Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women Disadvantages: None
After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair.
When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well.
After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners.
They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor ...

straighteners!
Physically this is a very attractive hair straightener - especially for a very 'girly' girl.

Packaging-wise they're presented in an attractive box (also pink!) and a heatproof mat is included, which also doubles up as a 'carrier' of sorts - it has a pouch to place the GHDs and the plug in, and a tie for the cable. Very useful if you're going away and want to protect your GHDs in your suitcase!
The one obvious negative is the cost, generally they retail for £90+. While this is obviously a LOT to pay for a luxury item, I'd say that you do get what you pay for - and this is a reliable, excellent hair ...
Advantages: Heat very quickly Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair
I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair . ...
