Review of Braun C31S Smoothstyler by
laramax
Advantages: Very portable can use it anywhere, tried and tested
Disadvantages: Need to purchase refills
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 ...

My most useful hair aid
Review of Braun GCS 70 Style N'GO by
KarenSioned
Advantages: Easy to use,pack and does the job
Disadvantages: You have to remember to buy replacement cartridges
I love my Braun style and go, it is so verstaile and easy to use.
it is small enough to carry in a bag or suitcase- indeed I never go without my style'n go.
This hair styler relies on gas cartridges to heat the curling tongs/ brush.
It is simple to use, just place the cartridge into the base, click into place and youare ready to go.
To switch on- all you need to do is slide the 'on' button from the '0' setting to the '1' setting,you then click ... ...few seconds for the item to heat up and you are ready to go!
THis styler can be used with the brush attatchment or the tongs, Yyou can find this by sliding the brush attatchment off the tongs. You may need to depress the catch to release this.
I tend to use the brush attatchment most of the time as this is what styles my hair best. I have shoulder length hair and very difficult to hold hair.
You can get some lovely curls and waves of a medium ...

Overall a nice product
Review of Carmen 10878 ST/DRM by
xx-rowan-xx
Advantages: Curlers work well, not much chance of burns, steam stops curls from falling out
Disadvantages: straighteners aren't much good!
This product comes with a handle, a curling attatchment, a flicking atattchment and a straightening atattchment which clip onto the handle. It is mains powered and comes with two free gifts.
I found this product generally quite good. The curling attatchment worked nicely and although flicking one also worked quite well it took a while to learn to use effectively. however, the straighteners were difficult to use as they are too wide and they didnt ... ...to get rid of. The steam works well but I found that unless you screw it on very well, the water container tends to leak and so you have to empty it between use which can be a bit of a pain. Also although the clip is a good idea it leaves a kink in your hair.
Overall this was a good product and another good feature is that it is hard to burn you head as most of it is plastic. ...

Quick and easy hair styler
Review of Babyliss Beliss Styler by
Sare200175
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! ...
