I think I can safely advise with authority on this one!Originally Posted by Northants Girly

The best ones without a doubt are GHDS, they heat up in 30secs, they're ceramic and they glide through the hair with out snagging or tugging, which some of the cheaper brands do!
The biggest plus for the professional hairdresser is the fact they get VERY HOT, therefore eliminating the need to go over any section of hair more than once (which is a bonus for time) but I might worry that in amature hands this may be a problem, if they're left in the hair longer than a few seconds, the hair will literally burn off (I've seen it happen!)![]()
GHDS cost from £75 upwards, £115 for the largest plate (the plate size should reflect the length of hair you've got..... 3-4ins and under the smallest plate and so on)
I've tried cheaper ones and i've found, they're too slow to heat up, never reach a high enough temp and they pull the hair, To be honest, I find them frustrating but if you have very fine hair or hair that's easily straightened, you may get away with it, I'd definitely go for ceramic or glass at least though!
Tip, whatever ones you use, you should alway's keep them moving in your hair, use a anti heat protection spray before hand and I'd recommend always finish off with a small amount of serum to keep you hair in tip top condition!
You will get the best result in straightening, when your hair is freshly washed and dryed!
Good luck!![]()
