I have had my ghd hair straighteners for a good few years now, probably a lot longer than most but I am now thinking of buying a new pair as I am not convinced they are as good as they used to be. Now although I am a fan of ghd’s I thought I should have a look at what else is out there.

Babyliss has their new Pro Radiance which is supposedly very quick to heat up and comes in a matching pink bag which also acts as a heat mat but the only thing is it looks a lot more bulky than my ghd’s.

Mark Hill offers Smooth and Shine Ceramic Style which is dubbed as your own personal stylist, but I reckon that is a bit of an overstatement! The back body and fuchsia pink magnetic plates did catch my eye and a bit cheaper than ghd’s may be a contender.

Nutriheat is not a brand I have really heard of but apparently the Nutriheat straighteners are all about tackling the damage caused to your hair by straightening it. They contain a heat activated formula that releases shine inducing silk proteins while straightening. However they are much more bulky which I don’t really want a even though my hair could do with protecting.

Although I am a bit drawn to the Mark Hill stylers I still think I will probably stick with ghd after all I haven’t had any problems with my current ones and if the new ones last just as long I don’t mind the hefty price tag.
