Ceramic straighteners (so men need not read this lol)

[jellygirl]

You lot were right! I bought some ceramic straighteners for £70 and they are so much better than ordinary straighteners. My hair has kept straight for three days, now I'm gonna go wash it and straighten it again! They are brilliant! :thumb:

[noog]

are you talking about ghd (good hair day) per chance?

I also bought a pair and they are so good, :D

*runs fingers through lovely hair*

[fugue]

you spent 70 on a straightener?!

[jellygirl]

Yeh, my money I worked for, better than spending it on alcohol, at least this straightener is gonna last. Also thats cheap, GHD straighteners are usually £90 - £100.

[fugue]

i spose it might not be that much for you, but since your money is worth like 3 time what mine is it just seemed like heaps. I mean i spent $159 on mine, and it's the top of the range, so i spose that's no more than you.

i'm glad it's going well for you! my damn hair is so think it takes ages to straighten my hair, so i don't do it often *sighs*

No they aren't, I got mine for £50 from my hairdresser. He still has them for £50 in his shop now!

[SuzyCreamcheese]

and havent most of the GHD straighteners sold in the last year been recalled? Im sure i heard something about that. It was on watchdog, something about them catching fire.

[SuzyCreamcheese]

btw, I have the hairtools ones, they were £35 and fab!

[lucifer devil]

it depends on your hair type, for some people, the cheaper ones will work a treat.

my ghd's cost £90. worth every penny. i feel sorry for my hair though :p

i just got some off ebay for £30 and wondered how they compared to others...

i got my hair ghd straightened after it was cut on friday, and it looked SO nice.

Yeh it was on Watchdog, but out of everyone I know that owns a pair (which is a hell of a lot of people!) no one's had a problem with theirs!

My mum bought me some GHD's for my birthday, so I don't have to steal hers now :D

I love mine. :)
Ive never tried GHDs so dont know if theyre as good, but the hairtools make my hair lovely and straight. They have different heat settings for different types of hair, and i always use it on the highest one. Theyre a third of the price of GHDs though, so thats got to be good.

mine caught on fire. in the middle of doing my wig. brought them back and got new ones. well dodge.

[Ilora-Danon]

My first pair of GHD's melted. The on/off switch melted to the Off position, and started smoking.. so I took them back and was given a new pair. No probs with my new ones, as of yet :)
(I paid £90)

my hair straightenrs quite easily so the babyliss ones i bought for £40 of the net work a treat, they are really so good!!

[Olive]

hairtools. £30. ebay. :heart:


these little things have revolutionised my life.

ok, i exaggerate, but they are very good.

[rachie004]

mine are the babyliss steamy ones.. i lurve them but ive kinda gone off my hair at the mo.. dont love it no more.. its looking ginger-ish.. stoopid winter time and it never goes right (without the straightners.. dont have time on a monday and thursday cos im in college at 9 so it always ends up in piink tails.. i paid 30-ish for them


and i apologise for bad typing am trying to eat a magnum

love, love my ghds. Although can I ask what styling products you ladies use with them. I know you can get the ghd hair oil but I heard that it can make your hair sticky if its fine. Do have the protection mist from the Lee Stafford Poker Straight range but I don't like the smell.

[jacaranda]

I'm pleased to hear someone is happy

[dominatrix]

I don't have GHDs, I have the Babyliss ones that are basically the same, only they're about 35 quid. They were great at first, but I think my hair's getting used to them now, or something :( Sure it straightens it... but it leaves the goddamn ends flicked under/out :mad:

But back to the point, I use Charles Worthington straightening spray, and also a Umberto Giannini wax stick thing which gives a kinda bedhead look and smells gooooorgeous.

ghd do a new protection spary to use with them, it's not at all sticky like the serum they did before.

yep, use the spray stuff. its lush. love my ghd's!!

Ok so I have really thick hair that is naturally curly tho i don't wear it curly or ever define my curls proper! I I want some straighteners that work. I had it straightened at my hairdressers who said i should only get it done professionally. I thought this was a crafty way of making money.

I got some nicky clarke straighteners on offer on hol (£15 from £30) but they didn't work. So anyone with very bushy hair...GHD best?

[lucifer devil]

GHD all the way :yeees:

[paperBprincess]

wouldnt be able to live withpout my ghds
