What Hair Straightener/Curler Do You Recommend I Buy?

Reason is that I'm buying for a complete newbie that wants to curl/straighten her hair.
Hair type: pretty straight,thick, long black hair
Got a budget of around $150 - $250.
Is it also necessary to get those heat shield spray for the hair?

At the moment I'm looking at these:
GHD Straightener Gold Classic Styler
Cloud Nine Touch Iron

Any Recommendations?

  • I have thick wavy hair that I wear straight all the time. The 2 I would personally recommend are cutek (can be used for travel as is allows for other votages and have variable heat settings) and GHD. If they are similiarly priced I would go GHD but I got the cutek really cheap and was fantastic for the price.

    • dang! GHD is the way to go then.

  • I'm a dude so I'm not qualified to comment, but every girl I know has a GHD!

    • haha. classic but true!

  • I wanted to buy a good one for my wife. She wanted a GHD. I went to about 5 different hair salons in the city and asked their opinion. Every single one said Cloud 9 was superior. Bought her a Cloud 9 and she is very happy.

    • I'll head in store to see if they have a Cloud 9. But seems GHD are everywhere!!

  • If you can find the Cloud Nine in your price range it is the best, much better than the GHD even. :)
    And if you want hair extensions these are tape ins and are the best quality!

  • As for me, GHD is better and goes beyond competition. But If you are looking for the best value for the money, you can check Monica's blog. She is the professional hairstyler and her experience and expert knowledge could be very useful to you.

    Concerning the question of hairspray, I would definitely go for the thermal protection. Cause, in any case, your hair will be exposed to the high temperature.

    Hope you'll find it helpful.

  • HI I'm also looking for a Straightener / Curler/Styler combo for my sis.
    (Would prefer multi - all-in-one tools, but if they do each job too crappy, then would just get dedicated ones.)

    I gather the general OZB consensus is Cloud Nine or GHD..?

    had a look at these no mention of them

    though they do give mention to some Dysons which have avg ratings for $600 devices .. pretty horrible imo
