My friends can all do it but for some reason i CANT do it for my life. It never works, it always goes wrong and i end up with random curly blobs at the end of my hair. I burn myself all the time whilst im doing it and it looks utterly CRAP. Its the most annoying thing EVER! All my friends can do it why can't i? What am i doing wrong? Or am i just a lost cause and i'm never going to be able to do it because im stupid. Whats wrong? I do it just like they say. Ive tried it a million different ways and i always turn out looking like a raggy little monster. If i dont get it right next time i try i am NEVER doing it again. Theres onviously just somethingw rong with me and i'm too thick to do it. ARGH it irritates me so much!

I've had my GHD's for a few months now, and they're life savers! They'll work on pretty much any type of hair and really well. To make it easier try seperating your hair into smaller bits (depending on how long/thick your hair is you'll know) Just use scrunchies or clips and loosely hold your hair in sections, straighten it bit by bit, when its finished go over it one last time just to make it all 100% even and voila! Straight hair is yours :D

(Try and start with the underneath of your hair, and around the back to make it easier.) I understand how annoying it can be, but just keep at it and stay calm! You'll get better the more you do it

Well i tried it, and one curl went really well, but i did it in the wrong direction! It tried doing it so it curled towards the front but i couldn't do it because i'm left handed. I'll try and get my mum to do it, if not ill just ahve to straighten my hair porperly (can't go out looking like the fuzzy mess i do!
