Babyliss Pro Ceramic Slim Short Hair/Mens Hair Straighteners

Great for short thin hair

Advantages: Heat very quickly
Disadvantages: Unable to cope with my thick hair

I bought these recently as I cannot live without my older larger plated GHD's and thought that these would be a handy alternative. They do heat in under 3 seconds and have the same excellent ceramic plates as the larger version, however I found them very time consuming. I have very thick hair about shoulder length and unlike their larger cousins they were unable to straighten as effectively . On saying that they were brilliant on my fringe. I would recommend these to anyone with shorter or thin hair. A fashion conscientious male friend of mine used these and loved them and were perfect for his short hair. I would recommend using the straightening oil with these as they are very hot and I did find a few burnt strands of hair . ...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

Straighten like a pro!

Advantages: Salon heat. Long cord. Inexpensive.
Disadvantages: On/off buttons easy to knock accidentally.

I have to say I was somewhat of a late-comer to the world of hair straighteners. I was quite intrigued by them in the salons I frequented but having seen the price tags of GHD hair straighteners which I was repeatedly told were THE brand to buy, I was somewhat put off. After all, having never needed hair straighteners before could I justify a £100+ price tag for something I may never or infrequently use?

I spoke to my hairdresser who said that many brands of straighteners were now rivalling GHD's & that the main thing to look for was a set of straighteners whch reached professional heat levels of 230 degrees. So, approx 2 years ago I did my research on Amazon & purchased the Babyliss Pro 230. The RRP ...

Review of Babyliss Pro 230 Ceramic Tourmaline 230°C Hair Straighteners

Babyliss pro 200 ceramic straightener

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Sometimes damage hair, no variable heat settings, take a while to heat up

you have thick hair, I wouldn't reccomend them. *It takes at least three strokes to completely straighten my (thin) hair. The good points about these straighteners: *I like the cool tips. My old straighteners did not have these, and I found myself burning my fingers on the ends! *The soft fabric around the plate-area *The fact that they are slim makes them easy to store and easy to style shorter hair. *The floating plates provide even pressure *3x ceramic plates for extra protection from heat. *There is a 3 year guarantee on these straighteners, which I think is fairly good for what I paid for. These straighteners are also good for curling hair, as the barrel is fairly round so as not to create odd-shaped curls. To curl my hair with these straighteners, I take a lock and twist it round the straightener until it is fully ...
