Hair-care goods are women's favourite inventions

London: Hair-Straighteners have been named the best-ever invention, according to a new poll.

Hair irons, that make your hair smooth and straight within minutes, has earned the maximum number of votes from women in a poll by retailer Comet, who quizzed 1,500 people for the survey.

The mobile phone got the second spot in the ‘She-Gadgets Top Ten’ list, and the laptop was voted the third best gadget.

The hair-dryer bagged the fourth place while the TV remote rounded off the top five.

For the men, the top spot was pegged by the mobile phone, followed by the Sky TV box and iPod.

“It’s women who are traditionally thought of as being great gossips on the telephone,” The Sun quoted a spokesman for Comet, as saying.

“The Sky box is less of a shock as it offers great sport content,” he added.
