Angel Curls - Carmen Girls

Advantages: No strain on the purse strings! It's pink!
Disadvantages: Fiddly to use on hair at the back (but it's the same with similar appliances)

...dropping things. My little Angel has been a drop victim twice now! Both times on my slate bathroom floor and it's still in one piece! I also realise that some consumers may think that the tongs won't be as effective because they're cheap. Well, I can't really comment on other makes and models as these are the only ones I have ever used. But in my opinion, they are pretty darn good! So buy them and get curly girlies! ... Read review

Advantages: Creates cool curls! Looks nice and is easy to use.
Disadvantages: The curls don't stay in very long.

...kinda reminded you of an angel with a lovely curly ringlets - I mean, amazing. Anyway, that's what it reminded me of. Second was the look - very girly and pink. Lovely :) The price of 'Angel Curls' is either £19.99 or, if you buy it in the sales (or in a market or somewhere), it's usually around £14.99. Now, this is quite good for curling tongs (as some of you may know) which did make me wonder whether they were any good. I decided to wait and ask ...
...understand without feeling patronised) that Angel Curls is unlike anything else and it will take a bit of time to get the hang of using it. It really didn't take me that long though. You basically clip a section of your hair into place at the bottom of the barrel and wind it up. Then, you hold it for about 15-20 seconds, depending on the thickness of your hair, and unwind & unclip it! Simple. A beautiful bouncy ringlet! You repeat this with the rest ... Read review

Advantages: You get lovely curls, they're a good price
Disadvantages: Takes a lot of time

I first bought these curling tongs about three years ago. I had been looking for some decent tongs for a while as I was fed up of using hair rollers. I was instantly attracted to the carmen girls tongs; probably due to the fact that they were very pink and girly! I had read about them before though and I knew that Carmen was a good make. They looked fairly easy to use and they were a good price too, I think they were around £15. The tongs came in ...
...who has used the tongs; there are also some small diagrams which show you how to use them. Luckily inside the box there were some detailed instructions on how to use them. Before you use the tongs you need to fill the water reservoir with water; this then goes onto the end of the barrel, you have to give it a turn clockwise and then it fixes into place. Once you have done this you can plug it in and switch it on, when the heat-ready dot changes ... Read review

Advantages: luscious curls, cheap price
Disadvantages: curls dont stay in for long

...girls.com and they are called angel curls, they was an advertisement for these ages ago, some may think these are a bit juvenile but no matter what your age I feel that these curling tongs will provide luscious curls that you will love. The tongs themselves arrived and they are pink in colour with a curly barrel in the middle on the tong where you curl your hair, so here goes for my test run. Testing- I find that with my hair being straight when ...
...my hair better if my hair is a bit greasy, not like a chip pan, but not flyaway as the curls will just drop out. So firstly I have my dry greasy(ish) hair and I trap my hair in the end of the tong by pressing the button up and putting my hair in the tong. I then wind my hair around the barrel and then press the top of the tong for steam, leave it for two-three minutes and then I release the tong. I have a luscious curl, how fabulous! I then start ...

Advantages: The steam setting helps set the curl and the size of the curl is perfect
Disadvantages: A bit difficult to get the hang of to start with , especially if looking in the mirror!

...I saw the Carmen Angel Curls product on Boots.com for the bargain price of £14.99 and decided to give it a go. I thought this was a very good price and a lot cheaper than other curling tongs but I think it's because they're really aimed at younger girls (13-16) who wouldn't be able to afford more expensive tongs. Although they're aimed at the younger market (with the bright packaging and pink handle) they're just as good as other 'grown-up' tongs ...
...my dressing table with my Angel Curls in hand. I'd flicked through the instruction book briefly (which looks very comprehensive) but they look pretty self-explanatory so I just got stuck in. All you have to do is get a small section of hair, clip it to the bottom of the tong and then carefully wind the rest of the section around the tong. There are even 'guides' on the tong to make sure your curls are even. Once the hair is wrapped around there ... Read review
