Best straighteners?

Can someone recommend straighteners for thick, wavy hair?

Not sure about thick hair bit, but I have a set of FHI's and try are great, better than GHDs x

Thanks, I got put off ghds when my last set exploded for no known reason when they were just out of warranty!

They normally sill fix them GlasweJen, they fixed my mums and hers were at least 2 years old!

I'd say the thick plated GHDS, for thick wavy hair. Never had any as good, although Cloud 9 are supposed to decent.

I don't want the same again, they literally had a blue bolt of electricity come through them and when I googled others had the same problem, I don't want to risk electrocuting myself.

I use Cloud Nine & find them very good.

I'm not convinced you have to spend £100 on GHDs to get straight hair. You simply need straighteners that get hot and have really smooth surfaces. Two that I've used recently that both work on my wavy, thick hair are Remington 230 and Wet2Straight (I use them like normal straighteners on dry hair). They come in at around £20/£30.

Combine them with John Frieda 3-Day Straight and a bit of the Frizz East serum and you will have lovely straight, shiny hair.

My ghds died couple months back, my dad had repaired them once where the cables were exposed going into the straightener. I didnt think ghd would repair them cos of this so looked for another set. I couldnt afford ghds again unfortunately, but got some lee stafford poker straight ones off ebay and theyre just as good-plus theyre hot pink and sooooo pretty! Id def look at wide plate ones whatever you go for, makes life so much easier, until i had my hair cut short, even ghds used to take a while to straighten my thick hair. X

I've got thick wavy hair and I've got some Babyliss ones that heat up to 230, they're fab!

My mate has long wavy hair and she says that A) you need a good 'pre-product' and the hotter the plates get, the better. So I'd buy on the basis of the temperature.
