    I think starighteners have come on loads in the last couple of years - they are nearly all 200 degrees or more now. I have some remington ones that are great.
  • You cannot beat GHD's although at a third of the price, may be worth trying....Girls- what did we do before GHD's? It's frightening......lol
    I totally agree ,have tried loads of other brands, but nothing beats the power of the GHDs.;)

    My sister hit the nail on the head tonight whilst disgussing our GHD's.... they were some pretty ugly people around before GHDs!!!

    Ugliness is more about attitude than having straight hair :)
    Can I help?
  • I'd agree that GHD straighteners are up there with the best. I had a pair that broke last week and have taken a gamble with a low cost alternative due to lack of funds.

    Works fine on my hair but my hair is not particularly thick. The GHD's are undoubtedly better but at a fraction of the price I think the above straighteners give decent results.

    Just purchased a pair of Babyliss pro 230 tourmaline hair straighteners from Wilkinsons for £27.95. Great value. Done a brill job on my hair - which is thick and curly and my hairdresser loves it! Anyway it now looks much the same as when I come out of the hairdressers! Not tried any GHD but these are the best I've used. I'd recommend them.

    Noticed they'd got some in Boots and Argos for around £60.00 - but I think they have a bit longer plates.
  • ooooh....but just think what 200 degrees + is doing to your hair!

    (Lol...don't get me wrong...I have straightners too....just amazed at people who use them everyday...hair must be fried!)

    Just a tip..this probably isn't the right place, but if you use a tiny tiny amount of coconut oil, just on the ends after you've washed your hair, it'll do it the world of good. Don't go and straighten your hair after though lol

    laurajayne - I know exactly what you mean ... it mustn't do the hair any good. Mind you the worse condition mine is in the curlier it becomes!

    Thanks for the tip about coconut oil ...
