I've got some Remington Wet to Dry Straighteners, which were highly recommended on Amazon's reviews by people who said they had medium length thick curly hair like mine but I am not getting the same results as other people have achieved when straightening my hair with GHD and I don't know if its just because I need practice with any straighteners (I've never used them before) or because they aren't as good. They were only £40 with Amazon, but are nearer £80 in Argos, so not the cheapest straighteners around. I expected better.

I would persist with the g.h.d...and make sure you get some heat protector as your hair will just end up frizzy.
I love mine,all my mates use mine and you have the option of curling your hair with them too.
If you go on the g.h.d site there's a short movie (Micha Barton look) for tips and advice ...Good Luck x

I used to have Remington straighteners the £29 ones and when I changed to GHDs I found not a great difference. Also there are many other good straighteners such as Fudge ones too.

I used to use chemical straighteners, but those are really harsh and usually only lasted about a week for me, so don't try those. I use a straightening iron now, it was $30 at SavOn. It's a con air. At first I was afriad it wouldn't work because I had an old one and it was a POS, but this one has 25 heat settings, and the strongest one works fine for me, and my hair is pretty poofy.

I've tried a few different straighteners and in my experience i get the best results from using GHD's.

No, I have a pair of Nicky Clarke straightners and they are great. GHD just have a good advertising campaign thats all. I wouldn't pay £100!
