    Err hang on Mr Mod...I wasn't asking about GHD straighteners specifically, I want advice about other straighteners too! You have merged my thread with a GHD thread meaning I'm NOT going to get the other advice i'm after!

    Thats like me asking about supermarkets and my thread being merged with a Tesco thread!

    I must say to everyone wanting to spend loads of money on GHD straighteners.... don't!

    After years of trying to find the 'best' ones without going for expensive GHD I finally settled on these (http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-2085U-Pro-230%C2%B0C-Straighteners/dp/B000BFN80I/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1206052525&sr=8-2)

    Just read the reviews, 'better than GHD's!' and I have to agree. So I recommend the Babyliss ones to ANYONE who want GHD quality for cheaper :)

    BABYLISS 2085U PRO 230o CERAMIC HAIR STRAIGHTENERS

    Off ebay cost £23.98 delivered for my wife and daughter as the ghds just decided to stop working.They arrived the next day and both of them agree they are far far better than ghd's so my advice to anyone is to buy these and save yourself a packet as I did.



    Please note that there are lots of babyliss straightners on the highstreet and most are useless or worse from reviews I have read but the model I purchased really are top quality.


    If none avalible on ebay my daughter said she thinks Tesco have them for around £35 still cheap but £11 dearer than ours.

    I hope this is of some use to someone.


    Just to second the above post by GemmaC25 about the Babyliss 2085u straightners as you can see from my post some weeks back they are a far better option.So don't overspend on GHD'S

    has anyone brought ghds from mobileblue.com or hairlustre.com and if so were they ok and was there any hidden costs
    The average woman would rather have beauty than brains,
    because the average man can see better than he can think.

    Many people's view of the world is down to their experience, perception and what they have been conditioned to,this isnt any old MSE reply this is a important and experienced MSE reply :rotfl:

    These are available & on offer too from Boots too so you get points & great peace of mind. Check the ACM machine for additional points too.

    I think if you want to straighten your hair from wet you have to get ones which specifically do this, I know I have see 'From Wet 2 Dry' or something like that amongst the hair straightener's in Boots.
    I'm no expert though, I don't know if you can use any straightener's on wet hair or not, I usually don't as it's supposed to damage your hair. I use Babyliss' hairdryer which straightens your hair with the special attachment, that's really good too.
