GHD Mini Styler: I have had hair straighteners before but they didn't seem to work and I gave up on them, thinking my hair just wasn't suited to them. I now realise that the stylers I had were of poor quality and that it is definitely worth paying more.



I first discovered the mini styler whilst waiting for my brother to have his hair cut. I struck up a conversation with the stylist about the styler he was using and he called me over for a demonstration. I was so impressed with the results that I ordered mine that very afternoon.



The styler is designed for short hair or for men. But don't take any notice of that! I have pretty long and very thick hair and it works a treat for me. I can straighten my hair in about 10 minutes - it certainly saves me the bother of having to dry my hair straight with the hair dryer first. The advantage of the mini styler over the standard styler is the slimmer barrel which enables me to create ringlets or flicks just by twisting the styler on the way down the hair shaft.



It heats up in 7 seconds flat which is a life saver for me if I want to get my hair looking good 5 minutes before I leave the house. And it is so much better for your hair than the cheaper metal plate irons. The GHD website says it best (www.ghd.uk.com), "Seals in moisture and natural oils in the hair without drying and gives a fantastic smooth finish on those frizzy bad hair days!"



I don't know how my hair style survived before I purchased the ghd mini styler. It's my most prized vanity possession and I take it everyway. Because it's smaller, it's also much easier to pack.



At £80.95 r.r.p. it's a bit pricey but shop around on the net and you can find it cheaper. I think I bought mine for £71 brand new. And it was the best money I ever spent. You get what you pay for , and I think the styler is well worth investing in. I've had mine for over a year and, after several hundred uses it works as if it was still brand new - never disappointed! Would recommend to anyone.
