I'm so thankful that I live in an age where straighteners are available. Seriously, I don't know what people did before straighteners came along. They are one of my favourite and most reliable pieces of equipment in terms of trying to tame my otherwise ridiculously wavy and generally unflattering natural hair. My weapon of choice in amongst an ocean of straightener competitors is the FHI Heat Platform Straightener. This is the straightener that my hairdresser used when I was 16 and absolutely sick of my rubbish hair. I was so pleased with both the style and the look of my straight hair that I went back to the hairdressers the next day and bought one from them there and ..  Read the complete review

Oh my goodness what did I do before my FHI's. I have naturally curly hair but please don't befooled into thinking that my hair has perfect curls I have to work very hard to have my hair looking acceptable whether I want it curly or straight. My hair is quiet frizzy, it does not matter if I blow dry it professionally or if I use top of the range frizz ease brands when my hair is dry it starts to frizz. When I started to straighten my hair it was always a battle and a long drwn out process. When I had just about given up my hairdresser introduced me to FHI's.

I have had these straighteners in pink for six years and am happy to say that they are still working perfectly.

My hairdresser first recommended them to me when GHD's were first becoming popular and I had asked him to order me some GHD's. He told me they were the same thing and GHD was just a brand; I wasn't convinced at first, but now wouldn't have anything else. The price is so reasonable compared to GHD's and they have outlived many of my friend's GHD's. I like them so much that I bought the black pair for my mum soon after I bought mine and ...  Read the complete review

Hello everyone just wanted to tell you my experience on these hair straightners, i brought these about 5 years ago from ebay, think they cost me about £60 at the time when GHD were really big and costing in excess of £100. I ordered them and whilst i waited for my delivery i was at my hairdressers and decided to ask them what the difference was between FHI and GHD, the hairdresser hadn't heard of them so she went and asked another who said that FHI was just a cheap copy of GHD hence why the price difference. After a couple more days of waiting my hair straightners finally arrived. So they look good they have variable heat control 60°C (140°F) to 230 °C ...  Read the complete review
