Advantages: The steam setting helps set the curl and the size of the curl is perfect Disadvantages: A bit difficult to get the hang of to start with , especially if looking in the mirror!
I've always had naturally wavy but frizzy hair and fancied trying to coax it in to beautiful loose curls. I saw the Carmen Angel Curls product on Boots.com for the bargain price of £14.99 and decided to give it a go.
I thought this was a very good price and a lot cheaper than other curling tongs but I think it's because they're really aimed at younger girls (13-16) who wouldn't be able to afford more expensive tongs. Although they're aimed at the younger market (with the bright packaging and pink handle) they're just as good as other 'grown-up' tongs I've used before - if not better!
I really wanted a lovely head of curly hair for a friends party and sat myself down in front of my dressing table with my Angel Curls in hand. I'd flicked through the instruction book briefly (which looks very comprehensive) but they look pretty ...
Advantages: You get lovely curls, they're a good price Disadvantages: Takes a lot of time
I first bought these curling tongs about three years ago. I had been looking for some decent tongs for a while as I was fed up of using hair rollers.
I was instantly attracted to the carmen girls tongs; probably due to the fact that they were very pink and girly! I had read about them before though and I knew that Carmen was a good make. They looked fairly easy to use and they were a good price too, I think they were around £15.
The tongs came in a rectangular black box with a picture of a girl who has used the tongs; there are also some small diagrams which show you how to use them.
Luckily inside the box there were some detailed instructions on how to use them.
Before you use the tongs you need to fill the water reservoir with water; this then goes onto the end of the barrel, you have to give it a turn clockwise and then ...
Advantages: No strain on the purse strings! It's pink! Disadvantages: Fiddly to use on hair at the back (but it's the same with similar appliances)
wanted to be able to dry my own hair so that my natural curls look nice and pretty - not frizzy! Anyway, one lazy Sunday afternoon, as I was idely flicking through the new Argos catalogue I stumbled upon a bright pink page advertising lots of Carmen products. It was like a young teenager's heaven! Ok, now I know that I'm 25 now, but I'm making up for the damage caused by my Wild Woman of Borneo look that defined me in the early '90's! So, this heavenly pink page was great and best of all it had curling tongs! The unfortunate thing was that I had no money to speak of, although these are very cheap at £19.99 (you can get them cheaper if you shop around). Christmas was just around the corner so I put a request in with Santa Claus and I knew I had been a good girl all year, so I was quietly confident that I would have myself a very curly ...
