Advantages: Lightweight, quick and easy to use Disadvantages: Fiddly packaging
...have ended up the with Babyliss 2025 ceramic straighteners. Although I don't, as a rule, go for the cheapest products, there really was little choice to be had. I genuinely felt this was the best product on offer - and at £19.99 very reasonably priced, though at this point I had my doubts as to whether they would be up to the twice a day straightening my hair demands!
The straighteners are displayed in clear sealed plastic packaging which is great ... ...the same! As the Babyliss heats up to over 200 degrees I was also impressed that the 'comfort fabric' - situated on the casing at the back of the plates - really didn't heat up very much at all - enabling you to hold the straighteners further up the 'handle'. This means you have that extra bit of 'grip' so the straighteners fit over your hair nice and tightly - without burning fingertips in the process! As per the instructions, I separated 5cm sections ...

Advantages: Heat quickly, good performance, nice budget pair Disadvantages: Results not as good as expensive ones
...until I came across the Babyliss 2025HU professional slim ceramic straightening iron on Amazon. With an RRP of £19.99 I only actually paid a partial £12.99 for these and as they were quite cheap they seemed to fit the bill in case I was to lose them on holiday. Of course they do not give me the same performance as my Remington straighteners but as they cost a whole £50 less I never expected them to.
One of the problems I’ve had in the past is the ... ...anything to my hair. My hair can be quick think and curls quite a bit if it dries when it is wet. So I was quite surprised that these reached a temperature that not only got to grips with the thickness of my hair but also got hot enough to give me a finished result I was very happy with.
It normally takes me about 15 minutes for these to really do the job on my hair. At times I wish I hate my friend Lindsey’s hair as hers is always done so much ...

Advantages: cheap Disadvantages: dont get hot enough
I've had these babyliss hair straightners over three years now and they aren't very good. I bought them because they were the cheapest pair I could find ebay. They don't get hot enough to make hair really straight. I have to go over the same bits of hair multiple times to get it almost straight and after that it doesnt get any straighter. And my hair is pretty much straight to begin with anyway, it just looks nicer when properly straight. They also ...

Advantages: they are very cheap Disadvantages: they dont get very hot
I purchased these irons because my GHD's needed repairing and in view of the fact that my hair gets a bit out of control I couldn't really go with the natural look for a possible 2 weeks. Since I was not prepared to pay a lot for a pair of temporary irons I decided these would be a good idea.
It took ages to straighten my hair with these irons as they don't get very hot at all and even when I had finished my hair was not that straight. They even ... ...look!!
I do have thick naturally curly hair that can get a bit wild especially with damp or humid weather (a bit like Monica in friends when she went to Barbados - not very sexy) so maybe these are ok if you have thinner hair that doesn't take much work??
If you are blessed with easy to style hair these are a bargain!
These can allegedly heat up to around 210 degrees which I think is the same temperature as GHD's, but I was less than convinced ...
