Gianni Curls 4 YOU

Advantages: Fast Heat up, step by step instructions, easy to use
Disadvantages: need to get the hang of it first

...I bought the Babyliss You Curl as a friend recommended them.. I have medium length hair thats quite thick, i seperated all my hair and curled sections as instructed in the booklet that came with the tongs. You have to curl your hair in a certain way for it to work otherwise it just straightens but once you get used to it, it becomes a lot quicker and easier to do. I sprayed each section with hairspray before and after i used the tongs to help the curls stay in. However after an hour of curling my hair the first section underneath had dropped out maybe i needed more hairspray so i re did the sections underneath. They are good value for money as i paid £39 and they create modern curls. They are fairly easy to use with 3 different heat settings and an on and off button once you get the hang of it....

...I would like to review BaByliss You Curl Styler from my point of view (read: point of view of person who has got big problems with making any hairdo, with very heavy looking hair). I'm not going to tell you all technical stuff about it, I'll just simply explain if…and how it works. Since I remember my hair has always looked a bit messy and trust me, I take a lot care of my hair, I spend quiet lot of money each month on all kinds of conditioners, anti frizz serums etc. but that seems not to be enough. I spend also quite lot of time trying to make any hairstyle. I tried all kind of hair stylers, many hair straighteners- few of them just didn't work on my hair at all as they were too thick. I could literally spend hours on making my hair, sometimes it was worth the effort…for something like an hour and then my hair went all messy again... Read review

...After seeing myself in a friend's wedding photos and staring disbelievingly at my horrible hair, I decided it was finally time to give in and buy myself a straightener and a curling iron. A couple of hours later, I sat down with a cup of coffee and the good old Argos catalogue to try and find myself the best possible styling tools for the lowest possible cost. I tend to think that you get what you pay for, and so I was willing to spend a decent amount on a straightener - ditto a curling iron. However, when I found the BaByliss You Curl I thought I'd struck gold! It straightens and it curls, depending on how you use it. I have never had much success in getting my hair to hold a curl, so I thought that even if it didn't live up to the promise of curls I would at least have a good straightener. There are several similar products... Read review
