The GHD’s definitely do what they claim, the volume and curls they create are great. You can get salon hair at home and it’s great to experiment with different styling techniques as the wand is easy to use with it’s cool tip and rotating wire. I initially thought it was a little too pricey and was going to send back, but quickly changed my mind after using for a second time, it’s a quality product, would definitely recommend. I have GHD straightener’s but prefer the GHD rise hot brush.
