Better than GHDs - with a 3 year guarantee I will never go back!

Advantages: Good looking product, Great straight hair which lasts!
Disadvantages: Less sturdy feel, the writing on them came off, Handle gets quite warm

I bought these straighteners on deal in Tesco for about £40 a few months ago before my GHDs broke (Embarassing - I trod on them and they fell to pieces, but I couldn't claim on insurance or send them off for a new one as it was obvious it wasn't normal wear and tear) They got put in the cupboard as some 'just in case' straighteners or for travelling, as the three women in the house shared one pair of GHDs The straighteners themselves: Admittedly, ...
...price I wasn't really complaining. They come in a lovely heatproof pouch which is very useful! The handle gets quite warm if you leave them plugged in the socket (but switched off on the handle) There are good quality plates and the cable is definitely long enough!! Straightening my hair: My hair is naturally very wavy and messy - these straighteners are great at sorting it out! I use protection spray on my hair every time with them on the hottest ...

Review of Remington S 8150 WET 2 Straight & GO

Value for Money

Straightening

Ease of Use

Indestructible straighteners?!

Advantages: Quickly heat up, perfect styling.
Disadvantages: Easy to accidentally knock them off, as button is right by the thumb

I have owned these straighteners for over 2 years now and have used them almost everyday without problem and they out-perform every other pair I've owned. They are perfect for a number of different styles, including flicks, poker straight and curly! I have very thick hair and these actually do a better job at straightening it than my friends GHD's, and at half the price! There are 10 temperature settings, up to 230 degrees, which can suit any hair ...
...is a total straightening amateur can use them to create a lovely straight style! They heat up in under 2 minutes and come with a heat proof mat and hair clips to section off your hair. The cord is 2m long, which is great for moving around! This product, in my opinion, is the best pair of straighteners you can find! ...

Review of GHD Salon Styler

Value for Money

straightners

Advantages: resonably priced, straightened well in 1st month
Disadvantages: burned fingers and face, didnt last very long

i brought these straighteners around 4 months ago and at first i loved them they straightened my hair and kept it straight for several days, i was very impressed and even brought a pair for my mum. at the time they cost me approximatley £70 which i though was reasonable as they claimed tto be as good a ghds who are obviously considerably more. they came with a free heat proof matt, and well as straightening hair care products. unfortunalty after ...
...hold the straightners getting very hot and in fact burning my fingers and face. furthermore the heatproof mat was starting to get wrecked with that also covered in burn marks. i still have mine but no longer used them as i brought a different pair, however my mums only lasted a few months before they completly packed in, i would deffinatley not reccomend. ...
