BaByliss 2099U

...offer at around 29.99, being Babyliss I thought they would have the pre-conceived build quality and reputable ability to straighten my hair minus any major issues. Unfortunately I found this not to be the case..! Don't get me wrong these straighteners are good if you rarely straighten your hair, but for someone who does on a regular basis they are not worth the money. ~~ Product Specification ~~ Either cordless or corded Tourmaline coated plates ...
...5 different heat settings LED indicator On/off switch on base Cool touch heat resistant housing ~~ My opinion of use ~~ For infrequent use these straighteners are the perfect pair, as they can be controlled in heat, so are more suitable for those with younger hair, or someone who only straightens their hair for nights out. The docking base is a great idea as long as you have the base closer to the place you are doing your hair but be warned ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I love GHD's, my friend's have always told me to get them and I have used theirs and absolutely fell in love with them. I couldn't afford a pair so I thought I would go to Argos & just get a cheap new pair of anything which are new as mine had died. I found these for £15, the fact that they are cordless, and also the fact that the cord on them is 3meters long thought I would go for these. Any my god, these are amazing! I would say they are on the ...
...cost £15 means that it doesn't particularly matter if they break or you lose them (say on a flight abroad!) because you can just go out and get another pair! My hair is the thickest hair I think I have ever known anyone to have. It is long (nearly at my elbow) and It is really wavy - not nice waves, they are very messy, and the only way they can look good is if I put my hair up or if I straighten it. These have long ceramic plates which helps for ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

...better pair. I chose the Babyliss Total Freedom straighteners because I'd read brilliant reviews about it, and at £19.99 from Argos (this was a few months ago, it may be in the sales now!) it was a bargain. I wasn't particularly interested in the cordless aspect because I'm not too bothered about the cord, but it claimed that the temperatures in excess of 200 degrees are better for straightening hair. The straighteners came in three pieces in a ...
...as I started using the Babyliss Total Freedom straighteners, people kept saying "have you straightened your hair?" even though I always did anyway, and it just shows what a difference it made. I've had these straighteners for a few months now, and I love them. They are brilliant, and so worth the money (which was only £20 anyway!). They were cheap, are simple to use, and really straighten my hair well. The handle doesn't get hot, and I've never ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

...What drew me to The BaByliss 2099U total freedom straighteners was the added benefit that they are detachable and can be used anywhere. I have never used straighteners myself (not enough hair left these days) but I guessed that it cannot be that easy to use straighteners while they are attached to the mains by a cable, so as these could be detached from the mains lead they must be a lot easier to use. The straighteners can be heated by either straight ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I bought these as a second set for taking on holidays and working away etc and found them to be not quite as good as GHD but for the price they are very good. I find them better if you don't use the cordless option as when using the charging base they lose heat quickly if you don't put them back in the charger / holder. If using with the cord they are as good as you can get for this price range, but don't seem to give the same sleek finish as the ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

...are very smooth and as Babyliss describe it - they are DEFINATLY salon performance. They are also quite wide which allows more hair to be striaghtened at any time. The timing for the plates to heat up is VERY QUICK, about 20 seconds or so to heat up. These straightners are also very good for curling hair if your the person who knows how to curl hair with straightners. Overall, it is definately worth purchasing these straightners. I got then for ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I was slightly apprehensive in buying these, however the idea of being able to be unhooked from the mains would be very handy...... These straighteners do look to be very bulky and heavy on appearance however they are reasonably light and do not give you arm ache after two minutes. They are black with a sand colour ceramic plate and can be used either by keeping the cord attached to the plug socket or unclip this and put them into the base which ...
...placed in the base a red light appears to show that they are correctly in place and the green light repeatedly flashes.... this then remains permanently when they are fully heated.It takes around 60 seconds to fully heat up, once they are taken off base and used they obviously lose their heat but they last around five minutes until they need replacing. The straighteners can reach a maximum temperature of 230c, which is great if you want the poker ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I was a bit unsure when purchasing these hair straightners as with them been portable they only last for 4 minutes between topping up the temperature (by placing back into the stand) but surprisingly they are a great pair of straightners! One huge benefit of them is they can be cordless or you can attatch them to the cord if you like so they really do give you total freedom as the name would suggest. The top temperature is 230 which is great for ...
...starting from as low as 150 degrees so great if you don't fancy frying your hair. I think considering the price they are an excellent pair of straightners. The only people I would suggest not buying these straightners to would be those with short hair as the plates are quite wide and would not be suitable for styling short lengths of hair. ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I think theses are the best straighteners iv ever owned. If u have Afro hair like me i recommend the highly. My hair stays straight until iv washed it. they don't make my hair feel brittle like other straighteners iv use. u do have to watch it if you got short hair as iv had my haircut short recently and iv burnt my self a far few times. but i still use them i just have to be more careful.. mostly behind the ears and the front of me head where ...
...length cord as i find just using them with as a portable straightener doesnt work as good, and i don't find the heat is a powerful hands free.. but on the advantages its great when you have that small bit of hair that u can't reach or you have to get closer to the mirror with. ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

...I was concerned that the Babyliss 2099U would not provide the quality I was used to but I have been happily suprised! The ability to use them cordlessly is freat as it means I can get closer to my mirror and they heat up within seconds an stay heated for several minutes. I also love the flexibility to use them with the cord and they provide a flawless, smooth finish everytime. Not only that they are great value for money! They are so easy to use ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I brought these straightners after about 2 weeks toying between ghds and other brands,but can i just say i am so glad i picked these not only are they fantastic but they saved me around 50 pounds. They are great to use at home and when your away somewhere,you can have the cord or cordless options.Though i tend to use the cord at home as you have to replace them if cordless every 2-3 minutes for them to warm up again and if your in a rush it can ...
...have just come away from the salon.Though might i just add i did have an accident with them when they were up to 230 degress as my hair must have been slightly damp in places and it did singe my hair a little,but it does say on the leaflet make sure hair is dry,so please do as yes it does singe if not fully dry. I have my setting on 190 and i think it does the job and keeps it straight all day.there is a chice of five settings 150,170,190,210 and ...

Review of BaByliss 2099U

I find these straighteners to be practically faultless. I was initially drawn to them by the fact that they are wireless which means I can run around the house getting ready and straighten my hair at the same time. I was slightly apprehensive when I saw how big they were (Arm ache isnt my idea of easy straightening) but I was pleasantly surprised at how light they really are. My hair is often difficult to please when it comes to straightening and ...
