I bought these to try after a recommendation from my hairdresser that I try using straightners on my (short) hair. The ones she recommended were over £90 more expensive so I thought I'd give these a go instead rather than spend a huge amount on something that I may not get the use out of. These are first class, easy to use, do exactly what is needed, delivered quickly, and at a fraction of the cost of the female 'mini' straightners you can buy. Totally recommend these - the ridiculously low price may make you worry about the quality - but in a word - DON'T!!!
