Braun Ceramic PRO

Advantages: Straightens hair like an iron
Disadvantages: Can dry hair and cause damage

Around Christmas time of 2003 I first mentioned to my mother that I would like a set of hair straighteners as I was fed up of my hair being uncontrollable fly-away; ladies, I’m sure you know what it’s like when you want to look like a goddess with hair that could almost have been ironed flat but instead you get stuck with something that resembles a beehive and can’t be controlled no matter how hard you try with your heated brush or hair dryer.

Advantages: Cheap, effective
Disadvantages: Can damage hair

I must be the only person here who didn't get on with GHD's. However, this didn't stop me in my quest for the perfect straighteners.

...plates but the plates are really small and you nedd to section your hair off into layers and then into sections as the plates are quite long but very skinny, this means it takes longer to do.

E.G thick and wavy would be 17-25. ect. on/off switch and indicater light, it turns it on and off oviously and the light flashes red when the straighteners are not ... Read review
