There’s plenty to be said for being fashionable – pair that with a great cause and you’re always on to a winning formula. There are scores of pink hair straighteners on the market, made by manufacturers hoping to cash in on the fashionable cause of breast cancer awareness.
Having said that, it’s important for consumers to know what they’re paying for – in some cases, as with GHD’s limited edition Pink straightener, a portion of the sale price goes to cancer research. With pink being the colour of the cause, it’s easy to see why GHD choose to make a special edition hair straightener associated with the charity. But, as the autumn approaches each year, plenty of other companies produce pink hair products, knowing people will buy them during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October – and not all those pink hair straighteners benefit the cause as people might think.
For others, the point isn’t making purchases that benefit a charitable organisation – the point of buying a pink hair straightener is to have a chic, stylish styling tool. For example, the FHI Pink Hair Straightener from Hair tools provides excellent value for money – excellent styling features, like a damp-to-dry option, super-fast heat up, IONIC infusion at nearly twenty times most leading straighteners and a sensible, bevelled plate edge for flexible styling. It’s pink, it’s a great tool and it’s under £100.
Popular pink hair straighteners, like those made by Babyliss, Corioliss and Kodo are available from a number of retailers both online and in high street shops. If you’re shopping for a cause, it’s important to know you’re getting what you pay for – so read descriptions thoroughly and if they don’t mention a charitable contribution, don’t assume one will be made. As always, when shopping online for hair straighteners, be sure you buy from reputable merchants with clear return and exchange policies to avoid disappointment.© Hair Straightener.org.uk 2007.
