Aldi hair straighteners

Apologies if already posted, but Aldi are selling hair straighteners for a bargain price of £7.99. These are heated up to 230 degrees, which is really really hot.....

    If they get up to 230 degrees they must be! GHDs, which get up to the same heat cost about 100 quid!

    Hi there,

    I have wanted a pair of GHD's for a long time no and currently borrow my Mums when I am going out.

    GHD's are fantastic and I have tried others that heat up to 230 but have not been any good at all and it smelt like my hair was burning.

    I saw the above post this morning and just been and purchased a pair as for £8 I thought it would be worth trying.

    I have to say these are very good. they do take about 5 minutes to heat up but straighten my hair as well as GHD do and no smell of burning hair.

    I am happy with my purchase and money saving:money: but I will update if this changes in any way:j

    My sister in law told me she has some straightners from Ethel Austin for a tenner that heat up to 230 !!! I'll pop to Aldi on my lunch tomorrow and see if they have any left.

    Thanks

    I got a pair today and apart from the time heating up they are as good as my (broken) GHD's :D
