MISSOURI -- I agree with you that Commerce Bank is tricky. I have been with them for about 6 years and they will do everything in their power to overdraft you. I have had debits appear in the pending section, then disappear and re-appear in processed section a week later more times than I can count. If you put a deposit in and go spend the money, they will always process the debit before the deposit and the tellers are always rude when you call them.
I also have problems with their monthly charges. Mine always come out on random days (meaning it could be the 20th of the month or the last day, there is no scheduled day) and it will always be when your account reaches under a certain dollar amount as if the computer is set up to take it out when it's about $15 and you make a purchase. The $10 monthly fee (which I think is b.s.) comes out before the debit every time. Also these monthly fees just started appearing out of nowhere.
I signed up for free checking and when I called up to ask why is there service charges the teller just played stupid and said "that's how it's always been". Keep in mind I had been banking with them for nearly 4 years at the time. I don't really understand how they can change the agreement that you signed up for, but they did. I mean really, is that even legal? Isn't there a law that says you are grandfathered in?
If you are banking with Commerce (or Comi Bank that we jokingly call it in our house), I would recommend keeping a checkbook and documenting your spending, don't rely on their online banking. In my opinion it is designed to overdraft you, not help you. And as far as people on here saying you should have "X" about of dollars in your account at all times, not everyone has money to leave in the bank. I single-handedly support my family and live paycheck to paycheck so these $35 to me is a lot when I have food to buy or clothes for my child, so please don't be so condescending.
I have been with the Downtown Branch of Commerce Bank for about 8 years or so. I have my VISA Card with them, and a high credit limit. For two consecutive months I have not received a bill on my Commerce Bank VISA, and it has nothing to do with the Post Office because I have NEVER had a problem with them, and ALL my other mail and bills have arrived timely.
Please note: The people at the St. Louis Downtown Branch are wonderful, friendly and helpful and very responsive, especially **. I have absolutely no complaint about them. HOWEVER, Kansas City is apparently staffed by quite a few "jerks" who seem to care nothing for your problems when you call them.
EACH TIME they have failed to send me my VISA bill, they have tacked a $35 charge for "late payment" when they did not provide me with a bill. They haughtily tell me they sent it to the address I gave them, but the bills have stopped coming, and no one there seems to care. They obviously would rather dun me $35 each time they fail to provide me with a bill. BUT that's not the worst part, although I am demanding they remove the two $35 charges.
They have been calling me every day just after 9 AM and usually just before 9 PM, though tonight it was at 7:13 PM and they left a message to call their billing/collections department. I called back at about 9 PM and after wading through their voice mail system, I finally got through to a human being. I didn't raise my voice or use any bad language, but I told the lady that they seem to have a policy of harassing their customers until they have thoroughly demoralized them and bills get paid just to stop the harassment. She abruptly told me she didn't have to take that from me. I didn't use curse words or raise my voice, but she hung up on me.
THEY are the ones who keep failing to provide me with a bill, yet they hit me with their late payment fees and the irritating phone calls. If they call me early in the morning (let's assume for a moment my payments are legitimately late), do they somehow think I can have a payment in their hands in Kansas City that evening? What is the purpose of the evening calls if not to harass?
They may think they are within the parameters of the applicable federal collection statutes, but if they keep it up, I am going to file a lawsuit against Commerce Bank here in St Louis seeking actual and punitive damages for the intentional infliction of emotional distress. And I'll have one of my friends file it, but actually, I have been trying jury cases for 35+ years, and this one would be like falling off a log.
Judging from some of the other complaints I have read tonight, they have a real problem in their Collection Dept. and in other departments in Kansas City, and they ought to try to be understanding and helpful rather than sarcastic, supercilious and rude.
I am now done, but I hope all the people out there who have had problems with the sending of their VISA bills, unjust and unfair late charges, and complete rudeness when the customer calls seeking help, will write my3cents.com and share their experiences.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI -- I have had an account with Commerce Bank since 1984. I never had problems until May 2010. May 1, 2010 my Visa was stolen and used. I went to Commerce to stop the use of the card and get a new one. An investigation had to be conducted which would take about 3 weeks. Commerce Bank did advance/replace the money stolen. But that's when the nightmares started.
I was having issues with creditors. May 17, 2010 I call Commerce to inquire about stop checking payments. I was told that each check would be $30.00. I requested (2) stop payments, $60, on May 17, 2010 and one on May 29, 2010, $30.00. The bank sent checks through anyway. I went to Commerce on Blue Ridge Blvd and request a restriction be put on the account, they continued to send the checks through. Each time I was charge insufficient funds and return check fees. Several time the account got up to $892.00. This went on week after the stop payment until May 29, 2010.
That same day I went into the bank at the Plaza Office and request that my account be changed. When I was write a check, the bank would not pay as your debits came in, they choose to pay the largest down. I disagree with that, if I send a check in on Friday, it gets to the bank on Monday along with an ATM purchase that came in on Monday. I feel the account should be debited the way the transaction come in. Do not rearrange the order in which the debits came into the bank to warrant adding an insufficient charge. I sorry to be rambling on, but I am really upset by the way my account and myself was treated in this matter.
Finally Commerce Bank locked my account after receiving my direct deposit without notification. I had to wait all week before I could get them on the phone. I had to take off work. Wait until 9:30 am to get to talk with the Manager of the Plaza, ** something, who informed me that he had closed my new account because of too much activity and insufficient funds in 30 days. I did have direct deposit. I do owe a balance of $234.16 to Commerce Bank because of all the insufficient fund fee and all the return check fee charge after $90.00 stop payment was paid.
I was told by a Commerce Bank representative that the creditors had the right to be paid. WELL AS A CUSTOMER, WHEN I PAY FOR A SERVICE, I have the right to get what I pay for, not get charged continuously with a double whammy for something I paid to stop. That bank employee is paid to do a service, not be anyone's financial advisor. The comments and thoughts should stay to herself.
It turns out I paid a total of $90.00 to Commerce Bank to stop payment and the checks kept going through from May to the end of June or first of July. Should this get looked into because it happen to a lot of people? I'm on board with any action that takes place. It's just not right Commerce just disregarded the 26 year that I banked with them.
MISSOURI -- I have banked with Commerce for well over a decade. In the last two years, however, their service has deteriorated to the point where I fired them and went with US Bank. Good luck finding a live knowledgeable person when you call the customer service 800 number. After jumping through multiple hoops, you will eventually reach one. I suggest calling twice if you want to compare what you are told. If you have lots of time, three times is even better.
The ATM card they gave me worked at every ATM in St. Louis and surrounding areas...but not at any of the five Commerce Bank locations I went to. You can imagine how much I was charged then for transactions. When I requested a new card that would actually work at one of the Commerce ATMs, they sent me a Visa check card...in my deceased husband's name (he wasn't on my accounts). After multiple attempts (see number 1 above) to reach a live person, I was issued a new ATM card. Oh wait, no...no, it wasn't...it was another damn Visa check card which I specifically stated that I did NOT want. (They charge you $1.50/month for this thing.)
