    Thanks everyone on replies ,,a great help indeed,,,,looked in Boots and some of these are half price,,,wowee!!
    just got to choose which one now,,, :think:

    the remington pearl sounded good too.. :)


    Try to hold out till they do their 1000 points evenings, a further £12 cash-back sounds better then the normal £2.00. I think there are three before Xmas, one is today, the next is mid november sometime.
  • I have Big Ego straighteners (used to be known as T3) which are even more expensive than GHD's and I love love love them, imo they're much better than GHD's. But last weekend I went on a hen weekend with friends and I forgot my straighteners, and my friend had the Babyliss red ones - well I was really impressed! They were actually really good and straightened my hair so well, I would definitely recommend them!

    Also - I've just bought the Babyliss red curling wand and that is amazing too, so Babyliss comes highly recommended by me :)

    I went to boots today and the SA said the 1000 points day is tomorrow and sat..so will go get strighteners tomorrow.. :)

    anyone got any views on the Remington pearl as they are on offer as well as the Babyliss (red ones).....and they do sound good but do you have to use the steam function on those?
    can't chose between these two so may have to toss a coin..thanks everyone! :D

    thanks,, :think:

    This problem had crossed my mind as well. I searched all the shops and in the end decided to buy a wig. Let me know your outcome Miacat. I'd be interested to know.

    Mia, i'm going in tomorrow for straighteners for my mum hopefully as it's their Christmas night, can I ask, did you find out whether you have to use the steam function and if you have used them already are they easy to use?
  • you don't need to use the steam option on them - it's optional but apparently 'sets' the style for longer (although i've never needed to i have used this setting previously and it's worked as well as without!) HTH x
