Decent hair straightners under £100?

Had GHDs for years. In fact they were hand me downs and still going strong but DD has stolen them from me.

I can't bring myself to pay that much for new ones.

I ordered these but absolutely hate them.

I just want similar to GHD ceramic ones but not as expensive.

I got GHD’s recently on Vinted they’d barely been used.

Remington ones are excellent. I know loads of people who swapped to those from GHDs. They’re about £30

I got my GHDs on a prime day deal for £75. Prime day is coming up again soon, it’s well worth checking.

My favourites are my cloud nine wide plates but I keep a pair of Remington shine therapy ones at DH house and they’re just as good. I think they were about £25 from boots. They have adjustable heat settings and heat up very quickly. They also have a decent long flex on then too. For the price they’re great

The ones I got were remmington and I thought they were awful

Ooh! Yes, might be worth waiting in case.

Also have the Remington Shine Therapy set and really rate them. I have the wide plates and they’re about £25 on Amazon at the moment.

Have a look on Amazon resale. I’ve just bought a GHD Rise from GHD store on Amazon labelled as open box for £105. Just a return but they are normally 150-180

I got these, the slim ones for £20 and they are actually really good.

They do feel a bit cheap (they are cheap) and they don't feel like GHDs but I can't deny they do a good job.

The snob in me is still wanting to look at GHDs in the primeday sale but my sensible brain says to keep the £20 ones!
