Not hot enough.
Review of Nclarke NCS18 by
tonirlex
Advantages: It can give you a different touch of style by using interesting prints and styles.
Disadvantages: This product takes too long to heat up and doesn't do good for wavy hair.
I got this product as a Christmas present a few years ago. The product is very attractive in a stylish design, it is big and bulky compared to other designs which is good for long hair as it covers more surface area getting the job done quicker, but this makes it akward to handle and slightly heavy as it's about 30cm long. It also has a long lead (2 metre's) that swivels aswell, which enables you to move around whilst styling your hair, it has plenty ... ...which are easy to take off and put on, also you can buy extra attachments for more styles. The colour of this product is a girly pink which is pretty too especially for a young girl. The price for this product is quite good as it's not too dear it's £24.99 which i think is pretty reasonable price.
The heat features can be changed to two different settings high and low, but this product does not heat up quickly enough it takes about 4 minutes to ...

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, ...

BaByliss You Curl- You're worth it!!!
Review of BaByliss You Curl by
katrinakubisa
Advantages: gorgeous curls, smooth shiny and straight hair as well!!
Disadvantages: cooling thongs may damage hair a bit
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, ... ...me I have seen an BaByliss You Curl advert and decided to try. I got in on Christmas from my boyfriend. Just a few seconds after unwrapping present I was plugging it and waiting for it to heat up. First thing that I noticed is that it takes really short to heat up and during using it's not getting any colder(so I didn't need to make any breaks when using it just to wait for it getting a bit warmer again). So I read instruction very, very carefully ...
