Review of Babyliss Pro Porcelain Rebel Conical Wand Hair Curling Tong

Babyliss pro 230 still great after years!

Advantages: Lasted forever, good price, straighten brilliantly
Disadvantages: No safety temperature gage, not good for curling

...I'm not sure if these are even still available for sale. However, i purchased my pair of these straighteners 3 years ago and they are still going strong, they heat up super fast, and have an adjustable temperature gage which i especially like to use if i'm using them to curl my hair. If you are looking for a straightener to act as your curler i wouldn't necessarily suggest these; although they are great straighteners they have a wide ceramic plate which really only gets a loose fat curl, which is fine just for a soft day look but i tend to use hot rollers if i want a proper curl. They are fabric along the top of the ceramics which means you can hold them for longer without burning your hands off! They also have a long cable so you can stretch them quite far. The one criticism i would say is that the temperature gage doesn't switch it...

Babyliss Pro 230 Straightener - fantastic pair of straighteners!

Advantages: Easy to use, heat up quickly, heat mat, three heat settings
Disadvantages: Can't think of any really!

...I had had my old Remington straighteners for a couple of years, so the other day I decided it was time for new ones. I bought these Babyliss Pro 230 Straighteners for £36.39 (half price in Argos). The straighteners come with a little bag with a divider in the middle to keep the cord and plug away from the hot straighteners when you pack them away. It also comes with a heat mat which is ideal for resting your straighteners on in case you damage something. The four hair dividing clips are handy too! The straighteners are so easy to use. There are three heat settings, I use the hottest as my hair is quite thick. The straighteners heat up really quickly, approx 30 seconds. My hair is quite short in areas and I find it easy to use on shorter hair as well as the longer bits. I wish I had invested in a new pair of straighteners...

Review of Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance Medium Hair Straighteners

babyliss pro 230 - does the job

Advantages: Cord length, accessories included, size, price
Disadvantages: temperature indicator

...I owned pair of non-ceramic Babyliss straighteners about 5 years ago and wasn't very impressed. However, as these were ceramic and had a decent max temperature, I thought I'd give it ago. I also didn't want to pay the price of a GHD pair. The straighteners were on special for £40 (at Superdrug). I also had a 10% discount voucher from a previous purchase at the shop, so it seemed like a good deal. The straighteners came with a heatproof travel bag and hair grips. The straighteners are very quick to heat up (about 30 seconds). The plates are also a good size - long so you can get round your head quickly, but not too wide. This means you can straighten short layers or your fringe easily. I use the straighteners most mornings to get rid of kinks/waves and use product to keep them out for the rest of the day. When I want my hair...

Review of babyliss pro 230, hair straightener

Straighten like a pro!

Advantages: Salon heat. Long cord. Inexpensive.
Disadvantages: On/off buttons easy to knock accidentally.

...I have to say I was somewhat of a late-comer to the world of hair straighteners. I was quite intrigued by them in the salons I frequented but having seen the price tags of GHD hair straighteners which I was repeatedly told were THE brand to buy, I was somewhat put off. After all, having never needed hair straighteners before could I justify a £100+ price tag for something I may never or infrequently use? This in mind, (& having tried a 'cheap' set of straighteners which my mum had bought & abandoned in the back of a cupboard...) I spoke to my hairdresser who said that many brands of straighteners were now rivalling GHD's & that the main thing to look for was a set of straighteners whch reached professional heat levels of 230 degrees. So, approx 2 years ago I did my research on Amazon & purchased the Babyliss Pro 230. The RRP...

Review of Babyliss Pro 230 Ceramic Tourmaline 230°C Hair Straighteners

Info gathered on Babyliss 230 straightener models

Advantages: Reckoned by many to be better than GHD's, are cheaper and more reliable (longer warrantee)
Disadvantages: Which model to chooose!!!

