I have a pair of Trevor Sorbie ceramic straighteners, they were around £45 (I think) from Boots. My sister has GHDs and in my opinion they are no better than mine and mine were almost half the price!
Also, it isn't true that ceramic straighteners will not damage your hair. You still need to use a good heat protector spray before you use them (I use Toni & Guy, £6ish from Boots/Superdrug).

Hi there
I just upgraded my straighteners - my hair's a nightmare! There are 2 reasons why GHD ones are supposed to be so good - they are really hot, and they're ceramic. I got some Babyliss ones that were about £30 which are ceramic and go up to 230 degrees C - about the same as the GHDs. I can't believe how good they are. I've had a go on my friend's GHDs, and I think my £30 are just as good.
The other thing to remember is that you have to use a straighteners spray so that you don't dry out your hair. There's a good one by Lee Stafford or Tony and Guy (all in Boots).
Have fun!

My mums the same,i dont get it if it makes us happy why not?
i have tryed lots of straighteners but if your looking for a quick straight use nicky clark,if you have a bit more time use remmington.
Seperate your hair into layers.do half at a time,clip half up,layer up the other half,and just straighten it like that so much easier ( then a trick a leart from my mate) flip your head upside down and just re-do the under layers,stops it from going wavey.
normal can damager your hair and make it look static,ceramic protects.

Hi,
GHD are the best you can get so try & save for some, check out e-bay they have some on there. Ceramic straighteners are smoother on the hair & do not damage as much.

Save up and get GHD they are the very best anything else is just a waste of time and money. I bought GHD salon straightners and they cost £108 but it was money well spent. Talk to your Mum and tell her you'll do the dishes for a year!

GHD's are superior but if you really can't get them the £25 Remmington ones (as someone has already mentioned) are pretty good. Make sure you use a straightening serum as well, as not to kill your hair. Toni and Guy do a good one for about £7 xxx

in case you propose the straightening irons, specific, they do injury hair. The enforce itself isn't the subject, however the folk who use them. maximum do no longer know a thank you to apply them properly, and overheat their hair, or do it whilst the hair isn't thoroughly dry. Moisture interior the hair whilst heated will create steam and "explode" the hair on the interior and then in some months, once you have forgotten what you have accomplished, will the hair come aside and you do no longer know why. a number of the warmth protection products might artwork slightly, yet ideal use of the irons is what you may desire to do. undergo in ideas that when the wear is accomplished, you are able to no longer restoration it. each thing works. yet you may desire to apply the spectacular device interior the spectacular thank you to get the outcomes you prefer. utilising the incorrect device interior the incorrect way on the incorrect hair will continually create a large number.

I now use Tresemme straighteners, they were about £20 in Boots (UK) but I can't remember if they were in a sale or not. They are the best and really straighten my hair (which is not only curly but super frizzy too :( ) I also use Tresemme heat protection spray which also does a good job.

I personally think its down to technique. Ask athe the hairdressers the best way to straighten your hair. Remember to use protective spray as well.
I bought some hair clamps as my hair is thick and wavy to section it up.
