Advantages: Light and packs away in handy case anas all the attachments you might need
Disadvantages: Sometimes forget which accessory does what!

I bought this hairdryer (hot air styler) quite a while ago now when my old one (approx 20 years old) finally gave up the ghost. It has 1000 watt output and two hot and one cool heat settings and mine came with all the attachments pictured above. I am listing these in the order pictured from left to right so that you can easily identify them and the words in brackets are paraphrasing the manufacturer's description for each attachment): Concentrator ...
...comb (adding volume by lifting the roots while styling); ¾" Thermal Brush Head (for waving and curling medium to long hair & getting body in short hair); 1 1/2" Bristle Brush Head (for volume & body in medium/long hair); Finger Bowl Diffuser (for volume and lift) Everything neatly packs away into a decent sized carry case. When I first bought the dryer I had quite short hair, so only used the concentrator with a small hand held brush, and the ... Read review

Advantages: 4 style adaptors and comes complete in a zipped bag.
Disadvantages: Not multi voltage.

I have owned this product for some while now and use it all the time. I must confess that I rarely use the attachments other than the thermal brush but having long straight hair (and not very much of it) it's perfect for me. I'm sure the other attachments will be just as useful to other types of hair though. The bag, appliance and attachments weight about 700 grams which is a consideration when travelling. The 1000 watt styler operates on 230 V~ ...
...USA) without a transformer. It is available from many outlets at around £20. The bag. The styler comes in a smart soft, black nylon bag, about 24 x 14 x 12cms, that zip fastens and has a carrying handle at the top. All the parts fit in this bag easily with space for a comb or small brush and maybe a small hairspray. (I use this bag as a toilet bag too). Inside you have the main component of the set, the hairdryer itself. This is a cylinder shape ... Read review

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

...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.
