Amazon is offering a massive 73% discount on the Faszin Professional Hair Straighteners, dropping the price from £149.99 to just £39.99 in a limited-time deal. This represents a saving of £110, and Amazon notes it is the lowest price in 30 days.
Features and Technology
The straighteners feature extra smooth titanium plates and HeatSyncX temperature compensation technology, which helps maintain even heat from root to tip. HeatShotZ technology and an MCH heater allow the tool to reach 180°C in about 30 seconds. With 11 adjustable temperature settings from 130°C to 230°C, it suits various hair types, from fine to thick and curly. An LED display shows the exact temperature in real time.
To reduce frizz, the straighteners release up to 10 million negative ions per cubic centimetre, aiming for smoother, shinier hair. The ion function can be turned on or off based on preference. The 42 x 110mm floating plates provide about 85% more styling surface than many standard straighteners, cutting styling time in half for longer or thicker hair. The flexible 3D floating plates move with the hair to minimise snagging.
Additional Features
Other features include automatic shut-off after 30 minutes, worldwide voltage compatibility for travel, a storage lock, and a 2.2-metre 360-degree swivel cord for comfortable styling from any angle.
Customer Reviews
The Faszin Professional Hair Straighteners have earned a 4.5 out of 5-star rating from nearly 3,000 Amazon reviews. One delighted buyer said: 'I have tried other brands before (only ever use ghd normally but wanted a cheap set for work) and these are amazing. I have bought four sets of these now. As good as ghd but a fraction of the price if you get them on promotion price.'
Another wrote: 'These are brilliant. It doesn't take long to straighten my long hair. Well worth buying. I got them when they were on offer so that’s a big bonus.' A third reviewer stated: 'Brilliant, best straighteners ever. Heat up really fast, leave your hair silky smooth without frizz. I highly recommend these. Absolute bargain.'
However, not all feedback was positive. One customer removed a star: 'Sounded great but disappointing. I would have got the same results from a cheap straightener.' Another noted: 'These were great to begin with, they got really hot and straightened hair well. After a few weeks they don't get as hot anymore.'
Alternatives
For those considering alternatives, the Remington PROluxe Hair Straightener in Pink costs £90 at Argos and features nine temperature settings with a 15-second heat-up time. For ghd loyalists, Lookfantastic offers the ghd Original Hair Straightener at £149, described as a cult classic.
