I purchased a GHD Straightener from http://www.leonbrant.com.au, how can I check if my straightener is real and original?

Here are the tips to identify if the GHD Straightener you purchased is genuine or fake. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

-quote- "- Buy from a respected retailer – Products sold from overseas or auction sites are frequently counterfeit. There is no accountability and these companies or individuals do not need to answer to Trading Standards. Buy GHD hair straighteners only from a reputable merchant located in your home country.

- Visit the official GHD website – Once you receive your GHD straighteners, register your product online to active the two-year warranty. Fake serial numbers will be rejected by the system. - Authentic GHD packaging – Genuine GHD IV hair straighteners come with a serial numbered product, instruction booklet and power adapter.

- Official GHD holograms – Look for holograms on the tag (attached to the cord) and on the straightener’s inner body. The serial numbers should match and be verified on the official GHD website. - Metal hinge pins – Authentic GHD hair straighteners have metal hinge pins.

The pins should not be plastic; in fact, any appearance of a cheap plastic design should be taken as a warning sign. Real GHD straighteners are made well and do not “feel cheap”. - Check product features – If you have one of the special edition GHD straighteners like the limited edition GHD Pretty in Pink straightener set, match the items you receive with the items advertised by GHD.

Some counterfeit sets will omit smaller items in a set in an attempt to save money. - Check the price – Is the price too good to be true? As long as the GHD IV hair straightener remains popular, the prices will remain in the range of £80-£120." -end of quote.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
