Overall a nice product
Review of Carmen 10878 ST/DRM by
xx-rowan-xx
Advantages: Curlers work well, not much chance of burns, steam stops curls from falling out
Disadvantages: straighteners aren't much good!
This product comes with a handle, a curling attatchment, a flicking atattchment and a straightening atattchment which clip onto the handle. It is mains powered and comes with two free gifts.
I found this product generally quite good. The curling attatchment worked nicely and although flicking one also worked quite well it took a while to learn to use effectively. however, the straighteners were difficult to use as they are too wide and they didnt ... ...to get rid of. The steam works well but I found that unless you screw it on very well, the water container tends to leak and so you have to empty it between use which can be a bit of a pain. Also although the clip is a good idea it leaves a kink in your hair.
Overall this was a good product and another good feature is that it is hard to burn you head as most of it is plastic. ...

Quick and easy hair styler
Review of Babyliss Beliss Styler by
Sare200175
Advantages: Gives hair healthy shine
Disadvantages: none
I purchased this styler some months ago, but after years of struggling to style my hair and purchasing many hair styling gadgets that were unsuccesful, I didn't really hold out much hope for it. It is brilliant. Its quick, easy and makes my hair look healthy and shiny. It took a few goes to get the hang, but I couldn't be without it now. You basically just brush your damp hair in the direction and style that you desire until completely dry and finish ... ...hair like straightening does and it isn't tricky and time consuming like blow drying. I have very limp, lifeless hair, but I don't even find I have to use hair products to help hold the style. Since using this styler, for the first time in my life, I can actually style my hair to look like I've just been to the hairdressers! ...

Great quality styler
Review of Braun C20S by
justathought
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 ...

Coz there not worth it
Review of BaByliss You Curl by
littlemissh13
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, ...
