how good a copy are they, I ask because my missus had a pair she thought to be real, she used them regularly and they lasted a year and the switch popped and she smelled burning, and then the switch stopped functioning, and this meant the straighteners were always on regardless of the switch position, which apparently was a known fault with genuine ones a couple of years ago (featured on watchdog)
She returned them and used a temperary replacement of a different brand, and they weren't as good at all, reinforcing her belief that her GHD's were real, but GHD sent hers back claiming they were fake, could they have just been fobbing her off to avoid replacing them?