I used Bill Pay, alleged to be free, a few times. Oh, it's not free...I was charged $6.95/month for it. This was reversed when I stomped into a branch and spoke with a VP guy when I cancelled the checking account three weeks ago. But wait, there's more! The VP guy did NOT cancel my account as requested. He just cancelled my ability to look at the account on line. He also did not return my phone calls when the check I was told would be mailed for the balance did not arrive.
I ended up cancelling it by writing a check to myself for the balance. I was told by the teller at the drive-up window yesterday: "You can't do that." I said, "Give me my money now." She did. Good-bye Commerce. You will not be missed.
I am an attorney writing in complete disgust as to the way my client was treated at this bank. In order to prove her case, my client requires her bank statements from 2007-08. She needs them by February 17, 2010. My client went into the branch in December 2009 to request them. She did not have her old account number with her, but gave her social security number and name. After weeks of following up, she returned again on February 4, only to be informed that they could not locate the account without her account number. If she had known that in the first place, she would have immediately returned with her account number.
Regardless, she proceeded to provide them with her account number on that day. She was told that it would take another three weeks. She then put me on the phone in order to notify them that this was unacceptable, that she needed the statements by February 17, 2010. I notified them of the dire consequences to my client if she did obtain the statements by that date. They were unsympathetic and stated there was nothing they could do.
I suggested that she ask them to at least write a letter confirming the existence of the account in 2007-08, which branch managers do all the time. Without explanation, they refused and stated that the same people who would take three weeks to research her old statements would take three weeks to write the letter. They suggested to her that she call customer service. She asked them to call customer service, since they are supposedly there to serve her, and they refused.
They then threatened to remove her from the premises because she was taking up too much time and they were unable to assist the other customers--not because she was unruly or belligerent (which she was not), but because she was taking too much of their time! I find this the most appalling of bad customer service stories that I have ever heard. Not only did the branch refuse to write a letter confirming existence of an account, which they do all the time, but they then threatened to remove a customer from the premises because she was politely demanding that they correct their own mistake. Unbelievable. I urge all to do their banking elsewhere.
I have been getting three or four emails each day telling me that there is some sort of problem with my account. The emails always show the last few digits of an account number. Those are different every time. I don't have an account with Commerce Bank, and have never had an account with them!
Being concerned that this is a scam or a phishing attempt, I looked on the web for "Commerce Bank". Sure enough I found a reasonable looking web page. That page listed a phone number that matched the phone number in the emails that I've been getting, so I decided that maybe it's legitimate. So I called that number.
After getting past a couple of "press 1 for ..." messages, I got to a message that asked me to enter MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! Not my account number or my name, MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER! That just didn't sound legitimate so I hung up. I still don't know whether Commerce Bank is a scam or a real bank. Can anyone tell me?
MARYLAND HEIGHTS, MISSOURI -- My wife has been a depositor with Commerce Bank since around 2008. As of August 2012 she had $550 in an account with them. They posted on their website some malarkey about an "inactive account fee". When we tried to check the balance today (3/21/2015), she has less than $40. This is the result of the inactive account fees.
Considering that inactive account literally means we didn't touch the money, under what "best practices" do they justify charging a customer over $500 for the Great Privilege of having a deposit account? Yes, it is our fault (we haven't done anything with that account for almost 3 years), but we feel cheated that they took so much without trying to contact us about it. Go with a Credit Union!
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI -- I have been trying to resolve this problem for over 2 months now. I called to close the account and they stated, "you still have an Expedia credit for $50." I kept it open and charged a hotel, expecting my refund on the next bill. It was not on there. I called and was told that offer never existed. I do not have any other cards, so I know that is not true.
I was told they would investigate it and get back to me, that I should wait for the new bill to be sent. When the bill arrived, there was no refund and a late charge was added. I called back 3 times and each time was told that I had to talk to the supervisor that took my information and she would call me back since she is always off when I call. I still have not received a call. My payment is due in 5 days and I'm sure I will get charged again for a late payment. This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I feel violated and disgusted.
GRANDVIEW, MISSOURI -- I am 60 years old, have been disabled for 5 years and have a problem with Commerce Bank purposely withholding proper documents I need to file my taxes and therefore I have been unable to file my taxes this year. I got a 1099 form from them for closing out my IRA with them for a little over $1,000 in 2009.
They have records on file, all the documentation they need to veryify I am disabled, I mean my doctor sent them a letter plus when I had my account with them they knew that every month I received a disability check from Social Security. So they are well-aware I am disabled and have been for years. They also know my age and based on my age there is also no reason for having coded my 1099 as taxable/penalty for early withdrawal.
I have tried to talk to them, the main customer service with Commerce Bank says that I have to handle this through my local branch. That is the Grandview, Missouri branch and they don't return my phone calls. They did call once saying they needed a letter from my doctor but I called back to advise them they already have a letter, I needed to get it for them once before but they deny they have it.
So I told them forget the disability based on my age, there is no penalty or taxes either but they never even bother to call me back. The person I talked to at the Grandview branch is someone called **. I left messages on several voice mails and no one ever returns my call. So I called and talked to a supervisor and she refused to help and just said they need the letter.
They are being deliberately difficult and not helping to give me the documents they are required to give me and I am now fed up with wasting my time to get a document they have the ability and the requirement to supply me but refuse to do so. I told them I will contact the IRS and they can deal with it, but I definitely would recommend anyone looking for a good bank to avoid Commerce like the plague because if you ever have a dispute over a fraudulent charge or an issue like this, Commerce does everything in their power to be NOT HELPFUL.
I am going to spend my time on the internet on every available site warning people about the unethical and illegal behavior of Commerce Bank and its employees and its obstructionist activities. If I can't file my taxes, I will make use of my time warning any and all about Commerce Bank.
Recently I had a horrible experience with my bank (Commerce Bank). I have been banking with Commerce Bank since I was 16 years old. I have never once overdrawn my account. I was charged overdraft fees for a charge I did not make. On 10/17 I made a total purchase for $150 at a business. I authorized a tip of $25 on a purchase that was for $125. That was the purchase that I made. To be clear, it was $150 total.
My running balance was fine and always remains at or above $100. I noticed my balance was $125 off where it should have been. I realized that there was an additional charge of $125 for the business on 10/19. I called the business, furious that they charged me twice. They explained to me that they had not charged me twice and referred me to my bank. So I called the bank and was told that the charge was because the original transaction was for $125 and that was what was authorized, so it had to sit in pending transactions.
What I don't understand is the $125 was the authorized transaction and is included in the $150 - how can they capture an additional $125? How can they take that extra $125 from my running balance? How is it legal to create an imaginary charge and then charge me overdraft fees for it? They said that it would drop off in a couple days, but I insisted that it be removed as it was not a valid charge.
