OMG ingore the terrible spelling. Sorry
you can dry your hair out, and it creates split ends
don't do it!!!!! *shudders* you'll dry your hair out so much doing that, which means it'll end up looking straight but feeling like straw, and you'll get massive split ends. hair straighteners which are designed for going from wet to straight might be ok (although i have my doubts), but with a normal pair - and particularly with ceramic ones like ghds, all you'll do is damage your hair.
its like cooking your hair!!!!! it will just burn! give it a quick blast with the hair dryer, a small thing to do in order to keep your hair nice and healthy(ish). also use ghd straightening oil on your hair before you straighten it to protect it even more
yea, it basically just boils your hair shaft, which isnt good. imagine boiling a potato with the skin on, and how the skin starts to peel away, this is what happens to your hair, it will split, go dry and not look great. i dont even believe in those wet-to straight things. your hair should be bone dry and you should always use a heat protective product, and make sure you condition your hair if you use heated appliances regularly.
I use the Wet2Straight ones and find they are great. My hair holds the straightness amazingly well, even after washing it, which means it doesn't need straightening so much all the time. Not good if you only want straight hair occasionally, but brilliant if you want straight hair regularly.
I don't use them on dripping wet hair. I towel dry my hair a fair bit and leave it to dry naturally for a while with leave-in conditioner. Then I use some heat protecting spray before I straighten. I try and only straighten two or three times a week - my hair looks fine for the first two days and stays perfectly straight, and if it's not clean enough and I don't have time or can't be bothered to straighten it, I just wear it up.
These straighteners will work on wet or dry hair, and I have only had good experiences with them. Obviously you have to be careful not to straighten your hair too much, (every day is just stupid) and use something to protect it from the heat. But I had my hair cut two weeks ago for the first time since April and my hairdresser said I had hardly damaged my hair at all. Only really the ends, which she cut off anyway.
Just make sure you use a good-quality pair of straighteners, and only use them on wet hair if they are specifically designed for that. Also use deep conditioning treatments. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Superdrug do a really good coconut oil one - a big tub for £1.99. Sometimes if I have a weekend where I'm doing absolutely nothing, I'll rub some olive oil into my hair on the Friday night. It takes a few washes to get the grease out, but looks fine by Monday, and it really puts the moisture back into your hair. Also make sure you get a good hair cut every few months.

there are some stying products that are 'heat activated', you can spray them into your hair when it's wet or dry, but you have to use your dryer for them work... like if your hair is going a bit wavy at the tips you spray it in and then use your hair dryer and a brush to straighten it out.
I wouldn't straighten wet hair because of the fact that you might cause yourself damage (water and electricity = not a good combination!). Also, when i had my hair curled for my ball not so long ago, the hairdresser put this stuff on it to protect it and everytime she curled a strand it gave a nasty crackling sound which sounded like my hair was burning (it wasn't obviously) so that would be enough to put me off! Whatever you do before straightening your hair i would protect it. I use a tigi heat protecter which is great and smells really nice!
My hairdresser straightens my wet hair and it goes really horrible and dry.It cannot be good.I always take a hat when going to get my hair cut now(even though I often cut my hair myself,lol...I sometimes need it thinning out as I have thick hair...)....
Much rather stick with my trusty GHD's and just wash my hair the night before and then straighten the next morning.

It does a lot more damage to your hair. I used to do that. Not good. 
BECAUSE YOUR HAIR WILL BASICALLY FRY!

Everyone tels me you shouldnt do it. can someone tell me why not?
I have heard many things about it.
Apparently it is better becuase it only exposes your hair to one kind of heat and apparently lockes in a little more moisture. Doesnt really matter becuase something like 3% of hair fiber is moisture, its protien you need to give your hair.
EDIT: Sorry i thought you were talking about specialised wet-to-dry straighteners!!!
