but, like the previous poster said, they aint cheap
Also 'Herstyler' is a brill straightener...
I'm thinking of getting some of those or some nice remington ones I saw, decisions, decisions!
This is the Babyliss website, might help you. I keep visiting it, you know, looking at the straigteners, thinking shall I, shant I, like expecting the screen to give me some message saying 'these are the ones you need'!

me and my 11yr old daughter straighten our hair daily and she has highlights and they dont damage or weaken the hair at all.
with these straighteners we use them for :- my hair long with longer layers dyed.
my daughters:- just past her shoulders with shorter choppier layers and highlighted .
Yeah, this is what I am looking into. I have been told that the ceramic plates are the ones to get as they don't dry out of damage the hair, less frizz so I'm told! I'm looking for ones that heat up quickly so I can straigten and rush out the door. I'm also looking for the slimmest design as they are easier to manouver through the hair when lifting up sections. Also having a heat bag/stand to put them in when they are finished with is a bonus, so they don't burn anything when they are cooling down.
So many things to consider!
What products does everyone use on their hair before/when straightening? Mouse or serums etc, this has always confused me, do the straigteners stick to your hair if you use products?
i just use nicky clarke heat spray before i straighten then run a tiny bit of wax through once ive finished (i dont really like serum but everyones different
...a clothes iron on a silk setting, an ironing board, and a friend.
It really does work.
not just that but you never burn yourself using them as they have heat protecting covers around them! which are amazing.
I bought them from Costco last year for £25 plus VAT.
Definately these.
Just as good as GHD's in my opinion.
& only £39.99
Best straighteners I've had.
My friend has GHD's but Babyliss Pro 230 do the job just as good.
They use infared heat as well as the heat from the plates so you only need to go over once the IR heat makes your hair release oils leaving it feeling soft.
Cheap straighteners leave your hair feeling like burnt straw especially if its coloured or chemically treated.