The next day I noticed the overdraft fees on my account for a charge that this bank created. When I called to speak to a representative, she was condescending and unhelpful. She wasn't even listening to what I was saying. She then tried to sell me overdraft protection as a solution to a problem that the bank created. I do not need overdraft protection because I do not over withdrawal my account.
Then she transferred me to no one. She said she was going to transfer me to another department but really she disconnected the call. I admit I wasn't being nice because I was angry and I was not being heard. I called my branch and had the fees waived "as a one-time courtesy".
Why should it be a one-time courtesy when I never overdrew my account? No one was willing to admit that it was a bank error. I want an admission that this was not my error and that I did not overdraw my account because I didn't. It is not fair and I am certain that it is not legal that for a bank to add duplicate charges to a loyal customer's accounts.

This Gadget Can Test for Bad Breath!Thursday, February 4th, 2010
So, it's common knowledge that bad breath isn't something that people are too fond of. It can hurt friendships, work relationships, romances, and so on. Allegedly, Barack Obama wakes up 'stinky and snory', according to his wife Michelle!
Now, in the United Kingdom, a machine that is 50 times more sensitive than the human nose exists that can supposedly get rid of halitosis – for good! This gas chromatography machine measures and identifies the three primary types of bad breath-causing bacteria. It doesn't just say if someone has halitosis, but it specifically identifies the kinds of molecules that are causing the problem. This helps dental professionals target the halitosis more precisely. This machine was developed in Australia, and it costs around £8,000 (which is over $12,000 in America). The machine works by having patients give a breath sample into a plastic syringe, and it usually gives results within 15 minutes.
After diagnosing the bad breath, the dentists recommend nasal flushes, medicated mouthwash, etc., in order to banish the anaerobic bacteria causing the bad breath. Depending on where the anaerobic bacteria is located (i.e. mouth, throat, or nose), it gives off different smells. The tongue is usually the culprit if the bad breath is coming from the mouth, since the smell could be comng from proteins being broken down into amino acids. In the throat, bad breath often comes from the tonsils, from certain growths that are usually formed by food debris. Tonsil stones are not uncommon. Through the nose, sinus infections and excess mucus (post nasal drip) often cause bad smells.

The Food of a Younger Land: A Portrait of American Foodby Mark Kurlansky
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the New York Times bestselling author who "powerfully demonstrates the defining role food plays in history and culture" (Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
In the throes of the Great Depression, a make-work initiative for authors — called "America Eats" — was created by the WPA to chronicle the eating habits, traditions, and struggles of local Americans. Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt and Cod, unearths this forgotten literary treasure, chronicling a bygone era when Americans had never heard of fast food or grocery superstores. Kurlansky brings together the WPA contributions — featuring New York automats and Georgia Coca-Cola parties, Maine lobsters and Montana beaver tails — and brilliantly showcases them with authentic recipes, anecdotes, and photographs.
"A genuine culinary and historical keepsake: in the late 1930s the WPA farmed out a writing project with the ambition of other New Deal programs: an encyclopedia of American food and food traditions from coast-to-coast similar to the federal travel guides. After Pearl Harbor, the war effort halted the project for good; the book was never published, and the files were archived in the Library of Congress. Food historian Kurlansky (Cod; The Big Oyster) brought the unassembled materials to light and created this version of the guide that never was. In his abridged yet remarkable version, he presents what some of the thousands of writers (among them Eudora Welty, Zora Neale Hurston and Nelson Algren) found: America, its food, its people and its culture, at the precise moment when modernism and progress were kicking into gear. Adhering to the administrators' original organization, the book divides regionally; within each section are entries as specific as 'A California Grunion Fry,' and as general and historical as the one on 'Sioux and Chippewa Food.' Though we've become a fast-food nation, this extraordinary collection — at once history, anthropology, cookbook, almanac and family album — provides a vivid and revitalizing sense of the rural and regional characteristics and distinctions that we've lost and can find again here." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"[V]ivid and playful dispatches from pre-interstate, pre-fast-food America, when food was local and cuisine regional. Kurlansky selected zesty writings, factual and imaginative, describing barbecues, fries, and feasts....Fun, illuminating, and provocative." Booklist
From the New York Times-bestselling author of Salt and Cod comes a remarkable portrait of American food before World War II.
Bestselling author Mark Kurlansky paints a detailed picture of Depression-era Americans through the food that they ate and the local traditions and customs they observed when planning and preparing meals.
Eat your way around the world without leaving your home in this mouthwatering cultural history of 100 classic dishes
When we eat, we travel." Thus begins this irresistible tour of the cuisines of the world, revealing what people eat and why in forty cultures. Whats the origin of kimchi in Korea? Why do we associate Argentina with steak? Why do people in Marseille eat bouillabaisse? Whats the story behind the curries of India? Bubbling over with anecdotes, trivia, and lore—from the role of a priest in the genesis of camembert to the Mayan origins of the word chocolate"—The World on a Plate serves up a delicious mélange of recipes, history, and culinary wisdom to be devoured by food lovers and armchair travelers alike.
About the Author
Mark Kurlansky is the New York Times bestselling author of many books, including The Food of a Younger Land, Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World; Salt: A World History; 1968: The Year That Rocked the World; and The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell. He lives in New York City.

You are one, if not one the greatest influences on me as a drummer and artist. When I was a freshman in college in upstate New York i was turned onto The Steve Kimock Band from your feature article in Modern Drummer. Simply put, I turn as many people onto that music as possible. I was blown away by your creative usage of the cowbell. In all honesty I had never really heard anyone bring to the stage what you did in your own way. I would like to say thank you for keeping traditional grip alive! And thank you pushing the format like you did.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Some confidence is returning to the gold market.
Gold futures US:GCG3 erased their year-to-date losses Thursday after a 1.4% rally to $1,678 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, driven by data implying strength in China's economy and a sharply weaker U.S. dollar. See: Gold ends 1.4% higher on China exports, weak dollar.
Which professions are prospering?

Gold futures prices posted month-on-month declines in October, November and December 2012.
Even as prices stabilize, the precious metal may not do much -- for a while.
With all of the questions about the debt ceiling and the government budget, gold is likely to "range trade for the first quarter of this year," said Chuck Butler, president of EverBank World Markets.
"Once the landscape for those things can be laid out, the market will then have a clear direction," he said. "That direction most likely will include kicking the can down the road for the U.S., which would potentially drive the dollar down further, which would be good for gold."
Gold fizzled last year, finishing with a gain of 7%, the smallest yearly gain since 2008. See: Gold, silver and oil markets hope for a better year.
"With gold consolidating or going 'sideways' for the year, there was not much excitement in the gold market and therefore less buying," said David Morgan, publisher of investment newsletter The Morgan Report.
As 2012 neared its end, there weren't quite as many forecasts for record prices in the new year as the market had become accustomed to over gold's bull run, which just marked its 12th year of gains.
Dulled appeal
The metal's performance disappointed investors who were used to phenomenal gains, like the nearly 30% jump in 2010.
