Braun C 21 Smoothstyler

Advantages: Very portable can use it anywhere, tried and tested
Disadvantages: Need to purchase refills

...offering the Braun Smoothstyler C31S for just £12.99 - the shelf edge label suggested this was 'half price' and I never can resist a bargain! The box comes complete with the styler, cover, styling brush a small and a large gas refill and a small and large handle to suit the gas refills - which is pretty good value for money. This model also has a steam feature for more gentle styling and longer lasting styles. You can use the styler with or without the brush attachment depending on how you prefer to style your hair and this model also has a handy 'energy level indicator' so that you can see when the gas canister is 50% and below. Oh how I wish I had an 'energy level indicator' for me! There is a cover which fits over the wand which is stylishly designed so that it automatically switches off the gas if you have forgotten to do so - handy... Read review

Advantages: cordless, long lasting, good quality, good results
Disadvantages: water reservoir is a bit small

...Well, a few years ago, my friend kindly bought me the Braun c20s as a birthday gift. Since it's lasted me so well, I thought I'd better review it!

I like the fact that the instructions have diagrams with text underneath - it's easier to understand.

Advantages: Creates fun looks quickly, heats up fast, cheap!
Disadvantages: Doesn't really straighten your hair.

...This is something I bought last year, but up until last night I had never used it. I sort of forgot I had it, that’s something I quite regularly do! I bought it last year from Argos in the sale, it cost me £10, instead of the normal £21.65 (I’ve just had a look on the website to see how much it is now). I was actually quite surprised to see that they still stock it. When I bought it I made quite a saving, but I only bought it because I thought it was cheap, not because I really wanted it. The device in question is approximately 25cms in length, and is 6cms wide in it’s widest part. It sort of starts off quite thin at the bottom and broadens out in the middle and then goes thin again towards the top. It looks a bit strange to tell you the truth, it looks a bit like a vibrator, but then again, that might just be my... Read review
