BaByliss 2289U

Design and Material The design on this is very typical and what you would expect to see from curling tongs. This looks the type of quality you would get in a salon, with a black handle with a digital screen the handle itself feels like it's made of plastic but I'm not sure if it is or not. The screen shows you the temperature that you currently have the tongs on, you change and turn this on by pressing the button next to it. The barrels them self are silver and 38mm made of titanium-ceramic, with the barrels being so big it means you can create both glamour curly hair or soft wavy curls. The ... more

Having fairly long hair and being bored off the permanent GHD’d look that I seem to have been sporting for the last decade I decided I needed some curls! My hair is naturally wavy but that’s about the extent of it – wavy – not luscious bouncy curls, just kinks really! My in-laws always struggle with ideas for my birthday so I opted for asking for some curling tongs as I knew they were reasonably priced and didn’t feel too cheeky asking for them. I had meant curling tongs, however I had to hide my disappointment when I opened the present and I had received some Babyliss curlers! I sound very ... more

I have very long and very thick hair. I am always looking for styles which are easy to complete but yet still look great. Having always curled my hair with a small barrelled curling tong for nights out I decided to look for a larger barrelled set for a different look….step forward the Babyliss 2289U. WHAT MADE ME CHOOSE THIS PRODUCT If I'm honest I had heard mixed reports on a variety of different curling tongs and decided to look around for a cheaper pair that if they didn’t work I wouldn’t be so upset. While scouring the internet I found these on Amazon for around £15 which to me seemed like ... more

I decided to buy myself these Babyliss curlers just before Christmas because I wanted them for party season over Christmas-New Years to style my hair with nice loose curls. I opted for these curlers as the heated barrel on them is quite large, which means my curls would be really loose and more natural looking. How to Use These styling tongs are used much the same as any other tongs I have used in the past. You simply turn them on, wait for them to heat up, then when they are ready to use take sections of your hair and wrap them around them, hold the for a minute and then release. This should ... more

I bought these quite a while ago now for around £22, you can buy these cheaper now and I found a pair on Amazon for £15.99 with free postage and packing. The curlers are pretty large in size with a large 38mm barrel, which is larger to give the bigger curls and waves rather than the smaller curls. The lead for the curlers is pretty long and can stretch far enough to be able to get to a plug and your closest mirror without any problems. To use this is really pretty easy, just plug it in, set it to the temperature you want, this has 4 different settings with the highest been 200oC. This is ... more
