Advantages: 3 different attachments
Disadvantages: water and electric!! The straighteners are not too good

My step Daughter came home from her Nan's after Christmas with a nice little set called steam dream. This has three attachments to do different things with your hair. As she is only ten years old and I didn't want her to burn anything I thought I would check them out first before letting her use them at her own will. My First thoughts They are pink! Ok for a little girl, hang on there is a small container of water on the end, I don't like the ...
...not mix well. So I decided to plug them in a see if they would burn the carpet if left on its side. Well the answer to that was no I don't think they would, the metal plates are tucked away inside the casing but as I picked them up water dripped from the end. I decided against letting Jazmin use them at her own will she would have to be supervised so I put them up until I had time to help her use them. What you get in the box There are three ...

Advantages: Good for the price
Disadvantages: cant think of anything

I have been using Braun gas powered styling wands for more years than I care to remember - having been born with straight hair (and having a mother who really wanted me to have curls) over the years I have spent time and money trying to introduce a 'bend' into it. Not for me the tight curls I had as a child (courtesy of my mother perming it on a regular basis) nor is the straight hair so popular these days. I like a little 'bend' just enough to ...
...So, as my old Braun was loooking a little tired, I went out seeking a replacement. My wanderings took me into Curry's where they were offering the Braun Smoothstyler C31S for just £12.99 - the shelf edge label suggested this was 'half price' and I never can resist a bargain! The box comes complete with the styler, cover, styling brush a small and a large gas refill and a small and large handle to suit the gas refills - which is pretty good value ... Read review

Advantages: Gives hair healthy shine
Disadvantages: none

I purchased this styler some months ago, but after years of struggling to style my hair and purchasing many hair styling gadgets that were unsuccesful, I didn't really hold out much hope for it. It is brilliant. Its quick, easy and makes my hair look healthy and shiny. It took a few goes to get the hang, but I couldn't be without it now. You basically just brush your damp hair in the direction and style that you desire until completely dry and finish ...
...hair like straightening does and it isn't tricky and time consuming like blow drying. I have very limp, lifeless hair, but I don't even find I have to use hair products to help hold the style. Since using this styler, for the first time in my life, I can actually style my hair to look like I've just been to the hairdressers! ... Read review

Advantages: cordless, long lasting, good quality, good results
Disadvantages: water reservoir is a bit small

...friend kindly bought me the Braun c20s as a birthday gift. Since it's lasted me so well, I thought I'd better review it! A few months ago, my sister moved away and wanted one of her own - I didn't know if it would still be available, but phew! it is - it's now called the Braun smoothstyler - the same thing but probably slightly different looking, and possibly improved. What you get The instructions (description, instructions for inserting ...
...the steam function, switching it on and tips and instructions for styling and steaming). I like the fact that the instructions have diagrams with text underneath - it's easier to understand. A brush attachment The styler A plastic cover that clips over the styler 2 energy cells (I'm glad they don't make you buy them separately) The Perks It's cordless - I've used it on the go quite a few times with no disasters (other than people in the ...

Advantages: heats up quickly
Disadvantages: awkward to use, can get better results with strightners.

Waited a while before getting these as wasn't entirely sure they would do what they promised,but saw them an sale and thought why not give them a go. Wish i hadn't bothered. Even when following the instructions to the letter 9 times out of ten all i got was a bump in my hair, on the odd occaission i did get a curl it, it was litterally one in the whole strand of hair ( my hair is fairly long , midway down back) in addition to this the strighteners ...
...and got better results, i have had a few other pairs of babylis strightners and must say these havn't impressed me much either. On the plus side these do heat up VERY quickly so at a push i may use them as strighteners if i really was in a rush. The whole idea behind these is to make curling your hair as easy as strightening it, so my advise is to spend the money on a decent pair of striaghteners and do it that way, or even a cheap curling tong, ...