There isn't much doubt that gold is a safe-haven asset, said Steven Feldman, co-founder and chief executive officer at institutional precious-metals provider Gold Bullion International.
But there are some concerns among investors because of the metal's negative correlation to the U.S. dollar, he said, raising the question of "How can it be safe if it moves against the 'safe haven' currency?"
Indeed, the dollar was to blame for some of gold's lost appeal.

The City of Colorado Springs and Fort Carson are partnering to reuse untreated construction demolition timber as playground wood chips. For Fort Carson, it?s a way to avoid landfill fees and work toward their zero waste goal. For the City, it?s a way to distribute more high-grade wood chips without increased material costs or the need for extracted resources. Fort Carson completes a rough chip of the untreated wood, removes nails and delivers it to the City of Colorado Springs Forestry Division. There City staff complete a second grind and use magnets to remove any remaining staples or metal bits. Then, Parks Division staff use the high-grade chips as base cushioning in City playgrounds. The City and Fort Carson anticipate being able to reuse about 1,000 cubic yards (the equivalent of 100 10-yard dump truck loads) of wood chips this way.
Occasionally, office supplies become outdated for a specific work group, yet may still be usable. Before throwing office items away or recycling them, City staff try to find the used supplies a second home first. For the last several years, the City has held an internal supply-swap to address this issue. It helps reduce office supply costs, brings awareness to making prudent office supply purchases, promotes inter-departmental teamwork and shows respect for the earth's limited resources. At the last event in February, local non-profit organizations were also encouraged to take what they could make use of from the remaining office supplies. Nearly 95% of the supplies, such as 3-ring binders, file folders and organizational items, found a second home.

CANTON The Fort Drum man charged in the death of an infant is seeking to have murder charges against him dismissed.
Gary L. McKenzie II, 22, of 154 Hailesboro St., Apt. 26, Gouverneur, is charged with second-degree murder, a class A-1 felony; second-degree manslaughter, a class C felony; reckless assault of a child, a class D felony, and endangering the welfare of a child, a class A misdemeanor. He is accused of throwing 7-month-old Braylin W. Chambers to the floor, causing an inoperable brain injury including hemorrhaging, at 1:39 a.m. July 16.
Arguments were to be held Thursday in St. Lawrence County Court between McKenzies attorney, St. Lawrence County Public Defender Stephen D. Button, and District Attorney Mary E. Rain regarding a Dec. 13 motion filed by Mr. Button seeking dismissal of the murder charge, citing the lack of proof supporting the element of depraved indifference.
Ms. Rain submitted her written response to the motion to dismiss Thursday morning to County Judge Jerome J. Richards.
Under Penal Law 125.25(4) a person is guilty of second-degree murder when under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, and being eighteen years old or more the defendant recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of serious physical injury or death to another person less than eleven-years-old and thereby causes the death of such person.
Mr. Button argued in his motion that McKenzie contacted 911 dispatchers following the alleged incident and performed CPR for about 8 to 10 minutes at their direction until he was relieved by state police and EMTs.
The facts, as presented to the grand jury, support the position that the defendant immediately recognized that the child was in distress and contacted the appropriate authorities without delay, Mr. Button wrote.
Mr. Button wrote that the grand jury testimony of Dr. Laura Knight, who prepared the autopsy report on the infant, and Dr. Donald C. Schuessler Jr., E.J. Noble Hospital medical director, indicated that prior injuries suffered by the child were not a part of a systematic pattern of abuse, but rather were separate and distinct from the injury that ultimately resulted in the childs death.
Mr. Button added that the evidence against McKenzie cannot reasonably be construed to demonstrate a state of mind that is wicked, evil or inhuman, citing case law.
All reasons, he argued, why the charge should be dismissed.
But Ms. Rain said Mr. Button brought this identical motion before the court on Nov. 19, to which the court ruled evidence was legally sufficient to support each of the charged crimes.
Ms. Rain wrote, Addressing the issue of depraved indifference the court noted, the observations of Dr. Schuessler and of Dr. Knight all provided competent evidence which, if credited by the grand jury, gave reasonable cause to believe that the defendant acted with depraved indifference to the life of the child.
Ms. Rain wrote that she was requesting the court again deny the motion based upon its November ruling and that there was legally sufficient evidence presented to the grand jury.
Judge Richards reserved his right to submit his decision in writing at a later date.

The 2013 Sweets & Snacks Expo wrapped up last week in Chicago, and, as usual, it delivered on showcasing new and innovative products.
Here are some of our favorite finds from the show floor:
Reed's and Regal Crown Candy Rolls
Old-fashioned Regal Crown sour fruit hard candy rolls, which originated from England's Trebor Bassett in 1953, and Reed's hard candy rolls, which debuted in 1893 via The Reed's Candy Company, both fell off candy radar, but are now back! You can thank the New York-based Iconic Candy company for their revival. Each brand has kept its vintage graphics and stayed true to original flavors.
The re-released line of Reed's Candy Rolls includes individually wrapped Cinnamon, Butter Scotch, Root Beer, and Caramel flavors, and the Regal Crown line includes individually wrapped Sour Orange, Sour Lemon, Sour Cherry, and Sour Grape flavors.
The Iconic Candy company has also revived the retired BarNone candy bar made with crispy chocolate wafers, chocolate cream, crushed peanuts, and a double layering of milk chocolate. The packaging on the BarNone is true to the original, minus the Hershey's logo. A BarNone Jr. bar, weighing in at 0.8 oz. (half the size of the regular BarNone), will also soon be available.
Ring Pop Gummies
It was only a matter of time before Bazooka Candy Brand went gummy with its Ring Pops. The chewy and 100% wearable bling comes in four colors and flavors, including Strawberry (pink), Cherry (red), Watermelon (green), and Blue Raspberry (blue).
Lemonhead Tins
Limited Edition 1.5-oz. Lemonhead Tins celebrate 50 years of Pucker Power. "At a time when legendary American companies are closing their doors, we are proud to honor one of Ferrara Candy Company's longstanding brands with these commemorative tins," says Ferrara Candy Company CEO Salvatore Ferrara II. Made with real lemon juice to give the candies their unique lemon flavor, Lemonhead candies are fat free and the tins are really cute. A fun alternative to ho-hum mint tins.
Coffee Thins
Although Tierra Nueva's Coffee Thins were officially launched in August 2012, they're still new to us and a fab find. Made from premium coffee beans, the small 0.5-oz. squares look and taste like chocolate, but are made from premium-roasted coffee beans and come in three flavors: Americano, Latte, and Espresso. Each square is approximately 60 to 70 calories, and is the equivalent of one 8-oz. cup of coffee. It's a whole new, unique way to consume coffee and caught the attention of industry experts and candy buyers at the 2013 Sweets & Snacks Expo who voted Coffee Thins "Most Innovative New Product – Non Chocolate Category."
