Wednesday 15th January: Straighteners

The obvious connotations of the phrase straightening my hair are those of slicked down, lank, thin hair, dead and burned ends, and a general Joe Jonas look circa 2008. 

However, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. I got my straighteners as an 11th birthday present from my mum. They still remain the most expensive 'beauty item' that I own, but this year is my sixth year of owning them.  I like the versitility of having straighteners, as I can use them to curl my hair also, and I can change from my normal mane to an overall smarter, and prettier, sleek look.
