Hi all,
Just a warning and rant!!
I use GHD's every morning and have done for the past 10 years without a problem.
Yesterday i was having a bad arthritis day and managed to loosen my grip and the slid out of my hand - was so proud of myself for catching them for about to 10 seconds of relief!
However, i looked at them and realised id caught the ceramic plate and had it gripped in my hand - after finally letting them go and a long time under cold water i now have 2 fingers with 3rd degree burns down the length of them and wrapped up to look like snowmen
The lesson - dont catch ceramic GHD's or
Sorry for my rant

Aww poor you and ouch, that sounds very painful! Do you have someone else to help straighten your hair if you need to? I was useless at mine, I've given up and mousse it and let the curls run free!
Wish your poor hand better.
