Hair Straighteners

I think I'm ready to replace/upgrade my trusty reliable GHD wide plates that I have had 20 years! They work perfectly well but my DD is always using them so it's a bit of a comical battle.

So what are the best ones (can budget for most) for longish, thick, coarse hair. My hair can't decide whether it's straight, wavy or curly, it's different all over. It's a frizzy mess left to dry naturally or looks like I've been electrocuted if blow dried. In saying all this it's in a very healthy condition.

Any suggestions? And sorry if this has been done to death but my hair is a pain for me,not my hairdresser though she works wonders- thank you Caz 😉

You've put this in alcohol support?

No idea! I definitely had Style and Beauty selected. I'm using the app and this has happened before. I don't even follow this subject. I'll ask doe it to be moved. Sorry all!

Yeah it’s in alcohol support!

I have wide plate Remington ones that I was only planning as a temp measure til I could afford cloud 9s. However they are fab and I’ve never bothered with more expensive ones.

I use Diva with wide plates. Best I’ve used after Remington and GHD. I have long thick hair.