Cherry Hi-Chew
Hi-Chew, the soft and chewy candy from Japanese manufacturer Morinaga, now comes in a cherry flavor. It is surprising that cherry didn't arrive sooner in the American market, but we're happy to see it now in the Hi-Chew lineup. The cherry chews have great texture and the flavor is really, really good. Plus they're gluten-free, cholesterol-free, and made with real fruit juices and purees. Score!
Jelly Belly Jewel Collection
Jelly Belly jelly beans have gone glam with edible pearlescent coatings that add a shimmer of brilliance to each bean's color. The gem-inspired beans come in seven of Jelly Belly's most popular flavors: Jewel Blueberry, Jewel Bubble Gum, Jewel Sour Apple, Jewel Cream Soda, Jewel Berry Blue, Jewel Orange, and Jewel Very Cherry. The pretty beans have huge potential for weddings, princess parties, and candy buffets.
Color Your Own Sweethearts
These black-and-white Sweetheart boxes are made specifically for coloring. The new 1 oz. packs will coincide with a coloring contest that will reward the top entrants in separate age groups with cool prizes. More detailed information, including rules and regulations, will be released closer to the 2014 Valentine's Day season at www.mynecco.com.
A mega-trend also appeared on the show floor, which was impossible to miss: Teeny-tiny versions of popular candies. Here's the lowdown:
• Mars debuted unwrapped Snickers and Milky Way Bites
• Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. unveiled unwrapped Starburst Minis and Life Savers Berry Bites Gummies
• Hershey's launched unwrapped Kit Kat Minis, soft and chewy Jolly Rancher Bites, and Twizzlers Filled Fruity Bites
• Perfetti Van Melle USA launched Airheads Bites in fruit flavors
• The makers of Bonomo Turkish Taffy came out with chocolate-covered bits of banana- and vanilla-flavored taffy called "Bonomo Nibbles"
• Ferrara Candy Company debuted individually wrapped Chuckles Minis
"Minis," "Bites," and "Nibbles" are undoubtedly the latest buzzwords in Candy Land, so it will be interesting to see if the pendulum swings back to "Giant" and "King-Sized" in 2014 … or if candies get even skinnier.
Stay tuned.

" The mark of quality for hair straighteners, GHD Salon Stylers are an ever reliable and effective pair of straighteners. Whilst they are more expensive than most, it's not difficult to see why. "
I love my GHDs! I really, really recommend them. I've had them since I was a teenager, and have gone through three pairs since. Yes, they are very expensive - probably one of the most expensive straighteners out there, but boy - are they worth it!
I have really thick hair which is frizzy and curly, and GHDs are the only straighteners I have found which actually tame my mane. These particular ones have big thick plates which make it really easy to get through thick hair quite quickly.
Once straightened, my hair stays straight for days. And, unlike other brands of straighteners which use metal plates, the ceramic plates mean that it isn't at all frizzy. The ceramic plates also make straightening a nicer experience as, unlike metal ones, they don't tug on your hair.
The GHDs get really hot which is why they're so effective, however this does mean that they can damage your hair. As such, if you don't need to, I would recommend not using these every day. Also, use a protecting spray wherever possible to keep your hair in as good condition as possible. Also - be really careful of your ears/feet/hands when these are on - I have suffered many burns as a result of my carelessness around them!
My GHDs have always lasted really well. When I was younger I did use them every day (I don't now - I am too old to care what I look like most of the time), and they never died on me. The only reason I've needed three pairs is because I am horribly careless and dropped my first two pairs.
The newer models have a great safety feature when they turn off after 30mins if they haven't been used. This has saved me numerous mornings of worry thinking I might have left them turned on.
In my opinion, it's really worth investing in a pair of these if you have thick, untameable hair.
When I was 11 I bought my first pair of straighteners and to be honest, they were rubbish. They cost around £10 and they did nothing to my frizzy hair. I wasted time with cheap sets like that until I was 18 and I treated myself to GHD's I remember being so excited.
I have GHD Model 4.2B and they are now coming up to their fifth birthday. I have a feeling they may die anyday now, but I would except that. These are amazing, they heat up (even at the age they are now) in around 30 seconds and if left on for more than 30 mins they turn themselves off. The 'GHC' logo is rubbing off along the sides and there are some signs of wear and tear around the plates, but apart from that they are perfectly fine.
Also the straighteners create great flicks, and I can use them to define my curls. These are a wonder product.
They just do the job so well. They manage to get my very curly hair perfectly straight and it stays quite well throughout the day. This has not changed with age, proving this is a long term product.
I have had friends that have bought them and had to replace them year after year,but I have never had that problem.
When I bought mine they cost me £118 (I remember as it was the biggest purchase I had ever made!), they can now be purchased for a bargain for £99. I would seriously reccommend them. Stop wasting time with others and pick these.
I have been loyal to GHD straighteners ever since I began straightening my hair years and years ago. I love their straighteners and believe that they do produce minimum damage to my hair and always leave it soft and sleek.
When I saw that they had released the GHD straighteners in this wide model I was so pleased and looked forward to purchasing them. I actually sold my thin ones on eBay and got a great amount to put towards my new ones and had them soon after.
My hair is very long and thick, and naturally kind of kinky - I will have straighter parts and then curls mixed throughout. My other straighteners never disappointed and so I knew these would be great - and they were. Previously to straighten my hair I would divide into 6 or 8 sections and straighten, however with these I now only divide into 4 sections and still get through my whole head very quickly.
I used to straighten my hair pretty much every day but now not so much, though I've never felt my hair has been damaged by the GHDs at all. I also find that having straightened my hair one day, the following day my hair is still very straight - making it easy to then go over and be done very quickly.
I think I'll always be loyal to GHD when purchasing straighteners because they do such a good job, last ages and are worth the money. I absolutely recommend these to anyone who is after a good pair of straighteners, especially if you have thicker hair - they are perfect.
I have had a pair of these for years now and I would well recommend for those with thick and long hair!
My hair is quite long and the normal thin straighteners dont seem to hold.
I have replaced these only once due to the last pair breaking through my own fault and i think they are fantastic!
The price seems alot to pay but for the quality and performance they are well worth it!
They heat up very quickly and do get very very hot so you must have a heat mat to put them onto whilst using and cooling down otherwise they have been known to cause small fires. Better to be safe then sorry and the heat mats are very reasonable too.
You do have to be careful with the heat as they are very hot and you need to be careful of your ears and forehead as they are quite large so getting really close to roots can be tricky.
Otherwise these are well recommended and excellent value for money!
I've always been rather proud to say I own some GHD hair straightners - the brand has a good reputation in the world of hair, and unfortunately a price tag to match. I was very lucky to receive these as a lovely Christmas present last year, and was very grateful as a hair appliance is not something I would willingly pay close to £100 for.
