I have been a user of the MK4 GHD for a month now and I have thoroughly enjoyed straightening my hair with this product.
With it's sleek design and rounded barrels you can easily create curls, flicks and waves for your hair, and the GHD ceramic plates have even better temperature regulation, giving stunning straightness, smoothness and shine to die for
Advantages:
* High Temperature - Alongside the ceramic plates, the new GHD's give you absolutely ... ...you ask for? The barrels protect you from burning hands, easy to use.Dependant on how straight you would like your hair, one stroke = slightly straighter, two strokes = very straight, three strokes = extremely straight/dead straight.
* Rounded barrels - This quality makes it extremely easy to create curls, flicks and waves. Two in one, straightener and curler. With this, you don't need to spend money on a curler because these GHD's all you could ...

Advantages: They heat up in 60 seconds and go up to 200 degrees celcius Disadvantages: No on/off switch
I got these straighteners with some christmas money at Boots and they are in excellent condition. They came with a 2 year guarantee, so I definatley know they are made to last. They leave my hair feeling silky smooth and straight without kinks, and I don't know what I'd do without them!
They heat up to 200 degrees in 60 seconds, which is great. It even comes with a heatproof mat which allows me to put them wherever I like, and it can even double ... ...about 5 mins to cool down aswell which is fab if you're in a rush. The ceramic plates are long which means that you can straighten even more hair at one time. Extra features include a 3m salon length swivel cable which is good if you want to stand in front of a mirror and the plug is far away. They are very lightweight and easy to hold, and there is an indication light to show when the straighteners are on or off.
You would think that the cheaper ...

Advantages: Fast heat up. Long cable. Heat proof matt included. Safe and user friendly. Disadvantages: Only one heat setting. No way to tell when 200degrees has been obtained.
...To conclude I would highly recommend these hair straighteners. They are an excellent product, especially for such a reasonable price. However if you are looking for something with more attachments, accessories or functions perhaps try a model such as Remington Digital Ceramic Straighteners but expect to pay more for them. ...

Advantages: Very reasonably priced compared to others on market Disadvantages: the shame of buying hair straighteners!! ha
...opted for the reasonably priced Remington CS5001 from Boots.
I paid £23.99 if i rememebr correctly which i thought was a good deal considering he more expensive types like GHD etc, I've since been told that they are available from Argos at a cheaper price!!!
The straighteners areI black with white/yellow Ceramic plates. The ceramic coating enables it to glide easier through your hair. It has a cable of 3 metres so you can actually use them in a ... ...lightweight and easy to use even for us novices....although i did burn my head on one or two occasions ha.
The only draw back for most people would be the fact thatthat there is no temperature control.
The first time i used them, i was surprised at how straight my hair was, applied alittle hair spray (gawd i cant believe i'm writing this on the net for all to see!!) and perfectly straight hair!!
I have used GHD's at a friends house (a girl in ...

Advantages: heat up quickly, leave hair feeling soft, easy to use Disadvantages: no on/off button
They are reasonably priced good straightners.
They come in a good sized box with clear instructions and tips on how to manage your hair. They heat up quickly to a hight temperature +but sometimes the plastic on the side near the ceramic plates can get quite hot too. They are easy to use but are quite big so it is easy to burn yourself. You need to do each peice of hair a couple of times if you want it dead straight but they are quick to use.
On ... ...away and now you can see some of the silver metal. You need to clean the plates after each use if you use hair products as they can get very dirty and if you don't clean them they you will not be able to get them clean in the long run.
It leaves my hair feeling soft and not greasy.
It can be quite annoying that there is no on/off button. You can buy them from £20 to £40 ...

Advantages: excellent result on hair Disadvantages: handles can get very hot if left on for a very long period of time
when i became interested in straightening my hair these were the first straighteners i ever purchased, i was 13 at this time, now 15 i am still using this model of straightener simply because i find them veryyy good, and no other straightening iron has the same effect on my hair, not even ghd. i would recommend them to anyone. these straighteners can also be used for curling your hair because the straightener has a rounded barrell, now with these ... ...a superb job on curling themselves, the straighteners can be used along with any styling or heat protection prouducts and even without creates a sleek, shiny, smooth look that is very admirable. i bought these straighteners for only £21.99 out of superdrugs at romford and i think that price is an absoloute bargain. when you purchase the staighteners they come with a free heat protection mat to protect your surfaces and these straighteners are very ...

Advantages: Heat up quickly, straighten hair really well but it still looks natural. Great price! Disadvantages: Not as good as GHD.
These are really good hair straighteners. They heat up quickly to about 200 degrees. Although they don't straighten hair as well as GHDs, hair looks more natural after use. I bought a pair of the old model 3 years ago and recently the connection failed. They had been so good though that I bought the new model immediately. I originally bought them on recommendations from friends who also thought they were super. I wasn't disappointed. Great for short ... ...I've used GHDs before and several other types but these are definitely the best. I don't like poker-straight hair. This model, from Boots, comes with a heatproof mat (ideal for protecting the carpet!!) and indicator light. the cord is 3m long which is handy when the mirror is quite far from the plug. I was unsure about getting some straighteners that were so cheap, but they're fantastic and you won't be disappointed! Just for an update on the above ...

Advantages: Not expensive Disadvantages: no temperature options
...hair straightener, I recently got remington cs5001 at boots for 14.99, its very easy to use, quick and efficient. Lets admit it, its not a perfect salon job, its not pokerstraight (Unless you use the right products along with it) but its straight enough to look nice, natural, stylish, and it will certainly change your looks if your curly, and it doesnt look dry and horrible. I would recomend usage of a protection spray, and an anti frizz serum with ...
