I have a ghd but yes it's expensive....I did have the sassoon one and it was great, around $100. I'd say get a cheaper one if it's only for occasional use, she might only use it once in a blue moon. And the ones on the market today are pretty good on safety.
A god quality one at a reasonable price is the Diva. Available from hair house warehouse. Works like a ghd but at half the price.
Oh dear! I mean good quality!
I've had my remington for more than 11 years. Hasn't been a problem. I don't know how much it was, as it was a present but I'm pretty confident it wouldn't have been too pricey. ;)
I have had both and preferred the Remington. It was about $80 at Myer.:
Another GHD fan here! But very eddy and not really made for young ones.
I think as already has been suggested try Kmart or BigW for a Remington or VS. they are cheaper and you may come across other made for kidlets.
EDIT: * exxy, not eddy- damn autocorrect
Can I just say, N2L, that you aren't beauty-challenged because you are naturally beautiful and gorgeous.
On the other hand, I share your no-idea-ness about things like this. So we must both be naturally beautiful and gorgeous.
I don't think they sell hair-straighteners at Bunnings.
Nawwww - right back atchya xxx:
I know they dont sell them at Koko Black either.
Hmmm... how about we check out Max Brenners at Doncaster when I get back from Los Angeles? I *think* they may have some ;)
Deal. ( just to be sure ;) ):
I use babyliss pro 230 and I find them better than ghds. IV had both over the years. X
There is a bit on hair straightener safety/hazards on ch7 tonight at 7.30. Possibly today tonight or something similar. Maybe they'll suggest a safe one for a home with littlies?
Bumping this one
Would any of the cheaper straighteners manage to curl my hair like ghd's do? I have cheap Remington ones and they take forever to work but from memory they were about ten dollars. I also have Remington straighteners which are great but are too wide for my now shorter hair and they won't curl.
:bump: for Trav, I'd love to know too because I have a wide Remington that straightens well but would love one that curls too.
If you get one of the thinner ones you should be fine to curl it. I used to curl mine with my $30 Remington, and when DH and I got professional photos done the hair/makeup girl curled my hair with a straightener from cheap as chips! I think it depends mostly on the shape of the straightener.
Thanks I got thin Remington ones that are rounded on the outside and they did the job perfectly.
