...type of customer content; the Vidal Sassoon Micro Crystal Plate Technology.
But would I agree with the reports I'd read?
After a botched delivery, which came five days late, I finally had the pink and silver straighteners in my hands. From where I got them from, I paid less than £20 (a bargain!) and they came in a very good tin case which was, like the product, pink and silver and a great way of storing my new buy and keeping them safe.
Pros and ... ...to buy these is the fact that they have a digital heat management system. Included in the box is an instruction guide that does vaguely advise you what temperature would best suit you length and thickness of hair. The heat controls are very easy to use, great for anyone who is using hair straighteners for the first time. The heat up time for these babies is phenomenal - it literally does heat up in a matter of seconds. You can even hear the 'crystals' ...

...then I found the amazing Vidal Sassoon Microcrystal Straigheners.
They are just as good as GHD and less than half the price! They make my hair super straight and shiny and it lasts all day, even if I put my hair up for a while, when I take it down it is STILL straight. It's even pretty straight when I sleep on it.
My hair is quite frizzy but these take away all the frizz and just leave it super sleek and shiny :)
Another fab thing about them is ... ...the temperature is shown on a little screen. Neat huh?
And they are a lovely pinky purple colour so very girly :)
Also they have a swivel chord so no more getting tangled up!
These are absolutely amazing, great value for money and just as good as GHD, I'd recommend them to ANYONE! ...

Advantages: looks good, long cable, doesnt make your hair frizy/static Disadvantages: results arent that good, results don't last
I've had these straightners for just under a year now.
I have really long, thick, curly and static hair.
The vs046 straightners arent ideal for my hair. No matter how long i straighten for, it doesnt make my hair poker straight. And When it is straight, it never lasts more than 10 minutes.
They take a long time to heat up, and the maximum temperature is meant to be 210, but they arent very hot.
Recently i've had my hair cut and they work a little ... ...30 minutes to get my hair straight, and then it didnt last.
My hair often gets caught in the grooves on the edges of the heat plates.
Some good things about it are that it doesnt make your hair frizzy, the long cable makes it easy to use and they look really good (PINK!!!!!!!) ...

Advantages: Straight frizz free hair, shiny hair, cheap, heat control, funky design Disadvantages: Easy to lean on the buttons when straightening
...some good reviews on the Vidal Sassoon VS046 Micro Crystal so i decided to try it out. I missed the deal to get them at £15 with £5 postage and packaging from a website and then got them cheaper than that from ebay from just under £19, that too as new and never used. I think they retail about £33 upwards. So im glad i got myself a bargin.
Its features:
- Ultra smooth plates made from over 1 billion crushed crystals (provides precise flatness).

- Ultra fast heat up - ready to use in 20 seconds.

- On/off switch.
- Auto shut off - after 60 minutes. (can be reactivated by pressing any button)
- 2.8m professional swivel cord.
- 2 year guarantee.
Its quick and easy to use. Though i do find the buttons get in the way while holding them so you could ...

Advantages: Smoothes and straightens hair very well Disadvantages: The whole temperature thing is a LITTLE bit confusing at first I suppose
...for my hair - The Vidal Sassoon VS046. I have very long hair at the moment and every straightener i tried was either making it frizz or my hair just wasnt staying straight for very long. The first time I used the VS046 I was kinda confused with the temperature settings and all that jazz but now it's easy as pie! They leave my hair shiny, smooth and poker straight all day! It's also really good at curling hair aswell, which is just a bonus! :) I would ...

I am not the best at taking good care of my hair but every now and then I try. One of the things I never do to my hair is blow dry it, it gets way too frizzy. I live on hall at Uni and so I have limited space which means getting one of those regular... more
When my first GHD straighteners unexpectedly broke after only 1 year of use I was completely at a loss. I didn't want to shell out another £100 for straighteners which wouldn't last so I rushed to Argos to see what I could find.
