
I deserve to win because Ive had a difficult few years and Im only just starting to find time to pamper myself again.. Four years ago I had HELLP syndrome when I gave birth to my son-I was very ill and in hospital a long time. Then 18mths ago my daughter was born 9wks early and i was very ill again-we were both in hospital for weeks. Then last April I had to have a hysterectomy due to complications from both births-it was very hard to go through such an operation when im only 34yrs. I feel like ive spent most of the last few years in hospital and i really really need some pampering!
I am nisa from Bradford. Well, the reason why i deserve to win the Ghd straightener because recently i had my gcse mock exams, the during time was very stressing and i really need something which could cheer me up or change my mind. Exceptionally i love the GHD straighteners because all my mates always go on about it and even have one but i havnet being able to get time to go and do some shopping for myself. I do have a straightner which someone gave me five years ago IMAGINE FIVE YEARS AGO.
Time has changed so has fashion so i really need to be updates with the latest stufff. And i really want one of the funkiest Ghd straighteners.Please.

It’s too late to win but thought I’d put up my story!!
Oh Girlznight, won’t you let it be?
I need those straightners, T3, not GHD!
Only because I need to make him see….
What he’s missing out on, that gorgeous boy Lee!
I gave him the key to my heart, one might say…
On no other day but Valentines day…..
But he left me dangling: now he must pay…
Oops, I never knew he was GAY!!!
I Have Been Dumped By The Man Of My Dreams

i think i should win these fantastic GHD hair straightners because i suffer with frizzy hair and i go to the hairdressers at least 3 times a month to get treatment to help die down the frizz.when i got to the salon the hairdresser uses GHDS on my hair and they give my hair so much shine and moisture and they keep my hair straight for up to 3 days i think they are a brilliant brand
mine have broken:( + i look horrible.
im skint, my mum is skint. so we can’t afford new ones.
please please please?

I think it’s only right I should get them as I have hated straighteners ever since I first had my hair straightened at a hair saloon a few years ago, my hair is quite curly and I thought why not, I got home and hated what I saw in the mirror. Then I lost quite a bit of weight and a friend persuaded me to let her straighten it for me…I was amazed, it looked so cool hehe..I was like a different person. So I think I should have them as I flipped 100% on my view of straighteners and are now looking to get some.

You said you would announce the winner on Feb 22nd! Been keeping an eye on this site. You never announced it, seems like a dodgy comp to me!
