GHDs win again!

Advantages: great for short hair, or creating funky corkscrew curls.
Disadvantages: pricey, and similar to other GHDs

As with all GHDs this product is top of the market for what it does...these smaller irons are designed for really short hair and generally i just use them mainly on men. The slim iron means no finger burning when trying to straighten really short hair. I would not reccomend them for hair any longer than a few inches, as for this kind of length the original GHD's are better and quicker.The only time i use the mini stylers on longer hair is if a want ...

The beach curls I wanted

Advantages: Does create good curls
Disadvantages: Difficult to use

...few weeks later I recieved Babyliss You Curls for my birthday, and I was excited to try them out! They come in a sleek black box with a picture of them women on the front sporting the exact curls I wanted! On the back is a step by step instruction of how to achieve these curls, after a quick look I decided it seemed easy enough. Pulling out the curlers they looked quite odd! They were similar to straightners with the metal silver plates to put your ...
...the edge and around. Although they looked odd I thought they seemed quite funky! Plugging them in and you'll find you can set the tempreture to whatever you want I didnt set it to high as my hair is quite thin. Then it'll beep to let you know it's reached the tempreture. Now for the fun part. The idea is is like straightners to put your hair inbetween the plates at the roots of your hair and as you slide the curling irons down you gently twist the ...

Smooth or curls? You choose!

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

I have been using Braun gas powered styling wands for more years than I care to remember - having been born with straight hair (and having a mother who really wanted me to have curls) over the years I have spent time and money trying to introduce a 'bend' into it. Not for me the tight curls I had as a child (courtesy of my mother perming it on a regular basis) nor is the straight hair so popular these days. I like a little 'bend' just enough to ...
...So, as my old Braun was loooking a little tired, I went out seeking a replacement. My wanderings took me into Curry's where they were 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 ...

BraunGCS 70 Style N'GO - GREAT HAIR TOOL

Advantages: quick, easy to use, light weight, no trailing flex
Disadvantages: Cost of cartridges

Have used these Braun stylers for about 20 years and always found them excellent - easy to use , they do what they say they do and the barrel is easy to clean when it becomes sticky with styling product . They are easy to carry about and have a safety cover which holds the 'off' button in place and is heat-proof. They are light weight to use and have the advantage of no trailing wire as with electricty powered tongs. I find that these tongs last ...
...I have is that up to about 1O years ago you could refill them with a can of lighter fuel, which was obviously much cheaper, but I suppose Braun thought about that and decided it was better for THEM if they sold disposable cartridges, which, I think are vastly over-priced. ...
