    hi
    I got these ones last week £24.99 and they are great I have very thick
    curly hair and my saks ones broke, was pass myself since all I have done
    for years is rough dried my hair then used my straighteners, the thought
    of blow drying it what a nightmare since it takes a good 40mins of hard
    work.
    I would give these 10/10 and they are cheaper then ghd

  • Hi All

    What temperature do ghd straighteners heat up to? Anyone know? Only my 14yr old wants pink ghd's for her birthday in two weeks and after seeing the price and picking myself up off the floor, I found a pink pair of Hairart straighteners for £49.95!!! and it says they are professional and heat up to 210 degrees???!!! Anyone had any experience with these. :confused: Cos of course if these are not as good as GHD's I'll have it in the neck from the teenage torturer!

    Cheers

    GHD's heat up to 210 degrees. I bought some GHS straightners off ebay a while ago for about £40 they are just as good as GHD's,might be worth having a look on there.
    Money, money, money, must be funny....in a rich mans world.


  • I've spent £100's on hair straightners over the years trying to find decent ones. GHDs are expensive but nothing else comes anywhere near close - ever! Spend a bit more and you'll never look back!

    ^ same here

    i'v had GHD's for 18months and not only does it smoothly straighten my hair but it stays that way.

    i was forever getting waves and kinks re-appearing before GHD's
