Stick To GHD!

I have been using GHD since I can remember and when they finally gave up on me after 5 years I decided to try Cloud 9's.
I am naturally black haired and went blonde about 3 years ago, so obviously my hair is quite brittle. It was slowly starting to get healthier until I switched to Cloud 9's!
My hair constantly felt dry and never straightened properly on the first attempt after drying. I also had to keep going over it during the day if I had time. My side bits practically broke off and became so short!
I thought it was because I had them too hot, but I had them on the normal setting. I then tried turning it down, but I might as well have been straightening it with a ruler.
Have recently just got rid or them and got a new pair of GHD's and I have already noticed the difference within a week! My hair straightens perfectly on the first time, feels super silky and no hair breaks off.
Don't waste your money on these, awful.
