Hair Straighteners

Whats the IONIC thing they crap on about?

Um its supposed to have less charge of electricity or something - so less static/frizz. But if you get one with a ceramic plate this is good too as it heats evenly and is less static than metal. Much like cooking with a ceramic pan.

I have a hi lift and it is great.
I just dont have the patience to straighten everyday.
I got mine from HHWH for $99 on special and it came with some defrizz serum and a bag full of HH goodies.

I've tried so many over the past few years and sorry, but you really can't go passed GHD's I know they are pricey but you do get what you pay for. Also if she's using them everyday they will be alot better fot her hair.

I think I would have spent way more than the GHDs cost on all the othre straightners i've had and none of them came close to the GHDs. They are incredible!

I got my GHD second hand - good as new and only used twice for $150 so that could be an option too.

I've got a Babyliss which I love. I had a very wide paddle Remmington (still have got it). It was fine but I wanted narrow paddles so I could do curls and flicks more easily. My Babyliss was about $60 at a 50% off sale! A lot of hairdressers use them. I use it almost every time I wash my hair (about 3-4 times a week). I have to use the hottest setting for my hair though because it's quite thick. Mine heats up in less than 5 seconds to max which is about 220 degrees.

GHD here too and I have the purple one!!! So drool away amysarah!

To the person who asked why they are better: many reasons starting with the fact that they are ceramic plates and high quality, highly pur ceramic at that which means that the heatis evenly distrbuted and you don't get hot and not so hot spots which affect the end result of the hair style. They also work at a very high and very stable heat which ironically means less damage to the hair shaft as you only need to do one pass with the straightener. Starighteners that advertise wet to dry DO NOT BUY.......wet hair means steam.... steam means damage to the hair shaft big time. By the same token straighteners that advertise variable temperatures again means you have less control over the result and generally means that the straightener needs longer contact with the hair shaft to work meaning more damage to the hair shaft. It is a bit like the theory behind UHT milk...super high temperature for less than a second...same thing with the hair straightener because although it is super hot it is not in contact with the hair long enough to do damage to the shaft but is enough to provide great styling results. Hope that makes sense!!

that is just a couple of reason why they are better for more info try googling their website....i think you have to google ghdhair as just ghd is a financial planner or something like that!
