Kodo Hair Straighteners work very well on thick and curly hair. I've only had mine for 1 1/2 years and the electrical connection has become faulty. I only use them once a month and can do without them so I will not be buying another pair! Not impressed!

Love it to bits! I've had my Kodo for nearly 5 years and its still perfect! I'm never buying any other brand! Not even a GHD. Heats to 210 degrees and works brilliantly.

Bought these cordless Kodo Mikado straighteners off ebay last week. Have been using them everyday and am well impressed! They have three heat settings but on my thick curly hair I need the hottest setting (210 degrees). They get that hot that you can see a little bit of steam come off your hair when first used, obviously not the best for your hair but what I need to get mine straight! They have lasted me a week and now need recharging (3hours) which is pretty good going I'd say! I'm using these for Glastonbury Festival and think these are my best investment ever! Would highly recommend!

I have tried many straightners and have never gone back to buy the same make twice untill now.
I highly recomend Kodo!! i can find no faults.

I've had my straighteners for at least 5 years n they still work perfectly fine! Best investment I have made as I had previous makes before I got my kodo ones and they didn't leave my hair as poker straight as they do!!

I have had 2 pairs of Kodo hair straighteners in 3 years. Both broke out of the warranty period. I probably only use them 2 or 3 times a week. My daughter has had 2 pairs in under 2 years, and her first pair broke after only 4 months, but these were replaced free of charge. She uses hers daily. She has now bought a Babyliss pair, which were much cheaper. I don't think I am likely to buy another pair of Kodo's because they just don't last. The problem seems to be the flex.

I got the Kodo Hair Straighteners as a present in November, and the cable has nearly snapped. They are nowhere near as good as GHD, which I have borrowed before off friends (even if GHD wreck your hair).
They are good for longer hair.

I have owned my straighteners for over 4 years and they still work perfectly.

Overall, I love Kodo hair straighteners. I have been promised that the 2008 model are the best, with no faults.

I was fortunate enough to be given these straighteners as a goodwill gesture to trial and I am informed that they will soon be available to buy.
I cannot really comment about durability as I have not had the straighteners for long enough but reluctant to give the product low rating!

I had Kodo straighteners for 3 years and they worked perfectly, right up until I dropped them and the plates broke. If you have thick or curly hair they are great and the style stays for ages.

My friend had Kodos and she straightened my hair a her house once and it stayed straight for ages. Then when I was at my other friends house I straightened my hair with GHDs and after 1 night my hair was wavy where as with the Kodos my hair stayed straight until I washed my hair again. I was going to buy GHDs but now I am going to buy Kodos instead because I think they are better than GHDs. People always think that GHDs are better but they never give any other straightners a chance, if they did it could save them a lot of money.

These are first class straighteners!
I have thick wavy hair, and with my Kodo's it stays poker straight for days. I've used my mums GHD's, and I had to straighten it again between washes. Kodo hair straighteners are best!

Kodo's are a generally brilliant. Great price, much cheaper than GHD's. I had been looking for a good pair of hair straighteners that worked on my extremely thick hair for a while now, so it was a big relief to find some that worked.

I had my Kodo Hair Straighteners for 3 years, and I had no problems. They offer exactly the same performance as the GHD hair straighteners.

I got Kodo straighteners bought for me Christmas 2003, I am on this site looking to but a new one because I have stood on them and broken them. after over 2 years of use they were still in perfect condition. All my friends have GHD's but they all prefer to use my Kodos because they are better!!!

Overall, they do what the Kodo Hair Straighteners are supposed to do, my friends all have GHD's and personally I find they have much the same result on my hair as the Kodo's. I struggled to straighten the back of my hair because of the length of the plates and the angles required. They cost me 100 pounds but the plates don't peel like other brands and I have had them for nearly 2 years so I think I've had my money's worth! Although I'm considering the Remingtons next...

I was bought a pair of Kodo straighteners 2 years ago and loved them to death!! Unfortunatly I have lost them last week whilst moving! (as you can imagine my life is a nightmare without them!!) I have borrowed a friends pair of (cheaper) straightners and they are just not the same!! I have never experienced any problems with Kodo and am currently looking for another pair the same as I am reluctant to spend money on another brand as in my expeience none really match the quality you get with these!! Even GHD don't seem to do quite as good a job in my opinion.
