    Hi Tia
    I have not seen any of the tv ads, but there is a 'tv video' on the Babyliss site ... maybe this is the one? http://www.babyliss.co.uk/straighteners_2034u.html

    This is the Pro 230 radiance, which is over £80 on amazon. See it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-Pro-230-Radiance-Straightener/dp/B001CBWAU4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1224192414&sr=8-6 Being a man, I can't see a lot of difference between this pro 230 and other pro 230 apart from its colour! No doubt there is more to it than that!
    I have gained from advice as well as bargains here, so if I can help in any way, I am only too pleased to do so and appreciate your thanks.

    I'm slightly confused here. Are the ones in Argos @ £29.?? the ones which are good, as good as GHDs? I want to get some for my DD2, DD1 recently bought herself some pink GHDs but they cost her a whopping £120 but I have to admit they are really good. I don't really want to pay £100+ if I can get something just as good for £29.

    The very first link for the BaByliss 2085U Pro 230°C Straighteners is £29.49 at amazon and Argos and £26.44 at Currys if you are willing to get a price match (against the argos price, because currys dont price match amazon goods). This is the one that 59 reviewers on amazon give 5* and have often moved from GHDs to the Babyliss one. MrsTom also recommends them earlier in this thread.

    I've got very thick wavy hair, I've had the GHD's and when they broke I bought the babyliss 230's, in my opinion the Babyliss ar equally as good
