But I should (hopefully, they are expensive) be getting some GHD ones that are the King of straightners, and go over 200
Thank you as well Zeldy. I saw a ghd one today that goes up to 232, which is pretty high (and scary). Burning my fingers is what scares the hell out of me... that, and maybe burning my ear or neck.

Repeating 2 times a day sounds very... exhausting! So to get my hair perfectly straight I have to mix both up? Thats the way to go?

I wanna get some shape to my face as my face is quite thin (no fat or anything) and I have a really sharp jawline and cheekbones. I wanna try and get some sort of definition to it as at he moment, when i go out my hair is tied back. If I let it loose, it just gets very scruffy.
It depends on what type of hair you have. The only reason I have to straighten mine so much is due to being really thick and wavy. It is exhausting Which is why I only wash it every 3 days, as its just too much to do every single night, especially school nights.

Ive never burnt my neck or ears, not with straightners. Sometimes the Blow dryer does, but you just gotta ignore it. Its the same if you go the hairdressers.
You get used to it.
