Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women Disadvantages: None
After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair.
When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well.
After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners.
They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor ...
Advantages: Quick to heat up, Excellent results, Easy to use, Time-saving Disadvantages: Cost, Extremely hot, Only one setting
straightener from my experience, and if you frequently straighten your hair then it's more of an investment!
Another negative point is that (quite obviously) they're very hot - but they do get hotter than most, so it's good practice to use the heatproof mat just in case, and keep an eye on them. They do have the potential to burn/damage the hair, so it's probably worth using a protective serum in addition to the hair straighteners.
Also, on the 'heat' point, it's worth noting that there are only two settings - on and off! Some hair straighteners have various levels of temperature, such as 1, 2, 3... these just have one high-heat setting. I find it fine for my hair, but it's worth bearing in mind if you generally like to use different settings when straightening your hair!
The only other negative I can think of is that I and some friends ...
Advantages: orgnic plant based ingredients. Results. Disadvantages: Initial outlay for the range
I have been using Aveda haircare products for a long time. I first discovered them in Los Angeles whilst visiting friends. Their Bathroom was like an Aveda Store, which gave me the advantage of trying most of the range without having to buy any products.
I love it, what can I say... It has a fresh natural smell made up from the various Organic herbs and plant extracts in it. But what is even better is that it works, and in a non drying way as many detox shampoos do.
I use this once or twice week before using other products from the Aveda range. It is and should be used as a pre-wash. ie. before your regular shampoo or hair treatment.
If you get exposed to enviromental pollution and lets face it who does'nt these days? This shampoo is for you. It takes out all the cigerette smoke, smog, pollen, hair styling products etc out ...
