No, there is a magical force field in Oz that stops them from working.

I'd imagine so? With a plug adapter obviously.

In some countries GHD's dont work for some reason - mine refused to work in Cuba.

Thanks. Can never understand why you'd want to straighten hair if it is naturally curly.

Got to say I would of reconsisdered the whole move if the GHD,s did not work in OZ I came for a reckkie to try them out, and with an adapter there are no problems. My GHD,s are over 2 years old now also. I just dont know how I would of managed without them

The problem is so many of us have hair that hovers somewhere between straight and curly. Think sheep in a thunderstorm.

They refused to work in Cuba because Cuba is on 110V and not 220 like here or UK.

They probably did, they just got half as hot as normal!! Only 110V in Cuba. Women, know your limits....
