Hair staightners for men

R.Rated

Does anybody know where i can get a cheap hair straightner in Dublin City centre

I presume men can use the same as women… if so a brilliant hair straightener is the GHD. You can only get it from Peter Marks Hairdressers. Otherwise if you want a cheaper one, I had a Remington “ceramic” straightener which I bought in Sam McCauleys chemist in Greystones for about 30 euro I think. You can get this from Argos or other chemists in Dublin too.

There is a ghd which is smaller than the regular one that i'd say would be good. That tony and guy one another poster recommended looks good and cheap too.

Argos have a heap cheap hair straighteners

Malteaser!

the smaller GHD is about 125e from Peter Marks.

women WILL notice if your hair has been GHD'd and WILL question your masculinity as a result

no they won't! I'd rather have a boyfriend with nice hair who is confident enough in his masculinity to use a GHD than one with horrible hair who is so afraid people will question your masculinity he won't do anything about it! Also, who says hes interested in women?

Damn right. I agree with this girlie. Nothing wrong with it at all. Looks good if you don't overdo it. And stick a bit of product in it, some kind of wax. Sorted. Couple up with a stonking pair of winklepickers, skinny jeans, decent tee and small leather jacket. **** it, yeah. All the girls will be after you, provided you're not too repulsive looking of course.

He he...I like that you used "stonking" and "winklepickers" in the same sentence. "Stonking pair of winklepickers", the phrase that pays.

Yeah, dahlin. Gotta keep it real..

I've the skinny GHD. A few of my friends use hair straighteners as well. They work, I guess, if you're hair is long enough. I just use it for creating spikier spikes. Looks good, methinks.

So do the fans.

God darn it - why can't men be men anymore!? GHD? Girlie Hair Day.

Killaqueen!!!

Agree with you completely.

I'm shocked at all the girls who are encouraging this poor lad.

funny, one of the guys i know was from west cork... if his hurling mates found out about it, it'd be hilarious!

Alternatively, Guy Hair Day.

Is your masculinity really so fragile that a mere hair straightener will take it away? I don't care if someone straightens their hair or not, but I want them to be comfortable enough to do it if they feel like it.

It annoys me when people say it's "gay looking" - ponceyness is not solely the preserve of the homosexual man. But yeah, ponceyness is seriously unattractive. I don't want a macho wanker but I do like a "manly" man who's confident enough in his masculinity to not have to make homophobic jokes, but who's also confident enough in his masculinity to not have to resort to fashion fads. And the fact that hair straightening is considered an "indie" thing - my god, "indie" has certainly lost its original meaning...

In conclusion....Gay Hair Day.

Having owned both, and not being afraid to admit it, the thinner one is much better for guys hair imo.

The thinner one should be easier to carry in your man-bag, just make sure both
are co-ordinated with the Uggs you're wearing.

I bought the thinner one a good while ago. Used it for a while, to be honest I just got too lazy and my hair is a lot shorter now.

Don't really how see how sexuality enters into it, its a hair straightener. It just straightens hair.

Dudess

It's not "gay" but it's girlie. There are enough women in the world obsessed with their appearance, I'd rather a guy who won't be fighting with me for the mirror.

You're not using your imagination!

it's the cheapest place i know to get them, and get the ghd mini styler, have it ages, solid piece of kit.
If it makes you look better and you want to, use it and don't give a **** what others think. Any negative comments are normally either out of their own insecurity or that they want you

Haha yup... It's easier to fit in my gym bag. There's alot of national weightlifting titles, records and trophies all fighting for room in there too so any extra space I can save helps!!

I find the insecurity around this whole issue hilarious. It seems to be the guys who don't use them calling them "gay" even more than the girls. How insecure...

I'm happy enough knowing that I'm not gay, I don't think I should let my hair just fall whatever way it does out of the shower to prove it. How is straightening your hair any different to putting gel in it anyway? In both cases you're trying to get it into a style it doesn't naturally sit in.

Anyway, mini rant over with.

No, girly guys are just not attractive.

Are all guys who use a straightener "girly" in their appearance?

Are all guys who DON'T use a straightener rugged and "manly"?

Dudess

It's not the appearance, it's the act of doing it in the first place.
