Vidal Sassoon VS049

This season's MUST HAVE look is achieveable! If you want the natural, tousled effect, these are perfect for the job!

~~~~MAIN FEATURES~~~~
>>'Barrell' Shape- The barrell shape makes the curls look big and boucy. The tousle tongs are for tousles, big curls at the end of the hair, so if you want all-over curl or ringlets, these won't do the job. The barrell makes the curl get from large to small towards the scalp- but will only curl the bottom half- as these are what tousles are.

>>Ceramic- The barrell is ceramic, therefore leaves hair smooth. Some hair curlers can make hair dry- especially round the ends. This tong really makes your curls 'silky' and therefore more natural and bouncy.

>>Heat settings- These tongs have not one, not two, but TEN heat settings! Which i have found an advantage depending on what kind of curl you want. My hair in quite thin and i prefer the curls to look 'natural', so i use the medium heat. The higher setting is for more exaggerated curls and the lowest doesn't produce curls- more of an 'S' shape.

>>Digital LCD Panel- The panel tells you the heat setting and whether the temperature is going incresing or decreasing. This is good for presion of temperature.

~~~~ADDITONAL FEATURES~~~~
>>Swivel cord- To curl your hair, you need to swivel the tongs, and to prevent the cord getting tangled, the cord swivels with it too. The cord, may i add, is of a resonable length (approximately 2m), which is useful if you have to extend to a socket quite far away or if you're using a hairdryer and tongs etc.

>>Stand- On the tongs there is a stand to raise the barrell from the ground. This prevents any possibilty of the surface it is placed on, catching fire.

>>Automatic Switch off- After 3/4hour, the tongs turn off automatically. Good for the forgetful of us- like me. If you take longer than 3/4hour to style your hair, the tongs heat up so fast , it doesn't really affect your styling.

~~~~THE RESULTS~~~~
It does take some time to master the technique of it, so i would suggest a 'try out' before the night of a party. One problem I did find, is that sometimes the curls can go the 'same way', which doesn't really look natural or curly- it just looks like a kink. I no longer have this problem as i have layers and tousles are going in all sorts of directions. Though if you do have hair of the same length everywhere- these are probably not for you. The ceramic really does make your hair shiny and smooth. Sometimes i have found with other tongs, is that you get a few hair 'outside the curl, making it look like frizz than anything, but not here. The curls are beautiful and bouncy.
