Straighteners..

Popple · 07-01-2009, 07:48 PM

Soo...my straighteners are officially wrecked the plates have actually cracked o.0 which is weird because I have never known glass plates to crack.

Anywho in a perfect world I would buy ghd's but I am rather skint and I will have money soon yippee but I need clothes badly..

I have very thick hair and so I want something that actually keeps it straight for a while so far the only thing that has worked is my cousins ghds. Just wondering can anyone recommend any others?

Thankyouplease =]

before i got ghd's i had straightners by remmington...called something like 2x ??, they were ceramic plated like ghd's so not as bad for you hair.
i think there were about £30 ish xx

i have these- http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-208...1354848&sr=1-1

my hair is thick and naturally curly and it manages to control it.
ive had them for ages and im always tripping over the wire and thy go flying across the room and they havent broken yet, ive had no problem with them.
they have been the only hair straightners that have actually managed to properly straighten my hair.

and they are cheap there i got mine orinally for alot more than that

I have the Babyliss ones that Spoons has suggested and I think they're great. I used to really struggle to get my hair straight before I got these, and I managed to straighten my friends hair with them and she has very thick and very very curly hair! Think I got mine from Argos for £25 but that was a while ago.

£25!?!?!?!?!

*goes to curse at sister who works for boots*

they work really well on my hair because it stays straight for days so i dont use my straighteners every day and it stays straight and I have thick hair so yea I'd recommend them

If you go on www.lookfantastic.co.uk then ghd's are a tad cheaper if you make yourself a member, plus they are awesome at delivering, if you order by 3pm they tend to arrive the next morning!

I got my ghd's from ebay. They were brand new and only cos me £72 inc p&p. I know it's still a lot for straightners, but they are awesome!
