My GHDs are just over a year old, the wire seems to have gone faulty? They make an odd crackling sound every so often and the light goes out, however if you move the wires the light somes back on! Is there a way I can fix these - they are my lifeline!!! I'm panicing incase anything serious happens..

I'm not sure if they actually had a warranty... My mum bought them so I'll ask her
They're really helpful, so should be able to offer some advice, if not sort the problem.
Good luck, I feel your pain, mine have gone away to be fixed for a similar problem!
Got a handy andy in ya family?
As Ilora-Danon said, hers keep blowing up yet she keeps buying more 'cos they are lifesaving for bad hair days, and even if you have to buy a new pair every year (if your anything like me) they are totally worth it anyway.
I dunno, my sister's straighteners are pretty good in comparison to my GHD's, can't remember what they're called (Kodos or something). They did cost a lot, but less than my GHD's did. And hers have never exploded in the 3 years she's had them .
I bought mine off eBay and am getting a bit worried as they approach 8/9 months old that I'll have to buy a new pair soon
On the lines of other straightners, I've bought Remington wet2straight and theyre good!!!
Yeah a friend of mine has got Kodos they are really good - but as you say not much cheaper really.
If I'd known where to get some from I would've bought those, but Rich is lazy and so he just bought GHD's from the website .
This is true When your GHDs explode you'll have to send Rich links to them
the first pair lasted about 2 years though.
its annoying because they're obviously not long lasting but nothing else compares to them, i hate all other straighteners! when i had to do without for a week i was nearly in tears trying to do my hair with my sisters shite remington ones. haha.
Glad you sent them back, you will probably get a new pair sent out, my previous 2 pairs went fault first pair was 2 weeks outta warranty and 2nd pair was nearly 6 months outta warranty and they were both replaced! I can't fault GHD they are great! Phone up next week and see what the score is they will advise you if your getting a new pair or not
