Problems with BaByliss Straightners

NEH

Bought mum the Elegance straighteners for Xmas though when we tried to use them, the outside gets so hot you can't go near your hair..

Can anyone recommend some straightners that don't get really really hot on the outside? my centuries old GHD's don't but the budget is up to £50 so that rules them out.....

Well that's the thing i don't know if they're supposed to be cool on the outside...Maybe this design isn't mean't to be cool on the outside. Can't think of the technical term sorry

My hairdresser swears by ice diamond hair straighteners, slim like ghd, available in different colours about £60

they should not be too hot to handle, No way - take them back - they wouldn't comply with H&S guidlines if u would burn urself on the outside of them.

2nd lot just as bad, so it's either a whle batch is faulty or that's the way BaByliss are....

Off to look at the Boots website to find some other ones now...
