My personal advice, if you want to take it, is just bite the bullet and pay the extra. It is definitely woth it.
I had the original babyliss team straightneres, then had remington ones (which I thought were amazing at the time), then I tried charles worthington, then the remington wet/dry ones (useless!!), then I bought corioliss (which they sell in bluewater and at the ideal home show and they are absolute rubbish, waste of £60), then I tried nicky clarke and some others after that. In the end I succumbed and bought GHD and I would never ever use anything else, nothing matches up.
It does depend on your hair type I guess. If its not too bad then cheaper ones will work, but I find not only do GHDs make it super straight it also seems to stay straighter in damp conditions compared to all the others.
Try lookfantastic.com or jasonshankey.co.uk. I think these are 2 very reliable, cheap(ish) website who also offer free gifts sometimes. On lookfantastic.com to become a memeber you just need to register your details then you get the cheaper price.
Happ straightening!

Hi, ive tried lots of different hair straigteners by different makes. But i have to be honest, GHDS are the ones who dont wreck your hair like the others do. I got some decent ones called Kodo they are high tempereature that straighten my hair but i found my hair becoming more brittle even when i was using a heat protection spray. So i then decided to try another type so i tried Vidal Sassoon, these where brilliant and dont snag hair, they still damaged my hair alot though then eventually they stopped working, and i couldnt get the same type again so i tried the vidal sassoon glass ones and they werent any good either. So i went back to my Kodo for a while. But i though everyone says GHDS are good and they actually improve the condition of your hair. So last year i got a pair from a hairdresser near me and they are better than any i have tried and ive been using them for ages and my hair doesnt seem brittle and thin like it used to and has actually started growing again as its not getting in bad condition also they dont snag or pull either which saves your hair the damage. I know GHDS are £100 but you will pay nearly £60-£80 for high street ones so i would pay the extra for GHDS as they are the best.

I use hair tools ionic straighteners which I bought off the internet. I find that they suit my hair better than GHD which tend to make my hair fly away a bit and they are not so good on thicker hair. I have had my hair tools ones for over 2 years now and they still work perfectly.

The Ghds are amazingg
It depends what type of hair you have.. i Have very thick frizzy hair and the ghds just straighten it amazingly
I have heard that the babyliss pro 230 are good ones
Try them .. they are quite cheap... Hope this helps
Best of look !!

i am a ghd owner. i have had plenty of other straighteners before and not one of them match up to ghds. thing is, youll think i cant afford to spend money on the good ones so ill get a cheaper version, except... they break, so youll keep buying new cheap ones. til eventually you might as well have bought some ghds coz youll have spent that much money on them!!! trust me... they are my most treasured possesion!! buy them immediately..!! lol :)

Use an ionic flat iron. It will not curl back easly.
Solia makes a Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron.
According to the Solia flat iron website, "tourmaline,
a precious stone, is used to generate up to 6 times more
negative ions than traditional ceramic irons".( $75/85)
