(+) Funky pattern, quick to heat up, adjustable temperature, slim, lighweight (-) Have to prise them away from mum when I want to use them in the morning
Advantages: Heat up very fast. Disadvantages: People assume they're not as good as GHD.
they are made to do, which is to straighten your hair, they do zap all of the moisture out of your hair at the same time. I am also not a big fan of the poker-straight look, it just looks limp and lifeless to me.
I misplaced my Remingtons2 weeks ago, unfortunatley just after my tutor had given me the most gorgeous hair cut that could only look good if worn straight. After a week of looking through various catalogues, trying to decide which straighteners to replace them with, (and straightening my new 'do' very quickly at college in the five minutes before my tutor arrives, because he said he would only cut it if I promised to straighten it!), also now with a considerably larger budget, and well able to afford GHD.

Cost

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature. Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.
I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free.
