ive got some remmington ceramics, cost me about $80 I think? I really like them. I just couldn't justify spending all that money on a pair of straighteners, although I would love the GHD's.
BEWARE of buying "GHD" on trade me,there wasa big scandal a while back of people spending hte big money and getting fakes... Personally if I was going to spen upwards of $150 for them, I owuld buy them at a salon, not of TM. At least you know what you are getting. |
DP bought mine from my friend who works at a salon (she herself has 3 pairs  ) but my friend bought hers off TM and hers are definetly the real thing, and if they arent , they work just the same as mine
Also , remember when hairdressers straighten your hair , they usually straighten it when they are drying it off first, buy using a round brush and holding the hair dryer over it

Hmmm, now I'm not sure what to do! I only want to get some 'flicks' at the end of my hair as it's dead straight already. Might talk to my hairdresser and see if she can help... thanks everyone

I have the remmington ones that are ceramic with teflon coating, very slimline and i love them, they give me the same results that i got from the hairdresser. I straighten, then put thru some fructis straightening milk, then do a last once over to set the fructis stuff which is heat activated. I love em.

I just have a cheap set, they were a gift, but I'm pretty sure they were about $30 from Kmart, Vidal Sassoon I think.
I'd get a cheaper one to start with, just until you know how much you're going to use it. I'm thinking about ghd now, since I'm now straightening my hair everyday, so it is worth it, but 2 years ago when it was just for special occasions it wasn't.
Oh, and get a slim model, my first straightener was really wide (like 10 cm across) and was such a pain to maneuver!!

Im just glad my sis has a pair od GHDs that our mum sent her form England!! They are the big fat ones too so they rock.
But yeah, i would NEVER spend that much on a pair of straighteners thats f-ing ridiculous. Plus i dont straighten my hair that much and even if i did id get ones that are much cheaper. In the end, its still gonna mess up your hair whether they cost $50 or $300.
I think Remington are pretty good, my sister got a pair for about 70 and had a little pair free.

Oh my, I have tried a couple of cheapies and then bought a GHD. They are soooo much better!!!! It not takes 20 minutes to straighten my hair instead of an hour.
I love my GHD's.

If you just want flicks dont bother getting GHDs!!! You just need cheapies!! Honestly they do the job just fine! Remington, Vidal Sasson i think are all sweet, just make sure you get ceramic ones.
