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. ...

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 ...

Great quality styler

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

...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! A few months ago, my sister moved away and wanted one of her own - I didn't know if it would still be available, but phew! it is - it's now called the Braun smoothstyler - the same thing but probably slightly different looking, and possibly improved. What you get The instructions (description, instructions for inserting ...

...to wait too long. It is pretty easy to use considering that I had never curled my hair and I have very long hair. You will still need to use hair spray to make sure your curls don't fall out of place. This product is easy to use and creates lasting curls (with the help of hair spray) in a fast and effective way. The 9.99 price tag quoted is from electrocare-uk.com ...

...one. The predecessor to the Braun C20 and I loved it, but me being me, when I saw a slightly better more up to date one a few years later, I just had to have it. Who are Braun?
