I was bought these straighteners after my last pair literally blew up!! I have naturally curly hair so life without straighteners is just unimaginable!!

They look very stylish and the colour makes them look just like the description Pro Elegance, but they feel very plastic like when you pick them up and they are very light (one feature that is useful when you have to spend an hour with your hands above your head so to speak).

They come complete with a heat protective mat, case and hair clips again all in the bronze colour, these are useful tools.

They have three different heat settings but the dots rubbed off after a few uses so I now have no idea which is which so I often end up burning my hair as I accidently put it on the wrong setting, mmm whats that smell!!!!

They have a reasonable cable length which most don't and a swivel function on the cable which allows a little more freedom.

One disturbing feature I found and not sure if its just a problem with mine is that you can switch the straighteners off via a switch on the barrel, safe (you would expect so) but I found that if I leave them plugged in at the mains (switched off on the barrel) the barrel gets very hot (don't want to be the one explaining to the fire brigade what burnt my house down), so I take great care to ensure that I unplug mine every time I use them.

They do however on the plus side straighten hair very well, but I have had better straighteners and I'm not sure that they should be in the higher price bracket, me thinks you are paying mainly for looks!!

I bought my daughter a well known shops own make at christmas for £20 and they feel and do a better job than these, spend your money more wisely!!
