“Never owned any other straighteners! Only the best! On my 2nd set…. first ones gave up after years of excessive use. I’ve had these ones for 3 years. Accidently melted the cord when I left them on top of my ceramic hob cooker and then turned it  on. I was distraught… I’m a single parent and couldn’t afford new ones. Gave them to my dad and asked him to ’save their life’. After their surgery they are back, taped up but not as healthy as they were. I’d love new ones and promise to take good care of them! ”
Ms Jo Batchelor, Essex

“I don’t deserve them, but my girlfriend does, She puts up with me always being skint and this would just be a nice way to thank her.”
Carl Barton, Wigan

“I feel I deserve the chance to win a new straighteners as I’m in my last semester of a 4-year University course and I’ve been having a really tough time with my coursework deadline. Also, I have been using a pair of half-broken GHDs for about 4years now as the same week I purchased them they were stood on by a family member so a new pair would really make all the difference to me and allow me to go into university holding my head high, knowing that it would always be a ‘good hair day’ from now on.”
Lucy Binnie, Dundee

“Why do I need a set of ghds? You may well ask….Because I have a 14 year old with the curliest hair in the world, who hates it! And I’m fed up having to spend nearly an hour straightening it with the crummy straighteners that I’ve got! So if you want to make a mum and daughter very happy then we’re the ones for you!”
Jeanette Davies, Liverpool

“I don’t want these ghd’s I need them, as I am in dire need of a good hair day, at a family party last week a 4 year old turned to her mummy and said ‘ mummy why does that lady have funny hair? Will mine be like that when I grow up if I am a naughty girl? Told you it was bad… at the moment I have trusty comb and hairdryer but I would love these GHD’s!”
Cara Bowden, St Albans

“FYI, I ND TLC PLZ BCSE WYSIWYG & EVRY1 LOL @ ME & A GHD NDZ 2 B ASAP.  TTFN”
Jacqui Osborne, Northampton

“I’m no  sleek-haired blond, nor  tousled red,
I’ve no stunning style to turn a man’s head!
Sadly, I’m not equipped to be inventive
Need  that special something as my incentive
Some expert grooming is the key
A little action with some GHD’s
Into the background I’d no longer fade
I’d leave my hot haired  rivals in the shade!”
Francesca Burke, Liverpool

“The reason I need those straighteners is that I was on a work night out and it started of really nicely  then as the night progressed I met this boy and we hit it off. Now that boy lived about 45 miles away and he was only through for the night and he had to get the train home and I was staying at my brother in laws complicated Eh!!  well I was going to go home with my friend and we were both pretty drunk , so my brother in law took us to the train station and placed us both 20 feet from the train with 15 minutes before departure, but then lust took over and we were so engrossed that we missed the last train. I had keys to brother in laws shop and went there with my friend to spend the night, but in the romantic clinches I lost the keys  and we had to wonder about all-night cuddling to keep warm and we both finally got the first bus home in the morning at 10.30. so my hair is a complete mess and need the best products on the market to keep it looking good hence why I am a regular with girlznight”
Elspeth (hot lips) Spouse, Hawick

“The state of my follicles, is quite diabolical. I looked in the mirror saw disarray, need healthy hair the Girlz Night way. I want tresses that impress and redress years of styling excess.  I`m like Rapunzel but I`ve got no style and no flair,  GHD will never let down my hair.  A hair win from this competition action, would ensure I become the “mane” attraction.”
Julie Kenny, Liverpool

“i would love to own a pair of ghd,s because my sister is getting married in august and i am in charge of all of the bridesmaids hair, everyone has long hair and they are wearing it down straight , please help me by sending me a pair and i will send you a picture of the finished result, thankyou. ELLA”
Ella Ward, Manchester

“I really need you to help me, (or should I say help my girlfriend!) last Saturday she tried a new hair style which involved using  hairspray. Lots of it!! She then stupidly decided to make bacon sarnies for breakfast. She put the bacon on the grill pan, and as our cooker is on the blink we have to use a match to ignite the flame. You can guess what happened next!!!!”
Robert Powell, Essex