My hair is fairly fine, so these are probably not the right straightners for me, but it seems whatever the hair type, they really work! In a handful of strokes I was left with super straight, sleek and glossy hair. This was done in the amount of time it would take me to complete a quarter of my hair with other straightners. My friend who has substantially thicker hair than myself also likes to use them as they control her 'mane' effortlessly. If it's possible they were actually a little TOO effective for my liking as although the results were extremely long lasting (hair remained straight following a good nights sleep), it left mine feeling a bit limp and flyaway. This was more likely due to my hair type or my lack of hair styling skill rather than the product itself though!
One thing to be careful of is the heat that is emitted from the device. The reason they achieve such wonderful results is because they get so incredibly hot; hotter than standard heated hair appliances. The heat can be felt when it's just close by, and just the slightest brush against an ear, finger or neck will burn. The steam can be seen rising from the hair as soon as the straighners make contact, so definitely protect your hair using some specially formulated spray or serum prior to styling. I would also very strongly advise resting the appliance on a heat proof mat whilst cooling; to be honest I was a bit disappointed the product wasn't supplied with one. However, I did receive a manual with them which is fabulous. It explains exactly how to use them, tips on hairstyling and care, and also how to use them safely.
I've had them about 9 months now and have not had a problem; for what they cost I wouldn't expect to at this stage though.
Perhaps not ideal for me, but a highly recommended purchase for anyone with thicker/wavy/difficult to control hair, or simply anyone who wants super straight hair and fast.
I've been using GHD straighteners since I was 15. I first owned a pair jointly with my sister but when she moved away to University I decided to invest in my own set.
Both have been the wide plate straighteners as these were recommended by my hairdresser as being particularly good. I have used the narrower straighteners a few times when at a friends and found them quite different. I like that are able to curl your hair with the smaller GHDs but I found to be not nearly as effective as my wide plate ones.
The straighteners are primarily made from a very dark grey hard plastic, this makes up the main body of the straighteners. There is a rubber coated wire which leads to the plug, this length of the wire is pretty generous and suits the majority of uses for me. In between the two plates of the straighteners are two gold coloured metal rectangles. These are the plates that heat up and in which you clamp your hair and run it through to straighten it.
There is also a small red light inside which when initially turned on is constant and then begins to blink when the straighteners are hot enough to use. Opposite them is a reflective hologram sticker of a girl so if you can't see the light you can see the reflection and so check whether they are turned on or off. There is also a switch for on and off, but I tend to just switch them off at the plug when done rather than use this.
They heat up relatively quickly, 5 minutes to get to an appropriate heat to straighten. This is perfect if in a hurry, I tend to switch them on when I begin blow drying my hair. The plates are smooth and it is easy to run your hair through them. You have control of how hard they are clamped down so there is little chance of pulling your hair. I do find the plates are very hot and the sides are not protected so I have burnt my ears and neck on numerous occasions. I am pretty clumsy so not sure if this is just me or everyone's experience too.
The wide plates make it ten times quicker to straighten your hair as they cover a greater area of hair in one sweep. I tend to find that each section of hair needs roughly two sweeps before it is straight and sleek. The straighteners are extremely easy to use and I've really never had any trouble with the way in which they function.
I've owned my current pair for roughly 5 years now and have experienced a few technical difficulties with them. After a couple of years of use I thought the fuse had gone because they failed to light up or heat when plugged into the wall. I discovered there was a slightly loose connection between the wire and plug and that if I pulled the wire taut they would heat up just fine. This obviously isn't overly convenient but weirdly enough the problem seems to come and go. I can use them for well over 6 months not experiencing this issue and then it will return to a few months. It hasn't been inconvenient enough that I need to replace them yet, though I imagine I might at some point.
There have been times when I have accidentally left them plugged in and heating up and then left the house to go somewhere. Usually there is someone at home to help but in the case where there is no one the straighteners have a safety system to prevent them overheating. After they reach a certain heat they switch off and then once cooled enough will turn back on. Obviously this isn't ideal for the straighteners but it does prevent a fire so I'm glad it has this function.
Originally I think I paid £90 for these straighteners, though prices vary depending on where you buy them. To a teenager this was ridiculously expensive but now I'm a bit older I see the value in forking out a little extra for these. I've used far cheaper straighteners and found you get static in your hair and damage, both of which are far from ideal. I've never experienced either of these things with the GHDs and this is reason enough to pay a little extra.
Overall, a great pair of straighteners with minimal issues.
This GHD professional salon styling iron is perhaps one of my most treasured possessions. Yes, I know it sounds overdramatic to be quite so fond of a hair-styling appliance but I am. These are simply fantastic.
I have the misfortune of having not quite straight, but not quite curly hair which has to be the most irritating type of hair ever. It just needs so much help to look half decent. Over the years I have tried so many styling tools. My first straightening tool (a Babyliss 'steam' straightener) was bought fifteen years ago and since then I have always had some tool to help control my wayward hair.
These were my first pair of GHD's. I chose these rather than the originals as I have thick long hair which these are perfect for with their wide plates which cover more surface area of the hair, cutting down styling time. That was 5 years ago and they provided me with 2 years of excellent service. That is until I failed to pack them away properly. Instead I left them on the heat mat in front of my full length mirrored wardrobe. My lovely boyfriend accidently crushed them with his huge feet and I was left quite literally bereft.
I tried to cope without my beloved ghd's but I couldn't do it and quite willingly bought a second set for just under £100. These were almost identical to the first with the same wide plates, speedy heat up time and smooth, floating ceramic plates but ghd has cleverly added some extras:
* The iron will beep when it has reached its desired temperature.
* The shape is less square enabling users to use the irons for creating curls by wrapping hair around the plates just like GHD's slimmer versions.
* The iron now has a sleep mode which is activated after 30 minutes of inactivity. This cools the irons down and a warning beep is sounded every twenty seconds.
* The iron now has universal voltage meaning that you are able to use the styler abroad with adapters.
I use my ghd's mainly for straightening my hair and it does the job perfectly. I have tried to curl my hair with them on occasion but in my opinion this is easier to do with the slim versions and you will probably get a better result. For those that are interested in learning how to create different curls and styles using their ghd's, Google ' ghd curls' for online tutorials or see the official ghd website.
My only issue is not with the actual product but with the amount of counterfeit versions available online or 'off the back of a lorry'. Buyers beware, if it seems too good to be true it probably is. One way to be sure you are not buying fake ghd's is to buy from an authorised stockist, a list of which is published on the GHD website.
When buying a second-hand set, ask to see the hologram code on the label attached to the power lead. You can verify authenticity by entering this number on the ghd website under the section 'product registration'.
Overall, this is a fantastic product and I would recommend to everyone. I do not know anyone that has bought a set and been disappointed. To the contrary, I know dozens of people who have a set and could not be without them now... like me.
These are expensive, I bought mine for about £100 about five years ago, but they really are worth it. I have long, fine hair which is layered and a fringe and the GHDs work well on all of it. I use my GHDs most of the time (although I sometimes don't bother if I'm at work or uni), especially on my fringe. To get hair really straight, it's best to seperate your hair into sections, use some heat-protection spray and slowly straighten it. It always gives great results; a nice shine and very straight hair which will stay this way for a long time and even if it's windy or lightly raining outside. So, I don't need to use hairspray. You can creating waves/curls by twisting it/your hair while you are straightening it but I've never gotten great results doing this.
