Review of Braun BSS

...I’d like to share. Braun Cordless Independent Steam & Straight The name says it all. Bought at Boots for £17.99 Replacement energy cells also available at boots. Dimensions and ergonomics (Gnome philosophy): Good: It fits fine in my hand and feels light. Not the smallest portable straighteners, fits okay in a medium sized handbag. Not so good: I’ve noticed that the on/off switch rubs and digs into the inside of my index finger when I’m using ...
...open the plates and my finger joints felt stiff after. Assembly and operation: Good: Easy-to-follow instructions. Easy assembly. Nice little styling guide with step-by-step pictures. Tiny water reservoir was still half full by the time I’d finished, (my hair is thick, naturally curly and down to my armpits). It took less than 10 minutes to straighten the lot (and I’m naff with these things). Plates themselves were slick, well and evenly heated ...

Review of Braun BSS

I bought these straightners a while ago thinking they would be great for doing my hair after having to wear a hat all day at work. While they did fit in my work bag they are a little big for your average handbag but they aren't too heavy which is good. Anyway so there i was in the staff toilets expecting to reapear looking like a supermodel with my straight hair! but no my hair was still a mess, smelt a bit funny and i was now stressed from trying ...
...to heat up, then once they do you can smell a slight burning aroma and they certainly dont straighten hair! although i have found that the curved plates work wonders on my mates thin hair for creating flicks The gas cartridges last a fair while and you can can buy them fairly cheaply if you look in the right places! (i dont reccomend boots as they are expensive) Overall i guess i didnt expect much from these as i got them reduced in a sale for ...

Review of Braun BSS

I bought these straighteners when they first came out, thinking that they would be great for those days where you get caught in the rain. i thought i would be able to pop into the toilets at work and come out looking spectacular. however, this was not the case. they took an eternity to heat up, then my hair was too thick for them. i would say that they are ideal for those with short or thin hair. you would be there all day trying to use them on ...
...pop them in your bag when you go on a night out and use them periodically when you go to the bathroom. i use them for this all the time, never leave the house without them, but mind your hair needs to have been straightened previously with a more powerful straightener. ...

Review of Braun BSS

Well being a busy mum and not always having the time to wait around for a plug in straightner, i saw this and noticed it was cordless, so i purchashed one at the reasonable cost of £23.50. I took it home and read the instructions that i thought were easy to understand, switched them on and waited for the small led light to change which took around 5 mins and then started to straighten my hair. I have very think and long wavy hair and personally found ...
...the straightners through me hair it was ripping odd strands out although the lever was easy to release and held hair firmly in place and i spent a good half hour trying to straighten my hair (and to use the steam at the same time is tricky), in which i eventually gave up. I also found the gas didnt last for long although they arent too expensive . I would say that if you have fine hair and not particularly curly then you should be ok but for us with ...

Review of Braun BSS

My girlfreind has bought these and she wants to have her say: I have very thick wavy hair and i bought these thinking they'd do the job. obviously i wasn't expecting much cos they weren't expensive, but all they did was make a nasty burning smell. I took them back and tried another pair but had the same problem so i bought some remington S8200 ones instead. Did the job perfect. The things i did like however were that it was cordless, a great feature ...
...they fit into my bag great and do have a quite stylish look. They also heat up quickly, to the right temperature (although they did get abit hot sometimes) and perform as good as any product that has a cord. Im not saying they wont work for you but for my type of heair they just refused to striaghten. I would however reccoment the remmington ones. Although theyre not as nice looking atleast they do what theyre supposed to. Hope i've been helpful ...

Review of Braun BSS

when i had bought this straightener it was a total waste of money because the cartridge ran out in just a week and i hardly used it so i wasted my money, where i could have used it of some nice jewellery instead! this product is not very reliable and in my opinion shud be taken out of the market no offence but i wasted my mney and would not want you to either. instead of this product there are other straighteners worth buyin! it only costs alittle ...
...to wait atleast 2 minutes! for it to hafly heat up! and the cartriges cost between £3 - 15 n everytime you buy them you will end up spending more than the straigtheners price!! which is a total waste of time..... well thats about it theres really nothing good to say about it!! ...
