    Advantages Advantages Cordless, easyily rechargable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can pull out your hair, more work needed on thick hair

    Background Information Braun manufactures this product and its named Braun BSS Pro Steam & Straight Hair Straighteners. This product was first introduced to the market two years ago and has been overlooked. This product delivers all it says on the packaging and delivers it very well. This product is very cheap ranging from approx £30 - £35 depending where you purchase it. The first of its amazing features is that it is cordless. This to most ladies is a huge advantage as when we are rushing around franticly getting ready for a night on the tiles, as we are often found stuck in front of the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Portable, effective and fast.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can snag hair

    (Virgin reviewer) Okay… let’s get this straight (pardon the pun)… I’ve had this product for a couple of weeks (bought as a birthday present, by my wuvely partner) and I have some opinions that I’d like to share. Braun Cordless Independent Steam & Straight The name says it all. Bought at Boots for £17.99 Replacement energy cells also available at boots. Dimensions and ergonomics (Gnome philosophy): Good: It fits fine in my hand and feels light. Not the smallest portable straighteners, fits okay in a medium sized handbag. Not so good: I’ve noticed that the on/off switch rubs and digs into the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Portable, cheap, good for touch ups

    Disadvantages Disadvantages bulky, not good for thick or curly hair

    I bought these straightners a while ago thinking they would be great for doing my hair after having to wear a hat all day at work. While they did fit in my work bag they are a little big for your average handbag but they aren't too heavy which is good. Anyway so there i was in the staff toilets expecting to reapear looking like a supermodel with my straight hair! but no my hair was still a mess, smelt a bit funny and i was now stressed from trying to use them!! First of all they take ages to heat up, then once they do you can smell a slight burning aroma and they certainly dont straighten hair ... more

    Advantages Advantages gas powered means no need to find a plug

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no good for thick hair

    I bought these straighteners when they first came out, thinking that they would be great for those days where you get caught in the rain. i thought i would be able to pop into the toilets at work and come out looking spectacular. however, this was not the case. they took an eternity to heat up, then my hair was too thick for them. i would say that they are ideal for those with short or thin hair. you would be there all day trying to use them on long or thick hair. however, what they are good for, pop them in your bag when you go on a night out and use them periodically when you go to the ... more

    Advantages Advantages can take it with you

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the best on the market

    ok, well what can i say , they are not ghd, if you have very fuzzy hair do not get this product, if you want super straight hair do not get this product. it is not the easyest thing to use and it has a gas refill, so you do need to keep paying out the refills are around £3-£4 each time , some times you hair can get court between the metal irons , causing hair to snap off, and it dose not get as hot as alot of other products so what is good about this i here you say , well when i first got this , i was not happy ,so a couple of week later i got ghd........... so i had no use for the braun ... more