It's very simple to use and has a little red light which blinks when it's hot enough to use. It's a long lasting product and still works just as well as it did when it was brand new. It does get really hot so, obviously, you have to be careful with it. The only real problem I have with it is that it doesn't work in America, I go over about once a year and I have an American pair of straighteners (not GHD) that I bought which I have to use instead.
Overall, a really great product that's worth the money and does exactly what it promises to do. I've reccomended this to friends who've bought it and been really happy with it.
Use - 5/5.
Value for money - 5/5.
Design - 5/5.
Hello GHDS
I have now had these straightners for 6 years and they are still going strong! I have had probably six other heair straightners before buying these all leaving my hair dry and kinky not a good look. My cousin suggest I pay out the £120 for these which I thought a little steep but wow - she was right this is exactly what I needed.
My hair is thick. long and curly it is a hairdressers nightmare and takes over an hour to blowdry! straightening my hair is not something I do too regularly as it does take time, however not as long as it used too (11/2 hours down to 30mins not bad). The head on these are slightly wider than the normal ghd's therfore I am able to do it in about 30mins. The finish is always perfect leaving me with shiny, straight sleep hair which last about 4days before needing to be washed again.
I use the straightening protect spray from ghd which is a must, I have had my bottle about 2 years and it seems to go on forver as a little bit goes along way. I love my hair and take good care of it and I feel these hair straightners are not doing it too much damage. Hot plates on any hair are going to damage it however you want to look at it.
If these hair straigtners were to go worng as I am sure one day they will, I will ost definately save up for another pair as they have been life changing for me. I now have a choice how to wear my hair and I would definately suggest to anyone to get these straightners over any other make. I know all the girls in my family have a pair now and even my mother loves them and wouldn't have anything else.
I personally do not feel there are any disadvantages to this product, the price is fair as they go one forever, if going abroad to America there is an adapter you need which I didnt have and therefore could not use them.
I have given them a 5* as they have chnaged my hair style life, I can not have my hair straight or curly which I could never do before. Thank you GHD!!
I have used GHD hairstraighteners for the past 5 or 6 years.
I was drawn in by their good reputation and high promises, and for a retail price of £80 - 100 plus, I was hoping that they lived up to their name.
I was not disappointed, and I am now on my third lot of GHDs.
GHD hair straighteners leave your hair poker straight and silky soft, with relatively little effort. If they had been invented 10 years earlier I would have been a much happier teenager!
They heat up super quick, in approximately 10 - 15 seconds, a little longer than claimed, but who can moan about waiting 15 seconds for something to heat up to 230c!
They beep when you switch them on, then beep again when they are up to their optimum temperature. From then on you can use the straighteners to great effect.
My hair is quite long, and it takes me all of ten minutes to straighten my hair with these straighteners, and so long as I do it thoroughly, it stays straight all day (so long as the dreaded rain doesn't get me!).
One bad thing about GHDs is that in my experience they tend to have a fairly short life span. As I said I have been using GHDs for about 5 - 6 years, and I am on my third pair. That said, they seem to last about two years before they either die completely, or do not straighten as well as they once did.
So in conclusion, they are the best on the market, but I do feel because of their seemingly short life spans, they should not be as expensive as they are. I think the price tag is due to very clever marketing, rather than pure quality of the product.
In the past when my GHDs have failed me, I have used my friend's Remington straighteners, and being honest, as much as I love GHD and am loyal to them, they did pretty much the same job and straightened my hair perfectly fine, and cost my friend a mere £30.
ghd hair straighteners are the best hair straighteners EVER. Fact. I have had some shoddy hair straighteners in my time; I have tried 11 different types to be exact. And none, absolutely none even compare to the ghd's.
I bought my ghd's back in 2005. As I write this review, it is 2011 and they are still going strong. That's six years of amazingly straight hair. I bought the extra wide ones as I have lots and lots of hair that is quite thick, for £120. I do believe that they go for about the same price today.
They are so simple to use. Just one switch; on/off. They heat up to 230 degrees in about thirty seconds, although I understand that ghd have had to lower the temperature to around the 160- 170 mark.
The smooth plates of the ghd's glide through your hair, and don't catch or snag as many other hair straighteners do. I section my hair and only need to straighten each area once for smooth, silky results. The results last all day, and even through to the following morning. I think these straighteners also have helped with tangliness, as my hair seems tangle- free and smoother.
The only piece of advice I would give is to make sure you always use a heat defence spray as ghd's get very, very hot and do damage your hair.
Highly recommended, if mine ever broke I'd cry!
These straighteners are fab! They heat up quickly and the cord is extra long so you don't find yourself getting all tanged up and in a mess. They look really posh and stylish in their black and gold colours and they come boxed in official GHD packaging.
I purchased these off the official GHD website so I knew that they weren't fake. The irons smooth the hair quickly and easily without knotting your hair or ripping it. The irons are suitable for dry hair but I also use mine on partly dried hair and they work well to dry and straighten my hair at the same time.
The irons heat up quickly so you don't have to wait around for ages for them to heat up. They also cool down quickly but I suggest that you buy a heat proof mat to rest them on as they do get pretty hot and you don't want them to burn your carpet!
I get great results from these irons. I have really thick hair and these somehow manage to tame it without making it frizzy. The results I get from the irons last all day and my hair feels really soft and smooth after using these. They are also really strong and durable and you can tell that they are of excellent quality.
I am pretty certain that these irons will last for years and they are the only irons that manage to tame my thick hair.
I first discovered GHD's at the hair salon when I was 16. At that time I had a horrid perm and wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible and decided to try and have it cut out! My hair stylist decided that rather than cut the perm out, she would re-style my hair and show me how to use GHD hair straighteners (I have previously had bad experience with metal plated hair straighteners!)
I found these so easy to use! With my hair being in quite bad condition, she recommended I used the GHD hair oil or straightening serum at the same time to protect it. I have never been happier than using these hair straighteners. And no matter what the length of my hair, I have a pair that fits the length. I started with the large size, moved to the middle size, and now have short hair so have a pair of the thinnest ones.
They always leave my hair in good condition and silky smooth without frizzing the ends.
Ok so these straighteners are DEFINATELY for those with thick hair,they are very hot and make your hair go from frizzy to straight in seconds. The only thing I would say is that if you have shoulder length hair or shorter then this product isnt for you. The styler is too wide for short hair you need a much thinner styler. My hair was shoulder length and it was quite difficult to use this styler because of the width. Now my hair has gone abit longer they are great! Better for the length of your hair rather than the layers though again because of the width. So overall, if you have long thick hair these are perfect, but for short choppy layered styles I'd choose the thinner ghds'. However definately stick with ghds they are the highest quality you can get in my opinion. But just as a tip use heat protection at all times as these do make your hair dry and damaged if you use them everyday without protection.
