GHD and Muster are supposed to be good brands (the ceramic versions).

I JUST BOUGHT A GHD, WAS EXPENSIVE BUT IM HAPPY COZ THE AMOUNT I SPENT AT HAIR DRESSERS WAS CRAZY AND NOW IT LOOKS nicer (just realise caps was on) woops..

i have reasonably long hair and it takes 10 mins to do

GHD is like the God of hair straighteners, if you want to fork out $300

but basically, just get whatever you can afford...try and get one with ceramic plates and variable temperature control though.

Ceramic Musters are pretty good...but I dont care what they say, the ceramic still burns your hair.

GHD is shockingly expensive. My friends sister has one, and she gets the GHD products aswell, which are fucking expensive. I dont belive in hair straighteners. Ive never used one. I dont intend on using one. My hair is sometimes wavey, but i just leave it. Or put in some mousse to make my hair heavy, then it will go straighter.

u'd use a GHD (or similar) for that BreaKing.. you cant use the larger straighteners because u are very likely to burn ur head

a small ceramic straightener will do the trick - i know a few guys that do it

GHD= Good Hair Day, their about $300

However, if you go to any department store, you should be able to find "slimline" hair straighteners, any of those would do the trick

Straight hair is out. It looked crap anyway.

Natural straight is alright, but seriously, that dead straight just doesn't look good. Your hair looks and feels like a broom.

It would depend on your hair...I have rather fine hair so I bought a $55 Remington Straightener from BIGW and that makes my hair deliciously smooth and its ceramic. I didnt need to buy an expensive one but if you have thick curly hair buy one of the heavey duty staighteners as they would obviously work better on your hair
