To help keep her hair looking and sleek and stylish at the World Cup final in the high winds, Gabby Logan relied on a pair of cordless straighteners that are now under £70
During Sunday night’s World Cup final, Gabby Logan made history as the first woman to present a men’s World Cup final, and for the occasion she opted for a sophisticated look that included a slick back ponytail that was as practical as it was stylish. Her hair stylist Melissa Bourne revealed that they hadn’t originally planned for a slicked back look, but the high winds in the commentators box meant they had to pivot before she went on screen.
Melissa also revealed that a handy styling device had saved the day, showing off the Revamp Liberate Cordless Compact Ceramic Hair Straightener on Instagram and saying: “The stadium was like a wind tunnel! So pony was the only option. Thank you Revamp for this handy portable straightener! Very useful especially when we didn’t have power getting ready!”

The straighteners are great for taking on holiday or to festivals, and are even handy for keeping in your bag if your hair needs a touch up after commuting to work or heading out to dinner. Boots has also just slashed the price of them down from £99.99 to £69.99, saving you £30.
The Revamp Liberate Cordless Straighteners are completely cordless and rechargeable, and offer up to 30 minutes of consistent styling on a single charge, which should be plenty of time for most hair styles. They can be used to straighten, smooth, and even create waves or curls just like your everyday straighteners, and have been designed with cushioned floating plates to minimise split ends and damage.
And although they’re probably a more simple, straight-froward version of the straighteners you use at home, they still offer three adjustable temperature settings ranging from 160°C to 210°C. This means you can change it depending on how thick or fine your hair is, and they use AI heat control to regulate the temperature 100 times a second to prevent damage.
If you plan on using them on the go, the Revamp Liberate Cordless Straighteners have an ultra-fast heat up and cool down design so you can literally whip them out to touch up a single section of hair if you want. They also come with a heat-resistant pouch, charging cable, travel lock and worldwide voltage, so you can use them anywhere at any time.
If you’re after something even more affordable to keep in your bag or suitcase, the Love My Hair Re-Chargeable Hair Straightener is just £49.99 also at Boots. For a more technical pick, the Jose Eber Cordless Hair Straightener is £180 at Selfridges, and has a long-life battery span, digital temperature controls, auto-shut off, and tourmaline ceramic floating styling plates.