Roll back to 2005, I was 20 and working hard earning a good bit of money, and decided I was going to treat myself to a visit to the hairdressers... The usual happened (cut etc) and then she asked if I'd like her to use GHD's? Well I'd heard of them, they were expensive hair straighteners was all I knew but I thought hey ho its a treat and agreed. For the next few hours I felt like a godess after leaving that salon! My hair can only be described, in the politest way, as that of Sideshow Bob's long lost sister (if you have no idea who he is then I suggest you watch The Simpsons!). I have, and always have had, frizzy curly massive hair and lots of it! When she used the GHD's it was like having new hair - I got compliments all day! So roll forward a few months to the run up to Christmas and Daddy dearest asks what I'd like.... I took a gamble and asked him for GHD's. He had no idea and enlisted the help of his partner to buy me a pair!
So what are they and how do they work?
GHD's are, quite simply, hair straighteners! I own the original (they were brought in 2005!) wide plated Salon Stylers. They came boxed in a long box with GHD emblozoned all over it and sat inside there they were, complete with some hair grips for use during styling. They were, without a doubt, the most beautiful thing I had ever seen! Black, with gold plates and a simple little 'ghd, hairstyling iron with ceramic technology' stamped on the underside of each plate they look so simple its misleading. As you can see from the picture above they are the typical design of a hair straightener and at the plate end they have a peice of the plastic each side that juts out, you use this to hold them together tighter if you wish without burning your fingers. They have one simple switch on the inside which you just slide to on or off, and an led light that lights up red when you switch them on and flashes when maximum temperature is reached. On the other inside strip is some product information and a hallmark and code for authenticity. Mine are a genuine pair, I have had this verified by ghd themselves.
To use them you simply plug in, flick the switch to on and await the light to flash to let you know they have heated up fully. You then get your section of hair, by hand or brush, and run the straighteners down the hair from root(ish!) to tip and repeat until you hair is straight.
GHD's, as they say on them, use ceramic technology which, I beleive, is because it glides through the hair in the best and easiet way whilst still giving maximum performance - straight hair! Now I have used so many different straighteners over the years it is unreal, and GHD's are the only pair that do glide through my hair without any snagging feeling, like my hair has been caught or is being pulled roughly. They heat to 210 degrees which is very, very hot but is excellent in achieving the results I desire. Take care when using them as they do make your hair extremely hot to touch, but a little bit of common sense here and you wont get hurt. And most obviously, never touch the plates!
Where can you get them and how much?
Back when I asked for these as a gift they were only available in selected salons and online from GHD themselves. My Dad brought mine direct from GHD online, and I remember on Christmas day his delight at just how happy I was, as he'd paid 'a fortune' in his own words! They were, back then, a hefty £149 plus P&P, but I believe that these days they are as low as £99 for the newer models and are available in salons and online still, as well as with lots of different online retailers. However, there are A LOT of fakes out there and I would urge anyone to ensure they are buying a genuine pair by checking the unique hologram code that is on every single authentic pair with GHD, via their website. I have done this myself just to be sure!
As mentioned before I have the wide plate version (and an old pair at that!). You can get pink ones, purple ones and even white ones, thin or thick. However as I have only had the one pair this is the only pair I can review.
So are they are great as all the hype?
Well as I mentioned before, my hair is evil! My straighteners I owned before I was brought my GHD's were a hefty £70 and did nothing for my hair - it used to take me around an hour to straighten all my hair and it was a lot shorter then than it is now and I would have to section all my hair to ensure each peice was straight. So Christmas day I open up my GHD's and instantly dive in the shower, blow dry my hair and get ready to try them out. I plugged them in, waited for the flashy light (not long at all, I'd say a minute or two to reach full temperature) and off I went. I had sectioned my hair ready for what I expected to be just as long a process as normal. Within 15 minutes I was done!! I had lovely sleek, straight hair and most of the time was taken up with taking the clips out of each section! I was very, very impressed. My whole family commented on how lovely my hair looked, my dad even said I looked like I'd been back to the salon. They have a super long cord meaning you dont have to move a mirror to near a plug socket, I can plug these in outside my bathroom and still have enough flex to use them without any taughtness.
Fast forward 5 and a half years.... I am STILL using the same pair of straighteners as I first used on the Christmas day back in 2005! And they still provide exactly the same excellent performance. In fact, a lot of people dont actually know that my hair isnt naturally straight and are shocked when they first see my Sideshow Bob look (which is rarely outed for public viewing I might add!!). I rarely need to redo my hair with them, they keep my hair straight all day and I only ever go back over it if I'm off out for an occasion, but other than that, one quick do in the morning and I'm done for the day. I rarely experience any static from using them, infact the only time is when I've dyed my hair (I have no idea why this happens?!). I have also been naughty and used them directly onto wet hair. Now be careful if you do this as it creates a lot of steam, but also is damaging for your hair! My hair is hardly damaged from using straighteners, and I use mine daily, unlike other pairs I have used as I do not get the snagging with my GHD's.
I will add here that you can apparently do other things like curl your hair with these, I'm afraid I have never attempted this, I'm no hairdresser, so really couldnt rate this aspect of using them. They are rounded on the sides to allow this use and if you are able to give it a go and master it then I would recommend you try.
So I'm sure you're thinking something must of gone wrong with them at some stage? After all don't most people moan they break easily? Well I have dropped my pair more times than I care to remember and they have not once cracked or shown any sign of this. I have had only one issue with them - they suddenly refused to stay on. They would switch on and keep flicking off. A quick wiggle of the power cord and I realised the issue was in the cord where its joins into the actual straightener. I was gutted, but I knew there had to be an answer somewhere. So off I popped to the computer, ran a search and discovered it was a common fault. Unfortunately most people write their GHD's off at this point but I was cleverer than that. I found I could purchase a new wire from GHD themselves for £12 including delivery. I found a video on youtube that explained exactly how to change the wire over. When the wire arrived I followed the steps on the video, plugged them in and viola!!! They worked again. Clever me!
I have had friends who have brought 3 or 4 pairs of these all because they've stood on them and they've snapped or they have experienced the same issue with the cord. I would suggest to anyone that has any problems to contact GHD and see what they suggest as quite often they are still under their 2 year guarantee (yes as standard!) or they are repairable. My pair have moved house numerous times, been dropped/pulled down by my kids (when off I must add), live in the bathroom where its wet, have been uysed abroad for a year and by nearly all of my friends and they are still going strong. They require very little maintainence, just a wipe with a damp cloth around the edges to remove and sticky bits from running over your hair with products in.
For £149 my Dad was expecting them to straighten my hair themselves, but even he has to admit, 5 and a half years and almost daily use and you cant complain, they are a perfect investment for anyone who wants to look after their hair. I couldn't rate GHD's any higher if I tried, and mine are most certainly my most prized possession! 5 wholey deserved stars!
