No need to be sarky! According to ghd they can be used to curl. I'd love to know too lol

I suspect there may be a new version of the GHD out - any of the straightners I've seen that say they can be used for curling have curved edges along the long edges of the plates, where as my GHD is completly flat. I think the only curl you could acheive with mine would be "D" shaped curl

No you can actually use the GHD to create gorgeous curls. Its sort of a hairdressers trick, really tricky to do without someone to show you how. Basically you wrap the top of the hair around the GHD, but have the GHD vertical, not horizontal, then just pull the hair through, twist the piece of hair around your finger and then let it go and it comes out in ringlets. Dunno if thats in anyway clear.....

i good trick that i saw on a hair video once was to roll your hair around a chopstick or round piece of wood and rub the ghd up and down the stick a couple of times and you will get deadly curls.

I heard you have to use the GHD as normal but spin around on the spot as fast as you can.
