I bought these tongs over a year ago now, after deciding I was fed up with my straight hair all the time. And despite using them only a few times due to the length of time it takes, I've found them very effective, although generally I keep my hair straight most of the time.
History of Babyliss: Babyliss was established in 1960 in Paris. Their aim was to create hair drying and styling appliances for the hairdressing world. However by the mid 60's, after much sucess they began exporting products to the UK, and have since become a well known leading brand worldwide.Features:
2 year guarantee
Moving spiral presses the hair to give more curl definition
High heat, and heats up in around 5 minutes
Automatic temperature control, no need to change the temparature as there's only one setting.
How easy are they to use?: I clip my hair in sections, and curl just less than an inch section each time. You simply wind the hair round, clipping the ends as you would with normal tongs, and then press up the button which sets the curl better. They are realy effective and you can also change the amount of hair you curl depending on whether you want tight curls (less hair) or loser curls (using thicker sections of hair.)Are they any good: Simply YES! They're brilliant, they curl my hair and the curls stay in place all day. I also use a L'Oreal curl spray to help the curls stay in place all day. At first the curls are a bit too curly at times but they soon drop to a nicer, more natural look. Even the next day the hair is still curly, just loser and more messy. However you could still go out with hair like this.
Disadvantages: The only one that comes to mind is the amount of time it takes to curl a whole head of hair. My hair is just past shoulder length and quite thick and takes around 45 mins. So if you have longer hair it would take even longer and be quite a time consuming. This is probably the reason I don't curl my hair more often.
Price and avaiability: I bought mine around a year ago for £25. However they currently retail at £22.99 and are available from Boots, Argos and any other electrical shops. www.boots.com

Love the sound of these, I just use tongs at the moment but these sound as if they have much more staying power!! Nic x

I keep wondering whether I should buy some curling tongs. Bet I'd use them once and then they'd end up gathering dust though lol Just like most of my other 'gadgets'

Sound good, but I love my Nicky Clarke ceramic ones too much to give them up!
