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

Good Hair Day? Definitely!

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

...straightener from my experience, and if you frequently straighten your hair then it's more of an investment! Another negative point is that (quite obviously) they're very hot - but they do get hotter than most, so it's good practice to use the heatproof mat just in case, and keep an eye on them. They do have the potential to burn/damage the hair, so it's probably worth using a protective serum in addition to the hair straighteners. Also, on the 'heat' point, it's worth noting that there are only two settings - on and off! Some hair straighteners have various levels of temperature, such as 1, 2, 3... these just have one high-heat setting. I find it fine for my hair, but it's worth bearing in mind if you generally like to use different settings when straightening your hair! The only other negative I can think of is that I and some friends...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

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 ....

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...

GHD thermal protector for normal- fine hair

Advantages: Smells great, non greasy, really does protect your hair, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive- no other negatives

...Ghd thermal protector is used to protect your hair from the heat damage caused by styling when using appliances such as a hair dryer or straightners. It can be used before, during and after styling. It protects the hair from damage by locking its mositure and nutrients into the hair. This particular pruduct I own is for normal- fine hair and consists of a light weight oil. To use this product you should spray it on to clean damp hair, prior to drying and benefit from spraying each section individually when drying or styling. I am really impressed with this product. I have used a number of products for this purpose and this is the only one that I have used that does not make my hair look greasy. It really does protect you hair too. Since using the products I have noticed the difference in my hair. My hair seems to look...

Review of GHD Thermal Protector Normal / Fine

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...

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

...My mum bought me my first pair of GHDs roughly five years ago. Looking back I can honestly say that I have no idea how I managed without them! I had a pair of pretty rubbish things in my first year at secondary school but it wasn't until I had GHDs that my hair was properly managed. When we visited our salon they used GHDs to finish the look of both me and my mum's hairstyles. Now I know that the hairdresser can always make your hair look ten times better than you can but I have to say my hair looked straighter and sleeker than it ever had before. My mum forked out about £100 for the straightners, and judging by her usually tightness when it comes to money this shows just how impressed she really was. These were the original GHDs that were first on the market. They were innovative because they only took 7 seconds to heat up (my...

GHD Styler - hair straighteners that save time and effort!

Advantages: heats up quickly! straightens, curls and creates waves! turns off automatically if left on!!
Disadvantages: can't straighten when hair is wet

...I have always been sceptical when it comes to buying an item that ?everyone has/wants?; which is why when it came to the time to decide what to buy to straighten my hair, I was hesitant to select one from the GHD range. Their obviously higher prices seemed to be more for a one of Christmas or birthday present, not something solely for vanity purposes! However, when I came to finally decide to buy this product, I was AMAZED. Truly, coming from someone who loves to do her hair all the time and takes pride in her appearance, this product certainly shaved off so much time from my daily routine. I can straighten and curl with it, which makes things so much easier. It?s great for the daytime look, and for the evening outs ? when you want to change your usual appearance. It heats up quickly, which makes it even more convenient. After it...

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

...GHD hair straightners are something i really could not live without. I have got the Limited edition IV Kiss ones and although the price is what seems redicuoulsly high at £135 they are worth every penny! I`ve had so many hair straightners in the past, cheep ones because i didnt want to spend that amount, i am now glad i did at last splash out on these!! They come in a box, roughly the size of a shoe box, in one side is the GHD stylers and on the side that lifts open there is a packet of 3 GHD lipglosses in a small little box which are also fabulous. There is an instruction manual and a book containing a list of all the other products available by the GHD company. The great thing I love about GHDs is that they come with a dvd of how to create different styles!! Although these are called hair "straightners" they are...

Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...
