View Full Version : Hair Straighteners
can anyone recommend me any good hair straighteners??
i want to spend about £60- £ 70 at most
Are you friends or know anyone that is a hairdresser?
I just bought the new tresseme (sp) straighteners and they work brilliant £30 and it was the hairdresser who recommended them
ooo i haven't heard of them ones! Would you reccomend them?
oh yeah - my hair has always been really hard to get straight and it only took me 20 mins the morning (and my hairs quite long) so these are the best ones ive ever had
wow! i'll look into those!

Remington wet to stright £65 -£70
there really good ive got them they get your hair as stright as Ghds do, i love em lol.
You can use them on wet hair so theres no need for hairdryers lol
But you can use them on there own too.
hope that helps
can you use wet to straight ones when your hair is dry??

mines the same, but when i use these strighterners, its sends my hair really smooth and stright. I didnt think they would work for me at first lol but they did i was well shocked lol
cool, well next time i go into town i;'ll get some!
I heard my friend saying today, you can get really good ceramic ones from avon for like £40! Which is good!!:D
omg, i think i'm gonna get the wet 2 straight ones, because i can dry my hair at the same time... i'm still considering though!

07-10-2005, 17:18

I'd recommened GHD if you can get them cheap as they are usually around 90 quid but remingtons are as good an they are only 20
hmmm yeah, well i'll have a look at the weekend!

the wet to dry ones are really good but they get kinda hot as well
hm... can they really be good for your hair???
i'm gonna get some quite cheap ones but not wet 2 straight i think

I know this is a really old post and youll probably have some straighteners by now! but i really recomend Vidal Sasoon Ceramic Maximum straightener. I bought them from my local Asda (would you believe it!) for £20 and they fantastic! I'd say as good as GHDs!

GHD's all the way baby! They are fantastic, but are costly.
What ones did you end up getting?
Old topic i know, but i have FHI ones, i bought them from my salon and i love them. & they go dark red when they are hot enough!!
I still haven't got any, I just ended up giving up on them and i found some shampoo that seems to work... i can't remember the name, maybe lee stafford poker straight?
Dr. Tangliss

Yeah, I have that and it's good, although admittedly I ended up paying to have my hair perm straightened.....which was worth it.

How does that work i was thinking about getting one but not sure if it would really stay straight?? But after doing P.E in the rain today after straightening for an hour this morning i'm thinking about geting one done!
Babyliss definatly, you get 25% more length on the ceramic plates and they came better than GHD's in a survey. For £60, the best you can get are ones that go to 230C and they're brilliant!

I've got Vidal Sassoon they cost me £20 and are excellent, better than the hair dressers ones.
Wow £20! What temperature do they go up to? My first straightners were £7 ones from avon that aren't very good. I love my Babyliss ones though!
Jessie Wallace
25-11-2006, 09:56
I have no idea, but they are the best i've ever had. So expensive is not always best!
Yeah, people who use GHDs for ages say their hair snaps literally in their fingers, plus GHD's are most likely to set on fire as they have no protective cap.

Well i'm not that interested in them to know about all that, i just know what mine are and that they are very good.

lol! I only bought them cos they were the ones they used at the hair dressers. I like them cos they heat up to 230C in 30 seconds and I only need to go through it once cos I'm normally in a hurry in the morning.

I got the new GHD 4's today!
Cost me £155, because i had to buy the set, as you cant buy them separatly yet, and i didnt want to wait so i just got them! :D
Oooo Very nice, I dont really own expenisve hair strightners but they do the job and get very hot as well.

I have a pair of babyliss ones, which i don't use, my hairs straight anyway and i very rarely do anything to it, but when my sisters are home i do uses theres if i'm going out as ones got GHDs and the other something else.
I have Nicky Clarke ones. There really good. I dont use them that often but when i do they work really well. My sister kept robbing my old ones so i bought a new set.
I've got a pair of Nicky Clarke kinder 4 hair. Fairly expensive, £50 but they are excellent. They're ionic too so it reduces all the frizz and fly aways.
I need to get some hair straighteners soon as I'm growing my hair.
Can anyone recommend any that are suitable for men's hair, becuase apparantly you can get special ones...

GHD mini styler, the one with the small thin plates, usually for short men's hair and women's bobs! x

i have remington wet2straight, side plate ones, anyone know how to stop you hair from going static after straightening x
Do you use a heat protector spray before you straighten?
yh, i used the spray and it went static, so i tried without and it still went static:s, maybe i will try putting more on but then it makes my hair go greesy quicker! x
