Hairdresser's all use Straighteners nowadays but not only for straightening but for curling as well as flicks this especially used for shorter hair styles. It can give your hair a fantastic shine but it can also make your have become brittle, looks unhealthy with split ends, the best thing to do is only straighten your hair a few days a week not everyday.

More and more celebrities and famous hairdressers are creating their own Straighteners and selling these in high street shops and good hairdressers. Most hair straighteners are black in color but the GHD Limited Edition at the moment are fuchsia pink which is great for us girlies but they do come at a price of around ?120.00.

I had a pair of cheap ?9.99 pink straighteners when straighteners first began to come into the shops I thought they were fantastic in my favorite color too, but then I tried my friends and hers worked so much better so I decided to go and buy a new paid I believe were Babyliss they were a little better but had thinner plates so it was taking me even longer to do my hair as mine is quite thick and long then I bought a pair of cheap Remington ones but they weren't very good never actually straightened my hair. A few months after that, after visiting a salon and having my hair colored blonde and pink and having it all layered they straightened it once it was complete and it looked fab it really did, the straighteners got hot really quickly nothing liked the ones I had at home 20minutes before I wanted to use them I would have to put them on. So I found the price out of these ones they were ?60.00 ? I thought this was very expensive as I was only on ?300.00 a month but I decided to save my money up the next month and I bought a pair that was 5 years ago and they still work they are Futura and I would recommend them to anyone with thicker and longer hair. I've never had any problems with them, so overall those have been a very good investment. I have now decided I want a new pair, ones with slimmer plates so I can use them to curl my hair too. IM hoping I might get the Mark Hill ones with the pink plates love them there around ?100.00 I'm hoping there worth it, until you've tried them you don't know.
