I have just had these straighteners for my birthday - whooppee! the pair I had before had become rubbish - don't reckon they were any good in the first place!

These straighteners come with heat mat which you can also use to wrap around the straighteners whilst travelling. They also come with four hair clips but my hairs fairly thick and I find these just don't hold all my hair up, I tend to use a hair band to tie my hair up letting it down a bit at a time to straighten it.

The straighteners have 10 settings which is great so if your hair is thin you can have it on a lower setting but if it's thick like mine you can have it on a higher setting although becareful it's really hot! They heat up really quickly which is great and I managed to staighten my hair in 10mins which is great.

I use a pre-heat treatment before using which is advisable to avoid heat damage to your hair.

These straighteners are also supposed to be able to curl, I have heard it takes a bit of getting used to but is possible, I had a quick go but got confused what I was doing looking in the mirror!

I like the look of these straighteners as well, they have ceramic plates and are easy to use.

Although these were a gift, I know they were about £30 could've have been in the sale I'm not sure. I have seen them on ebay for £40.

The mains lead is long which is useful, I often find with hair dryers and straightners the lead is too short and I have to sit right next to the socket! so this was a plus.
