I absoloutly love these straighteners! My mum has ghds which I sometimes use, and these do just as good a job as them for so much cheaper! I could never afford ghds but these do the job perfectly for a fifth of the price of the cheapest ghds. It works for all hair types and comes with a heat proof mat. They also heat up in 15 seconds (faster then my mums ghds) even to 230 degrees. I can't think of anything I don't like about them and even though I have only had them a very short time, I would definitely recommend them to my friends. I read lots of reviews of other straighteners and these had better comments then other, more expensive straighteners. V. impressed. A great buy, I would definitely get them over other products out there.
