Advantages: Fantastic quality and very stylish

Disadvantages: None

Since I was a child I have had natural wavy hair that frizzes and curls randomly leaving me looking a little like a poodle!

As a result of this natural curse a very good pair of straighteners is essential to me.

I have always been a huge fan of GHD'S because they deliver such fantastic straightening quality. They are expensive but it's worth it for how good they are.

A couple of months ago the GHD's that have been performing miracles for years suddenly broke. You can imagine the tradgedy this was.

I went shopping for a new pair the very same day that I got paid and originally planned to get some GHD's again. On the way to the salon where I previously bought GHD's I nipped into Argos and saw an advertisement for Babyliss Pro 230 Radience. The reviews of them sounded fantastic and at £99.99 they were lower priced then the GHD's. I decided they were worth a try and off I went to buy some.

Getting home with my new straighteners I couldn't wait to get them out and use them. Opening the box I noticed they came in a really nice red bag that had a heat proof mat clipped around it.
The straighteners are also red in colour and look very stylish indeed.

Intially being impressed with the straighteners I just hoped that the styling power would live up to impressions.

The straighteners come with lots of fancy features such as:

*Variable heat 230C - salon performance
*Conditioning ionic steam for no-frizz shine
*Retractable de-tangling fins for total straightness
*3m salon type swivel cord for ease of use
*Extra power heaters and special ceramic-titanium plates
*Luxury heat protection mat and storage pouch.

They heat up in just 30 seconds and the digital display makes it easy to see when they are ready to use. the steam feature gives really smooth results and the retractable comb is a great feature especially for my thick hair.

After straightening my hair I was very pleased. My hair was soooo straight and smooth. I normally have to use a little styling product to keep the frizz under control but with these the frizz was no more. Best of all my hair stayed straight all that day, all the next day and even the next!!
In fact my hair stayed straight untill I washed it!!

Never again will I buy GHD's I am a total Remington convert. These straighteners live up to all the hype and more!

Summary: GHD's can only try and compare to these.
