It’s Fashion Week preparation time and these little babies above are going to be one of the first things I pack !!
Sooooooo, to give a bit of context – last Christmas, after re-Keratin treating my hair, I decided to invest some of my hard-earned cash in a good pair of straighteners / styling irons. My first point of call was of course GHD – it’s all anybody mentions – but then I found out that LABELM (Toni&Guy’s brainchild) had just released a brand new, swanky pair of white titanium styling irons.
Truth be told, this an expensive purchase, so I wanted to be sure my money would get me the best option, I needed to research. I set about investigating the matter.
The GHD ones are industry tried and tested and these from LABELM are still pretty new on the market so it was a bit hard to find reviews. A couple of hair stylists who had already used them in salons told me they had found them pretty nifty.
Then came the specs comparison – I LOVED the fact that the temperature setting is adjustable, something other straighteners, including ghd don’t always have – my hair is pretty fine so too much unnecessary heat can really damage it and if it’s just a quick iron in the morning – there’s no need for too much heat.
- The price was another favourable point – simply put – they’re cheaper.
- The white option is really clean and pretty but it also comes in a black finish
- I love the heat mat pouch it comes with, I’m always worried I’m going to burn something.
As you’ve probably guessed, I ended up buying the LABELM ones, I’ve been really enjoying using them – the operation is really smooth, my hair never gets stuck, they heat up really quickly and oh yes – they straighten my hair pretty well too.
The only thing I don’t like, is that they’re big and it’s a bit hard to get at my little baby hair – I’ve hit myself in the head a couple of times trying to achieve this. They now need to launch version 2 – a little mini one which will sit prettily right next to this one, to be picked up when its time to get at those little ‘uns.
