CHEAP yet effective hair straighteners - do they exist?

I want to get some of these for my sister but I don't want to spend a lot of money on them like GHD ones. Are any of the budget ones suitable for occasional use?

Yes.. I have had these from the same Ebay seller 3 times now.. not because they wear out quickly but because everything around me breaks.. nothing lasts long in this house!

I have had GHD as well.. and these are as near as dammit..

But cod... you posted without a single error!! Are you Ok?

Yes they are great honestly. When I had genuine article GHDs my friend got some at the same time.. about 4 years ago now!.. and she still has hers! She despairs of me..!

When I break some I just get on Ebay and re-order them on Buy It Now.. and they come in a couple of days (during which time I wear a baseball hat... )

I don't know.. same as with everything I suppose.. because other firms get good at copying styles of products. I just want straight hair.. sod brands!

Hi if these don't come through then I have some Mark Hill ones - really good, christmas present to myself last year, used about 3 times as my hair is too short for them really. Have box,instruction etc etc as new.They've been bugging me for ages to get around to selling them.

I'm pretty sure these are the ones (can't do links, sorry)-

make me an offer if you're interested / still need them!
