Advantages: Damaging, expensive, makes you hair look terrible

Disadvantages: Matter of personal opinion

Admittedly, the box does look very presentable. And the heatproof roll bag will come in handy. As will the sectioning clips. But really...

GHD's straighten your hair. Seems obvious, but you really need to think about whether you actually want hair like that. Really flat, limp, poker straight. I went through the straight-hair phase, but never had GHD's, though I did want them. But they were too expensive. Looking back, I'm glad. This review is based on the GHD Purple IV Limited Edition Styler Hair Straightener Gift Set that my sister got for her birthday.

The amount of heat the starighteners subject your hair to is terrible. And it shows. They really damage your hair and actually make it smell like, well, burnt hair I suppose! That's even with piles of heat-protective product.

I know the hairdryer is only meant to be a travel one, but it's really not great either.

Personally, I'm not up for paying a lot of money to damage my hair and make it look terrible. I don't know about you...

Summary: Don't bother
