GHDs are by far the best. get them from any good beauty salon, they are about £90. If you are wanting to spend less, you could try boots. you want something with ceramic plates, as they will do the least damage to your hair.

Considering that you have thin hair and how harsh hair straighteners are, you might wanna go to a good salon have it done professionally. You can totally mess up your hair when you don't know how to do it right. Believe me, I've had the worst hair straightening experience. I had it done in a less-than-stellar salon about 3 years ago, and eventhough my hair is normally quite strong, the inexperienced hairdresser just did such a poor job that it left my hair spongy and brittle and looking like masticated straw! I had to cut it all of. At least my hair was just shoulder length so it was not such a big loss, but imagine if you had to cut off your long hair which you must have grown for such a long time! Don't gamble with your hair by doing it yourself.

Morphy Richards cordless straighteners are fab! Their great for people with fringes or thin hair because they are not really large plates. They use thermoceramic technology, witch gets rid of frizz and fly-aways. And best of all you can move around with them because their cordless!
I can't think of any bad points except- they are not wet-to-dry straighteners, so you need to have dry hair before using them.
You can get them from many shops as they are quite popular- boots, argos and places like that. I have found them very reliable and they heat up really quick reaching 280 c (i think).
Their under £80, but that was a few months ago, so they should be cheaper now.
gd luck

Ermmm generally speaking I would say GHD'S they are fantastic straighteners. However if as you say your hair is exceptionally thin, then I would recommend a straightner with a lower or a least variable heating setting. The argos magazine is your best bet for that...then of course go onto ebay and get it for cheaper. ooo and don't forget cermatic is essential. Hope that helps

To avoid damageing Ur hair 2day y don't u just buy a red hot from boots 15.00

GHD's from the well know auction site e bay are best, as you can get them for around £70 plus a heat mat or some styling products etc included
GHD do seem to be the best cannot beat them really hope this helps

I use a Babyliss one called Wet and Dry. It also straightens wet hair.
It's ceramic, and has different temperatures so you don't burn your hair. It locks in shine and keeps moisture at bay so it won't frizz or curl.
There's also a turbo button which makes it SUPER sleek, but the temp for that is 200degrees so use it sparingly!
I've tried a lot of straighteners, including those from hairdressers and this is the one I've had the best results from.
I bought mine here in Sweden and it cost about €60.
I guess you'd get it in Boots. I know Debenhams here have them too so try there...
Good luck!

GHDs are absolutely the thanks to pass with unruly hair. Mine's somewhat resembling yours, in spite of the undeniable fact that the in hardship-free words those who comprehend I have curly frizzy hair are those who've considered me previously i straighten it (it is very few!). those straighteners make it very comfortable and instantly and it continues to be that way all day!

GHD Ceramic is the best i use it on my long thin hair as well, my sister uses it as well and she has medium legnth hair that is really thick, to get the full effect you might want to try V05 spray that keep your hair hydrated and does not let the heat burn you hair! Hope that was helpful!

For about 20 to 25 dollars you can buy a straightener at Walgreen's. The brand is Conair its black and the ironing squares our a goldish color. I use it and i have long thick hair.
