Anyone who straightens their hair regularly knows how big the difference can be between a budget buy and a proper, well-rated pair. Not only does it affect ease of use – how quickly the gadget heats up and how many times you have to pull it through your hair – but it can also have a huge impact on the quality of your locks.
Well, if you were after a really impressive set of straighteners, Amazon has a great deal live right now. It’s slashed the price of the Faszin Ionic Hair Straighteners from £129.99 all the way down to £39.99, an incredible 69% discount that surely won’t last too long, making these premium straighteners rather affordable.
Faszin’s straighteners have really rapid heating-up times that can see them get up to 180 degrees in just 20 seconds, so you won’t be waiting around. They also use titanium plates for a super-smooth pass through your hair, and really impressive shininess afterwards. Best of all, there’s a little LCD display to let you see the temperature of the plates, which you can control, to ensure that you use the right level for your hair.
Underlining the quality of these straighteners are the reviews left behind by users on Amazon. Nearly 800 people have left ratings, which average out at 4.6 stars.
One person said: “I have only ever bought GHD straighteners for the past 15+ years so I dubiously bought these a few weeks ago. They are amazing and keep my hair straighter for longer. An absolute bargain too!”
Another wrote: “Although only using them for around two weeks early indications are very, very good. They do exactly what they are supposed to and my hair is responding. Not only that they are so easy to use and are extremely stylish.” A third customer said: “Brilliant straighteners. I don’t always straighten my hair it’s very rare. But saw these on offer and got them. Very very pleased!”
Others have been more critical, like one person who griped: “I’ve just tried these hair straighteners, they are good and don’t snag on your hair and they heat up very quickly but I have used other hair straighteners that are better.” Another added: “The lead isn’t long enough.”
If you want other options, you could check out the classic and well-loved ghd Original, although you’ll need to have a much bigger budget since they cost £139. For those who truly don’t have a limit on what they can spend, meanwhile, the Dyson Airstrait has a stellar reputation but comes in at an eye-watering £449.99.
