These were on offer in Tesco for £35 and my other straighteners had just blown up - I thought there was no way they would be any good but as I have frizzy hair to tame on a daily basis I bought them and I'm absolutely thrilled with them! They have a little spinning disc which you can change depending on the thickness of your hair, this alters the temperature of the straighteners so that if you have really thin hair you are not blasting them with 220 degree heat! They heat up even faster than GHD's but dont seem to burn as much as GHDs do. They also have a switch themself off function which is great if you accidentally leave them on (although I obviously dont recommend you do that!). Seems to take a while for them to switch off but I would be annoyed if I wanted to use them for a long time and they kept switching off.

Overall, definite rival for GHD's. MY hair feels just as soft and smooth and if anything, less damaged! Great bargain and totally worth the gamble!
