A Very Very Good Hair Day!

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...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

You want curly hair?

Advantages: high-heat performance, good results, good manual
Disadvantages: difficult to wind the hair around the rollers, smell while heating up

...You don't know what to get your mom or girlfriend for christmas or for birthday? Well if she has long straight hair but would like to style it and make is curly; you might consider this product. The baByliss Thermo-Ceramic Rollers deliver high heat performance for fast, perfect curl formation and a smooth shiny finish. (this is what the product description says) 20 rollers in three different sizes are provided when bought. The set consists of 6 small, 6 medium and 8 large rollers. After heating them up for 4 minutes (a stylish container/box is supplied) the rollers can be used for styling your hair. The On/Off switch with indicator light allows you to trun on the device (after plugging in) and a 'heat ready indicator light' informs you when the rollers are ready to use. You apply the rollers to your hair by using super...

Review of BaByliss 3034U/3035U Thermo-Ceramic

Great for short thin 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 ....

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

Advantages: Quick to heat up, Excellent results, Easy to use, Time-saving
Disadvantages: Cost, Extremely hot, Only one setting

...I've had these hair straighteners for roughly six months now and have used them probably every day since I was given them, so I feel fairly qualified to give my opinion: that I really can't recommend them highly enough!! The quality of GHDs is unbeatable - I've used a lot of hair straighteners in my time, and I've got to say that they really do give consistently good results. They heat up in roughly fifteen seconds, and you can straighten hair very quickly in a rush with a fairly good finish - which as you can imagine saves huge amounts of time in the mornings! Generally, unless your hair is remarkably stubborn, the hair will also stay straight for the duration of the day. It's also worth noting that they're pretty versatile, and as my hairdresser demonstrated a few days ago, it's quite easy to get nice curls using these hair...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Sexy Shiny Hair With A Pink And Girly Twist!

Advantages: They Are Pink, Heat Detector, Heat Indicator, Easy To Use, Curls Too, Value For Money
Disadvantages: Frequent Use Damages Hair

...have obviously taken into account what consumers would value in terms of the improvement of their products. The pink straightners now heat to 230 and only take 7 seconds. The flashing red light turns off once they have reached optimum temperature so you know when they are ready for use. They have a monitor so that if they are not used for 30 minutes they will shut off and if the room temperature is too cold they will also turn off to prevent them from getting damaged. This is a good addition because with my old straightners I was constantly panicking at the thought of my room burning down because I did not check my straightners were turned off before I left. Just like the previous straightners they can straighten both extremely curly and extremely frizzy hair to leave you with long lasting straight hair. Not only this, they also make...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

GHD hot pink kiss hair stylers.. well worth every kiss!!

Advantages: styles your hair in so many ways.. curles, straight, waves and so much more
Disadvantages: are more expensive than other hair stylers

...hair and do this with every section until you`ve done all your hair.. simple as that. To curl, again seperate your hair into sections hold the section of hair at the bottom with the straightners pointing upwards, grip the hair with your GHds then as you glide down your hair twist.. still holding them upwards, this will take alot of practice unless you are naturally great at styling hair, unfortuatly i`m not one of those people lol. To create a "summer wave" look do the same as the curling but instead of just twisting them one way, twist backwards and forwards.. it is easy to do just not so easy to explain. These really are the best though as you can change the way your hair naturally goes, and have a side parting instead of middle and the make your hair go anyway you want it to. Even really curly hair gets straight with these, you...

GHD, makes a bad hair day a good hair day

Advantages: Temperature, quick warm up
Disadvantages: None

...These straighteners are the best hair straighteners I have ever used, they heat up in about 10 seconds, beep when they're ready to use and then if you forget to turn them off they switch themselves off which is great if you're like me and have often come home to find my bed covers completely singed. They're very hot which although on the one hand is good because they work really well for every type of hairstyle you can ever want to do, straighten, curl, volumise etc. However, if you don't use a comb when straightening your hair you can quite often burn your fingers on your hair. GHD really do offer quality products as a general rule and I would never use any other straighteners. This is my 3rd pair of GHD's so really I have no complaints, however, my hot pink straighteners have had to be sent back to GHD on 2 different occasions...

GHD - A 'Good Hair Day'

Advantages: Heats up quick
Disadvantages: Expensive

...GHD are the best straightners on the market, GHD actually stands for 'Good hair day' which is exactly what they give you.....every time. Near enough every hair salon uses them and they can be bought from most of them and also the GHD website. There are a range of different types of GHD straightners for different styles, both for girls and boys. They Take only a short 20 seconds to heat up to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees, they also have a little red led which lets you know exactly when there done once its stopped flashing. Meaning you only have to go over one section of your hair once unlike many other straightners on the market. Straightening can be annoying when the cord keeps getting caught or tangled, but it?s not going too happen with the 360 degree swivel cord GHDs have. This makes it easier to move around your head...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Short and Curlies

Advantages: lasts forever
Disadvantages: not found in many High St shops

...Fudge shaper is quite possibly the most impressive stying product I have found (and I used many i my years of being a hairdresser)The first thing you notice about it is that it is extremely gooey. You could easily be forgiven for thinking it is last thing you want on your hair as you try and prise the lid off without covering anything nearby in a sticky white mess. However the smell of it is usually enough to make you consider it a little longer. Shaper - like all of the fudge products smells good enough to eat. Its like standing in a sweet factory (which can lead to people sniffing you a lot, as it doesn't wear off!). Now I think I should explain something that not many people know........how to use it properly as Shaper is not just for short hair. It is also possible the best thing ever for curly hair, especially LONG curly...

Review of Fudge Hair Shaper 100g

Curly Wurly in a tube

Advantages: Organic effective product from a Green company
Disadvantages: Expensive, not widely available

...Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancing Lotion The company behind the products: **************************** Aveda was founded in 1978 by Horst Rechelbacher. An austrian who wanted to start a world-wide plant-based cosmetics company run on ethical employment principles, a company which would produce and sell personal grooming aids untested on animals with ingredients sourced on fair-trade principles. Today, Aveda are considered the Grand-daddy of the organic and ethical beauty business. From the start, they produced hair-sprays propelled by air-infused technology rather than the ozone layer destroying CFC?s used in other canisters of the period. I started using their products when my Mother-in-law-to-be included a sample bottle of their Hydrating Lotion in my Christmas stocking last year. I was converted to this lurvely stuff when I...
