Hair Straightners Part 2!

Hi guys

Ok, so this really applies to the UK people who, like me, can't get their head around this voltage malarky and are worried about hair straightners not working...

....I went to Boots today and found a pair of Babyliss straightners for £25! (MEGA BARGAIN!) and they have a voltage bracket of 110-240...so with a plug adaptor, they should work in the US....they may take longer to heat up than the 5 mins stated in the instructions, but technically they SHOULD work!! So yay....I've solved the problem...and if no-one else goes for them, then I have a pair so feel free to stop by my apartment to have a use!

oh, and I also found this hairspray that's supposed to be for anti-humidity.....

it's Charles Worthington Q&A FRIZZ Humidity Block Hairspray....

in case anyone's interested....

Thanks Ellen looks like im off to boots on Monday!!

My old straightners worked over there the last time, so think im going to take them as i know they work and not so sure on my new ones. My old ones are fine its just the spring in the handle broke but the plates work great ;D

Bet you can't belive you are going so soon
