Amazon has reduced the price of a pair of hair straighteners that customers claim are 'just as good' as GHD and Cloud Nine. Some even argue they're "even better" than these two well-known brands. The online retail giant has lowered the price of the Faszin Professional Hair Straighteners from £149.99 to only £39.99, allowing shoppers to save £110 due to the 73% discount. These straighteners are available in three colours - black, white, and pink - but only the black version has received a price cut. As stated in the product description: "Titanium plate is 150% smoother than ceramic, making styling easier. Featuring HeatShotZ heating technology and an MCH heater, it heats up to 180°C in just 30 seconds. With 10 million negative ions/cm³, it enhances hair shine by 23% and smoothness by 28%, while also reducing frizz. You will achieve sleek hair that lasts." If you're looking for a new pair of hair straighteners, there are other offers to consider. Boots is selling the Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener S8500 for just £30.99, down from £79. Superdrug has slashed the price of the BaByliss Smooth Pro 235 Hair Straighteners from £80 to £40. However, Amazon's Faszin Professional Hair Straighteners have received an impressive number of five-star ratings, according to the Daily Record. So far, customers have rated the Faszin Professional Hair Straighteners 4.7 stars out of five, with 80% of the 2,572 global reviews being five-star ratings. Most users report that these hair straighteners provide salon-quality results at home and are especially effective for naturally curly hair. They say the iron heats up quickly and features adjustable temperature settings. It is also easy to use and offers smooth plates that glide through hair. One person wrote: "I was sceptical—very sceptical! I'm a GHD girl, but I have 3 pairs that have broken within weeks and no longer trust them. I needed a cheaper alternative, so I purchased these after reading the reviews. "I have coarse, thick hair, prone to frizz. I didn't hold out much hope but was desperate. Boy, was I wrong! These work! It usually takes me upwards of 30 mins to straighten my hair; these cut it down by almost half. I can't believe how good they are, and at a quarter of the price of 'the trusted' ones! Well worth the money, 100% work some kind of wizardry!" Another said: "Hair is left silky smooth, even after one pass over my hair. Really pleased with these, as I've had GHDs in the past and these much cheaper ones are just as good if not better." A third said: "Wow... I've had GHDs, cloud nines and these top them all! Very impressed." One satisfied customer shared: "Used them a couple of times now and have been very impressed. I have a lot of hair and these straighten it no bother even at the 180° setting. I only got them as a backup in case my GHDs broke but have actually preferred them." Another confessed: "Honestly changed from ghds to these." A third put: "Gone from years of GHDs to these and am I glad I did... These make my hair feel beautiful, more soft, shiny." However, not everyone was pleased. One disgruntled buyer claimed: "Cannot get them to work, brought them for a wedding and couldn't use them." Another complained: "Leaves hair smelling singed." A third voiced: "Hair gets pulled, it doesnt slide that easily. Will be returning it." A fourth said: "I bought this less than a year ago - and it's already finished." Despite some negative feedback, the majority of reviews were glowing. One happy shopper said: "Bought these to replace GhDs because of the price. I have to say I have been blown over how good they really are they create a really smooth finish. Highly recommend these." A second said: "Amazing straighteners!! I got these on sale and they work just as good as my GHDs if not better, my hair is less frizzy and stays straight for longer!" Another said: "Good straighteners and I did manage to straighten my thick curly hair quickly." Someone else said: "Wow just wow. Best straighteners I have ever used." Another said: "These straighteners are insane! I’ve had expensive popular brands before but they don’t come close to these."
