My GHD’s are about 8 years old and not so effective, I try not to straighten my hair too much, but sometimes it’s needed. What’s everyone’s view on the best hair straightener at the moment? Just had a look online and it’s defo more of a minefield now.

Can't help but make it worse I had to replace my years back and the new ones I got im still getting used to they are too light weight compared to old ones etc. I would reccomend if boots still have some on display to have a lift and a feel.
What did you get? My current ones aren’t that heavy not sure what model they are. Not sure my boots stock decent hair tools
I just have Babyliss ones from Boots, pretty happy with them, costed around £30 down from £60 from memory. Had Remington ones before that, they were not so good.
I only use my for styling though, don’t know how good they would be at actually straightening curly hair.

I still use my GHD's. I'm thinking of getting the new Dyson straighteners when these eventually break.
GHD all the way 
I found the Trevor Sorbie one very good, didn't frazzle my hair, or look like I took an ironing board with an iron to straighten hair out.
I’ve heard so many good things about these!
Would you say they are a lot better than your ghds?
I got these about a year ago. they was cheaper than this on a boots offer. didnt see them before hand. Just gave my mum a choice of three she choose these because they hand the most money off at the time. I used to have Rimingtons ones before what wasnt as expensive and felt better made dad couldn't fix because of a wire fault (have to break straighters pay for something then no guarantee they would go back together) but they were a good 10year plus old

I had a pair a long time ago rip went away for a weekend left them in hotel room got home phoned up apparently room cleaning service staff didnt see themAfter reading this I realised my GHDs are 12 years oldStill going strong but I probably only use them about once a month.
Mine are actually ok, and haven’t been over used in the last few years but I am so anal with my hair. It’s long and bleached so damage is always a worry.After reading this I realised my GHDs are 12 years old
Thank you!
I felt they ‘glided’ smoother than GHD! Also liked the adjustable temp, I curl my hair a lot and feel they give a better lasting curl
I have BaByliss ones that cost like 30quid - I had GHDs before but my hair is fine and I keep it short, plus dont actually wear it straight (use mine for curling and loose waves) so I didn't see the point in spending the money. I imagine they are worthwhile though if have long, thick or curly hair.
Another vote for Cloud Nine after previously having had GHDs.
I have a Cloud Nine pair and I prefer them to GHDs.
