Vikki27 answered Wednesday November 15 2006, 9:25 am: I've had GHD's for years and they're the best thing that ever happened to my hair!
However, I should stress that because they work at around 200 degrees C, you should try to limit use of them to around once a week if you can. I used them for two and a half years twice a week, with heat protection serums and sprays and my hair was still getting shorter on its own because it was so damaged. Be careful with them!
I have very curly, very frizzy hair and it takes both the frizz and the curl right out so it looks smooth and manageable (for once!), but you should NEVER use them on wet hair. Although there are ones that are supposed to work on damp hair, I have never yet come across a hairdresser who would recommend them. What happens is you have cold, wet hair, apply 200 degrees of heat to them, the water turns to steam very fast and the hair breaks as a result. Always ensure your hair is thoroughly dry before straightening and try to use a good protective spray. GHD do their own (although I must say that to me it smells like ginger ale!) so if you order the GHD's, get some of that at the same time and apply liberally before straightening.

But they're quicker than the average straightener because they're hotter and have ceramic plates. :) [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]

Which personally I say keeprs your hair straighter for longer... They are called I-Create
And no your cant use them on damp/wet hair..neither can you use them with wet/damp hair if its GHD straightners... Any hair straightners that straighten from wet to dry will NOT keep it straight and are proberly rubbish.
If you dont want to blow dry it then Plait it . then wait for it too dry, so that when its just damp blowdry it. ^^
