I was worrying about not being able to buy any GHDs also, mine are quite old also so they are not the dual voltage ones. We are moving to Edmonton in 2 weeks and i cant live with out them! would I be better buying a new pair here or waiting until I get over there?

But I will say I have never seen GHD's in the shops here so I wouldn't have a clue where to send you
So Maybe getting some of these new fangled Dual Voltage things that the others have mentioned would be best. (GHD's were not a 'thing' when we left the UK.'

Hey I'm no experts in the world of hair straighteners and to be honest my $34.99 ones from winners are fab - daughter loves hers to. 'Much better than your old ones Mum'

Are they not mega money? I'm bit tight when it comes to beauty products - comes from too many years struggling for money. I went into shock once when my newly moved in now husband just dropped 1000 pounds on a telly, he had to sit me down and get me a drink - I'm afraid I still have that mindset on many things.

....are you ready?...................£116.00......calm down its only money!!
Are you feeling calmer now?

chi is pretty much exactly the same as GHB's. I had chi ones when I was out here the first time and they were fab. I now have Corioliss ones, they're dual voltage and I love them.
I've found when you try to buy stuff like this here they push you towards the european ones as they say they're better quality.

GHDs are the best... CHI a close second... both pricey. On my last visit to toronto I used an adapter on an old pair of GHDs and they worked ok. This year i'm going to splash out on a voltage converter, so hopefully they'll be back to working order.

This link may be of use to people - looks like GHD's are NOT the best
But pretty close!
