They do the job but there are better buys

Advantages: Heats to 210
Disadvantages: Not quick to heat up, flimsy

My old straighteners broke and I couldn't afford a pair of GHD's at the time so on the recommendation of a friend I tried these which were on the shelf at Woolworths. At £30 they were a lot cheaper than GHD's or other salon stylers. My hair is mid length and slightly wavy. Due to the texture it's not easy to straighten and I need the higher heat settings to get a successful result. At the time of purchase these straighteners were some of the hottest ...
...around the 180-200 degrees maximum temperature. Out of the packet they looked cheap and felt a bit flimsy. There are a number of different heat settings and an LED display to indicate when they have reached temperature. The control buttons are located on the side of the handle and I found that I was always switching them off by accident. The handles are relatively wide and I found them quite awkward to hold. It was quite a surprise to find that ...

yuko straightening system

Advantages: great, silky straight hair
Disadvantages: no more GHDs or blowdryer

Hi I had Yuko done on my hair 7 months ago. It is fantastic. I had tried other types of straightening before this and it is not the same at all. I had hair breakage from previous thermal straightening, which is why I decided to try Yuko. My hair is so easy to manage. I have about an inch or so of re-growth. price is reasonable too, but I suppose you also have to put yourself in the position of the hair technician doing it - it isn't something that ...

Remmington Wet 2 straight- great results saves time

Advantages: Qick and easy
Disadvantages: Wide and short

I have owned these straighteners for ages (think about 2 years) and I love them. They have a wide straighening plate although it is quite short in lenght. They heat up fairly quickly and don't cool down much during use. These straighteners are really simple to use, just wash your hair as normal, pat dry with a towel to remove excess water, apply any product and off you go. I was terrified that I would get this synging smell as it worked but it ...
...Mine came in a heat resistant bag with a couple of clips to make seperating easier. I have quite long hair and ten minutes and it has made a great job. I the drawback I have found with this product is doing the roots holding the wide straighteners on long enough to dry and straighten means it gets pretty hot - I tend to give the roots a quick blast with the hair drier before I start so this isn't an issue. The straighteners work just as well on ...
