Hair Stylers > Braun Hair Stylers > Gas (Cartridge)

Advantages: Easy to use,pack and does the job
Disadvantages: You have to remember to buy replacement cartridges

I love my Braun style and go, it is so verstaile and easy to use. it is small enough to carry in a bag or suitcase- indeed I never go without my style'n go. This hair styler relies on gas cartridges to heat the curling tongs/ brush. It is simple to use, just place the cartridge into the base, click into place and youare ready to go. To switch on- all you need to do is slide the 'on' button from the '0' setting to the '1' setting,you then click ...
...few seconds for the item to heat up and you are ready to go! THis styler can be used with the brush attatchment or the tongs, Yyou can find this by sliding the brush attatchment off the tongs. You may need to depress the catch to release this. I tend to use the brush attatchment most of the time as this is what styles my hair best. I have shoulder length hair and very difficult to hold hair. You can get some lovely curls and waves of a medium ... Read review

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 ... Read review

Advantages: Curl hair anywhere, does not need electricity.
Disadvantages: Can cause dry hair/ damage if used too often.

...My old tongs were Braun which I bought when we went on a canal holiday a few years ago, and as I still had some energy cells I decided to go for another Braun to save wasting these. The choice is absolutely amazing, but all I wanted was a gas tong to give a quick curl to my hair in the morning or if it needed it before going out after work. I decided against one which had a water chamber and went for the bargain priced one which was on offer in ...
...many points it was FREE! *SIZE* Size is important! Especially, if you want to pop it in your handbag. It has a 3.5 cm diameter and is normally 22cm. in length, but this is a clever little number and they provide you with a smaller cell and end piece and so it only measures 18cm. Very useful to tong your hair at a wedding if your hair has been flattened by wearing a hat! *ENERGY CELLS* The little cell is 5cm long and wouldn’t last for very long ... Read review

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 ...
...the steam function, switching it on and tips and instructions for styling and steaming). I like the fact that the instructions have diagrams with text underneath - it's easier to understand. A brush attachment The styler A plastic cover that clips over the styler 2 energy cells (I'm glad they don't make you buy them separately) The Perks It's cordless - I've used it on the go quite a few times with no disasters (other than people in the ...

Advantages: heats up quickly
Disadvantages: awkward to use, can get better results with strightners.

Waited a while before getting these as wasn't entirely sure they would do what they promised,but saw them an sale and thought why not give them a go. Wish i hadn't bothered. Even when following the instructions to the letter 9 times out of ten all i got was a bump in my hair, on the odd occaission i did get a curl it, it was litterally one in the whole strand of hair ( my hair is fairly long , midway down back) in addition to this the strighteners ...
...and got better results, i have had a few other pairs of babylis strightners and must say these havn't impressed me much either. On the plus side these do heat up VERY quickly so at a push i may use them as strighteners if i really was in a rush. The whole idea behind these is to make curling your hair as easy as strightening it, so my advise is to spend the money on a decent pair of striaghteners and do it that way, or even a cheap curling tong, ...
