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 ...

Advantages: Straightens and curls with minimum effort, long cord, auto shut-off Disadvantages: Takes a while to get used to, doesn't have a stand
...However, when I found the BaByliss You Curl I thought I'd struck gold! It straightens _and_ it curls, depending on how you use it. I have never had much success in getting my hair to hold a curl, so I thought that even if it didn't live up to the promise of curls I would at least have a good straightener.
There are several similar products on the market and I weighed up the options before deciding that BaByliss was the brand I trusted the most and ... ...Curl was up to temperature. BaByliss definitely deliver on their promise of 'ultra-fast heat up'!
But did it deliver beautifully straight hair _and_ beautiful curls?
'''Straightening'''
Straightening hair using the You Curl is, I imagine, the same as using any hair straightener. I've never attempted to straighten my hair before, but simply by placing a section of my hair between the ceramic plates, closing the plates and slowly moving them down ...

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 ...

Advantages: Fast heating, space-saver. Disadvantages: Can be tricky to master the curling.
I bought this product when my previous hair straighteners went kaput 6 months ago. At first I found it quite tricky to get the hang of the curling action but with practice, I got the hang of it. It works equally well as a straightner or a curler and you don't end up with those hideous tight ringlets that you can end up with from some curlers.
Not only has it saved me the cost of buying a separate curler and straightner, but it has saved space too. ... ...your hair and a light which tells you when it is ready. It heats up in next to no time at all!
Although this does seem to be quite a revolutionary product, it must be noted that you can achieve the same effect with a standard straightner. However, nevertheless, this is a must-buy product. ...

Advantages: Fast Heat up, step by step instructions, easy to use Disadvantages: need to get the hang of it first
I bought the Babyliss You Curl as a friend recommended them.. I have medium length hair thats quite thick, i seperated all my hair and curled sections as instructed in the booklet that came with the tongs. You have to curl your hair in a certain way for it to work otherwise it just straightens but once you get used to it, it becomes a lot quicker and easier to do. I sprayed each section with hairspray before and after i used the tongs to help the ... ...curling my hair the first section underneath had dropped out maybe i needed more hairspray so i re did the sections underneath. They are good value for money as i paid £39 and they create modern curls. They are fairly easy to use with 3 different heat settings and an on and off button once you get the hang of it. ...

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, ...

Advantages: Straightens well, heats up quick, Disadvantages: Difficult to use the curling feature
...supposedly a video on the babyliss website showing you how to do it, so that could be worth a wee look.
The straighteners are really good as well. My hair always looks straight and shiny and smooth.
One nice feature is that the power cord can rotate so you won't get tangled up when you're curling.
Overall, it's an ok product if I figure out how to get the look I want. It heats up really quickly, straightens well and would probably curl excellently ...
