I was recently sent some Stylerush straighteners to review and I wanted to see if they could act as a GHD replacement iron. Those plates of solid ceramic goodness have let me get my hair from soaking wet to pin straight in 20 minutes. I dry my hair with a blow dryer before I get my irons on it because if you don't your hair will hiss like a pissed off cat and it won't straighten well at all.
The Stylerush irons glide through my hair a bit too quickly, so much so that I feel that I have to do some bits twice. My GHD's seem a bit sturdier in that respect as they "clamp" down on my hair a bit more and straighten it perfectly in one swipe. I think because the GHD plates are thicker, they work through my thick, curly hair better. Neither iron snags my hair either which is always a good thing. Having said that, getting my hair straight with the Stylerush straighteners isn't always a pain. I only feel a bit wound up when I'm feeling lazy and wish they'd work with one swipe. Two/three swipes usually take the curl out properly.
