Vidal Sassoon VS 254 UK Ionic Belly Rollers

Advantages: look quite stylish
Disadvantages: poor heat levels, vibrates, doesn't straighten hair

...days after that. I would not recommend the Vidal Sassoon VS880 at all. They look fantastic but are completely useless. It is a sad indictment that an iron and ironing board can produce results that by far exceed a specialist product in a shorter space of time and with a lot less hassle. For me, these hair straighteners are by far my worst purchase of 2007 and a mistake I will not be making again.

The curved edges mean that you can also curl under and flick out easily. - there is a two year guarantee which is fab because my last ones (Nicky Clarke) gave up the ghost after just a year so I feel reassured that these ones will last at least two! - they are ionic which means that they do less damage to your hair which is very reassuring.

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: No different temperature settings

Vidal Sassoon are a very well-known and highly respected brand for making straighteners, hair dryers, blow dryers, curling tongs and many more. The straighteners are a classic and simple design but are still excellent for straightening your hair with. The colour of them also helps them to keep the heat in as they are black and black absorbs heat. It has a logn wire which makes it convenient to use as you don't have to be near the socket all the time. It does not have different temperature settings but it does reach a high temperature in a short period of time which makes it easy to use for everyone.... Read review
