Best straighteners? Still GHD?

[arlagirl]

Growing my hair a little at the moment as part of my post divorce transformation into a butterfly
I've been using dd's ghds to just tame the ends and realise I need my own.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I prefer Coriolis C2 straighteners, and I've owned both brands.

Apparently the makers of GHD left and the quality has dropped dramatically and now they make cloud 9 straighteners which are apparently very good

Cloud 9's are the best I know of, like GHD's used to be.

I have some coriolis ones and they're very good indeed.

I always rated GHDs then the third pair broke and I was skint so bought babyliss freedom ones. I have naturally curly frizzy hair, and I swear these were better and quicker. Love them. I've since bought a different pair of babyliss, mini ones for after swimming when I'm working, they're fab too.

Honestly, anything with ceramic plates and enough heat (babyliss are 220 same as ghd I think) will do the job. My freedom ones were 24.00 and I remember being gutted having to buy them as I thought they'd be crap, but I was amazed. Had them three years and still working.

I've had Babyliss mini ones for travel and they did the job. Until I lost them

I have remmington ones and they are great. they have curved edges as well so you can curl as well as straighten with them. Adjustable temperature as well so i never get frazzled ends. £25 and far superior to my Dsis's GHDs

I love my cloud 9's, had them a couple of years and they're still great and going strong.

Cloud 9 are made by the guy who started (ie invented GHD). He sold the company and had to sign a waver of some sort to not make any straighteners for a certain period of time. Time period was up, now we have Cloud 9. They're great, but they're not cheap.

GHDs were really damaging to my fine hair. I have Divas now, they have argan plates and a temperature control, they're brilliant quality and I love them!

I've been through multiple pairs of ghds cause they kept breaking. Never again. Got diva ones which I loved but they gave up after two years and now am using coriolis ones mum got me for Christmas and they're brilliant. really seem to have improved my hair (im coloured blonde)

Wish I had seen this thread a few days ago! My trusty ancient ghd's are beginning to go, so treated myself to a new pair in coral - they look absolutely beautiful, but as soon as I started using them I could tell something wasn't right, I was going over the same bit of hair & it just wasn't straightening it properly. Fished my old pair out of the bin & did a comparison & the new ones just weren't doing a good enough job. So going to try & return them, & buy a pair of cloud 9's - just wish they came in pretty colours instead of basic black!

Handy to read this my ghd's died this evening. Just been looking at pages and pages of straighteners and am confused as to which to buy.
