... like mine. I left them to heat up for about ten minutes as instructed, and then tried straightening a small chunk of hair. All that happened was that the lock looked slightly smoother afterwards - but it still turned upwards at the end as if nothing had happened to it at all. I left them to heat up for a bit longer, tried again and eventually gave up. Although I had succeeded in making my hair look presentable enough to go out in public, the results were far below what I would expect and would never be good enough i...more

Avoid, avoid, avoid! I wish this is what someone had told me before I wasted £15 (ok, I know it's not that bad) on these straightners in Superdrug. I was lulled by the sleek look and cheap price - they reminded me of something you would see stylists using in hair salons, so I stupidly thought they might work like that too. But no. I'm not sure how these things made it into the shops, as they don't even get hot enough to straighten hair, especially when it's thick and stubborn like mine.

I bought these straighteners as they seemed to be excellent value for money. Not having the excess cash for a pair of GHD's, I thought all straighteners would be the same or thereabouts. I was wrong. This was my first ever pair of straighteners. At £9.99 in TJ Hughes, I thought I had got a steal as they had an RRP ticket on of £29.99. And at first, they were absolutely great. The only initial problem I had is that the supposed blue light to tell you they had heated up sufficiently didn't work, or rather, worked intermittently. As this was not a fundamental feature of the straighteners, I didn't worry too much. For the first few weeks I was using ... Read the complete review
