A hair straightener is the most versatile tool in your styling cupboard, but not everyone wants to drop $500 on the lastest flashy version.

While the celebs and A-listers of the world can afford the pricey products weilded by star hairstylists, the rest of us love nothing more than to nab a bargain.

And there's nothing better than finding a holy grail hair straightener that leaves your locks smooth and sleek without costing an arm and a leg.

Not only can a good straightener give you pin-straight tresses (if that's your style), it can also create curls, waves and plenty of texture if you use it right.

A straightener can create chic, tousled looks like Anne Hathaway's hair in Cannes.

Think Anne Hathaway's 'just rolled out of bed but somehow still perfect' mane on the Cannes red carpet, but without the massive price tag.

Just make sure you invest in a silk pillowcase - like this one for just $75 from Hard To Find - to keep your style sleek and frizz-free until your next wash.

So if you don't already own one or the one you bought as a teen is on its last legs, shop our favourite affordable hair straighteners below.
