Hi, remember me?? Havent been on here in ages.
Anyway Ive just got a quick query, i hope you guys can help. Im thinking of getting some ceramic straighteners for my hair. Everyone keeps going on about these GHD ones but they are so dear. Since theyve been out awhile does can anyone recommend any that are as good as these for a wee bit cheaper? On asseenonscreen they have "Thermo Ceramic Straightening Iron by Hairtools" for €80 which is a good bit cheaper than the ghd (about €130!!) Does anyone know if these ones are any good?
Hope someone can help. Oh, and do any of you know a site where the ghd ones or another good one might be cheaper?
Cheers :)

    If your hair is reasonably straight at the moment, I'd go with the cheaper option. GHD's etc, are fine if you're a total frizz head at times, but if you just want the whole poker straight sleek deal, then go with the £40 thingies. Or whatever it is in Euro's.
    I hated Euro's when I was in Ireland in the summer. And I totally forgot they charged for plastic bags.
    Anyway.

    Yeah I live here and even I keep forgetting bout the plastic bag thing. One time I brought just the right amount of money to the shop and had to carry milk, eggs, toilet roll, tampons, bread and pizza all the way home cos I didnt have the 15 cent for the stupid bag. damn shop assistant wouldnt give me one for free :mad:

    Anyway as for the straightener, I have an old remington one already but its kinda crap. Cost about 30 pounds about 5 years ago which would be bout €40. I hardly ever use it though. My mate had ghd ones on hols though and they were brill. She used to do my hair every night with them. I really want to get good ones but Ive got a feeling i'll prob never use them. Im real lazy when it comes to doing my hair. It is sorta straight already though. I wanna get good ones that wont take too long to use.

    But you saved a plastic bag from a life stuffed in the cupboard under the stairs! Doesn't that feel good? :D

    AH, but we've come on a long way from the days of those buggers that used to burn your fingers and fry your hair to a crisp.
    As long as they're ceramic and a good brand, they'll work along the same lines. There's no point spending £100 just to get rid of a few kinks.

    Save your pennies for your plastic bags. :yes:

    lol :D

    Thanx for the advice :) Im gonna put off buying one for a few days and see how i feel then. To be honest I dont really need one, I just want one for doing my hair before a night out. I wouldnt bother using it everyday or anything.

    (ps I should be studying for an exam that i have tomorrow :( )
