OK, So they are cheap! What else do they do? Nothing? I've had mine for over a year now. I paid about £40 for them in Boots, I think. They do warm up quickly, so that is a good point.
Only ... They heat up so much that you can't touch them without burning your hand! They have this protective material where the Ceramic is, but it's a nightmare! You can't even put your hand anywhere near it without getting a blister.
Also, I have VERY thick hair, and when straightening it I get all sweaty and stressed. It never does what I want, and the BaByliss 2085U Pro 230 C Straighteners just make me lose my temper quicker ... First I section my hair, then I spray it with heat protector. Then my hands get hot and burn, and I start to lose my rag ... Then I realise I am late to go out because my hair will not go flat. So I go out ... with curly hair!!!
Overall, I think they're rubbish and a total waste of £40! I bought them, and I use my friends GHD's. They are fab! I am never late, and my hair is lush with the GHD's.
