Mrs Cueball has ceramic ones. Apparently they 'glide' over the hair better and so help to stop you burning it. Other than that - no idea.
Ceramic are good but use a straightning product as well to protect the hair. I got mine from a shop that supplies hairdressers, figure if they use them they must be ok.

Ooh yer asking the right girl here!!
Tried squillions (well at least 5 pairs) and the real best, bargain and do the job well are the Remington power ceramic - orange ceramic plates (s'in Argos i think). They are about £20 odd - soooooooo much cheaper than the 'glass plates' and wotnots at about £70 - the difference in what they do really isn't worth 50 quid IMHO.
I have the new Remington ones - called 2X protection - same again, really good.
Hope this helps!!!! Welcome to the world of little burns on yer temple and 'hot' fingers!!

get some ghd ones, best ones you can get
thanks for the advice - keep it coming! the ones my friend used were ghd but i think they cost the earth! looking back at the argos catalogue now
but worth it because they last and are the best you can get.
Both the Remingtons on this page are the ones I've mentioned xx

The wet to dry ones are really bad for your hair. You should see what they did to mine, I used them once and then had to get about 3 inches cut off my hair :shock: :shock: :shock:
I always straighten my hair, GHD (Good Hair Day) are the best but pricy and they come in different sizes, you can get the larger sizes on Ebay for about £80.

I bought a pair from a shop called wilkinsons, not sure if u have one there, they were only 20 quid, there ceramic , and better than the previous pair i paid 50 quid for.
Good luck, and happy straightening!!!!!
GHD are one of the best but you'll be lucky to find them for under £80. Fudge have launched their own straighteners which are pretty good at about £40. Ceramic are essential, wet to dry are BAD and as Hornet said, a heat protection product is a must. I use something called TP Infatreat which is excellent but most haircare ranges have them.
I would say though, if you fine or dry hair, don't use straighteners on a daily basis. Two of my friends used them daily for about three months and their hair has really deteriorated in condition. Also, if you have them on the high setting, DON'T touch the hair immediately after as you can burn your fingers! Buy a stand for them too, that way you won't worry about setting them down while they're on!!
I borrow my daughters straightners they were from argos, carmen girls. Cheap but do the job.
My hairdresser has told me there is a new product that can be washed into your hair and keeps it straight untill it grows out. Am thinking of trying it out.

my sister had that done nealfiona...to her hair costs about 200 quid, but well worth it, if u really want straight hair, hers was natrual curls for years, now really straight she loves it.
My advice is to go for the very best you can afford - definitely ceramic, very thin and different temperature levels.
I got mine more than a year ago so they're pretty out-dated now. Morphy Richards, £90 and worth every penny.
Apparently glass ones are all the rage now but i've never seen a hairdresser use them.
ive got ghd ones and there brill
I use the GHDs and according to all around me they are THE best. They are really good and do the job brilliantly.... but beware.....
....... they get SOOOO bloody hot I keep burning my head!!! And watch out for steam burns too if you haven't dried your hair properly. And if your really clumsy like me when you squeal from burning your head you loosen your grip and stupidly catch them by the plates!!!!! :censored: :censored: :censored:
You have been warned....
i have the same remington ones, and they are great... I got mines for £25 quid and they are better than my flatmates £100 ghd's. Also Loreal Hot and Straight straightening cream is really good. Try using this and Dove shampoo and Conditioner and I bet your hair will be looking great... XXX
