  Review of John Lewis Mini Hair Straighteners (part of a set)

  Features

     

  1 setting,  Ceramic plates, storage bag and heat pad,  Universal voltage, weight; 100g, flex length 174cm, max temp 164°C, 1.12 minutes to heat to maximum.

   

  Comments

  Easy to use and comfortable, needs to pass over hair a few times to achieve results, a bit to small for someone with a lot of hair, it would take a very long time to straighten a whole head of hair.  Good for touch ups.