...an option anyways, and it is still a 'salon' swivel cord (3m). The corded model has 1 1/4" plates, whilst the cordless model has the slightly bigger 1 1/2" plates. "Both models have an on indicator light and a heat ready indicator light. They both have a 10 stage temperature dial and cool touch comfort fabric." Finally, there are some even newer straighteners called the BaByliss Pro 230 Elegance Bronze Straightener. This seems pretty much the same except it has ionic technology and apparently "Hair has a natural tendency to develop positive electrical charges. This tendency is amplified by the relative movement of the hair: dry frictions generate static electricity and positive ions. Ionic straighteners produce negative ions. These cancel out the positive ions and static electricity. Without static electricity the hair is...

Review of babyliss pro 230, hair straightener

babyliss pro the one

Advantages: Straight hair , gives glossy and shiny hair
Disadvantages: it can be heavt to handle , container has to be filled with water for steam function to work

...This product is great , it gives salon straightness right in the comfort of your home. I used this straightener and I am really impressed by the results and also the unique features on the straightener. It has an ionic system that helps to reduce breakage and straighten the hair effectively . It also has the steam feature where the steam is used in conjunction with the hot plates to ensure glossy results . When I used the the steam feature , I found that 2- 3 days later my hair was still straight and really glossy as well, even my work colleagues noticed . The only issue with this straightener is that it is a bit heavy to handle and it can be a pain if you use the steam feature as you have to keep refilling the water container inorder to utilise the steam . However judging form the reukts I have got , I think it is very well...

Review of BaByliss 2034U PRO 230

Excellent iron!

Advantages: Heats up fast, works great, cheap price!
Disadvantages: on/off button is in really wrong place

...I had some really old (about 7 years) iron and I really needed a new one (the old one, also babyliss was huge, the temperature was too low to straighten my hair perfectly, and it took about 30 minutes to heat up!). So I was checking all available models, that can be bought here in Estonia, read reviews and so on. At last I picked 2 models that I liked : first - GaMa (professional iron, that heats up with 3 seconds), and the second - Babyliss pro 230. I decided that I don't want to pay 2 times more for about 20 seconds difference in heating up between these 2 models, so I bought Babyliss. Unfortunately it is sold here without 4 free clips, but I really don't care, as this iron is so great! I just need to use it once on each lock and it is perfect! It doesn't go frizzy, when I go out to the street and that is all that I need. It also...

Review of babyliss pro 230, hair straightener

Babyliss Pro Spirall - Effective & excellent!!

Advantages: Heats up quickly, looks nice, effective, many heat settings
Disadvantages: Fiddly at first as the spiral guides are close together.

...My old hair curler recently broke so I had to get a replacement, and frankly, it was a few years old and needed replacing anyway. It took me quite a while to decide which hair curler to get, but I eventually opted for the Babyliss Adee&Paul Pro Spirall 2291AU. I purchased the curler from eBay for just less that £9; however, you can buy it from amazon.co.uk for about £26.43 so I was quite pleased that I had already saved quite a lot. FEATURES (taken from information booklet): "25mm Ceramic Spiral Tong for Loose Curls and Waves Thermo-Ceramic Technology for Even Heat and Smooth Styling 180 degrees Salon Temperature Total Temperature Control with 10 Heat Settings 3 Metre Swivel Cord with Professional Rubber Finish Slim Handle with Rubber Grip 4 Rubber Sectioning Clips On & Off Button LED Indicator Light Cool Safety Tip...

Review of BaByliss 2291AU PRO

Babyliss for (Slightly) More Elegant Hair

Advantages: Reliable, sturdy hair dryer with a good length guarantee
Disadvantages: Mine's about to pass its guarantee

...and came with the usual information and warnings (are there still people who might think it was a good idea to dry their hair while still in the shower?) and an attachment for focusing air direction. Mine was not a part of the accessories set which is currently available on Amazon. The dryer is a classy bronze colour with black cord and metal detailing exactly as shown in the photo. The cord is about 3 metres long; I can't currently find the exact length on the internet and am not about to get out a measuring tape. I've always found the length satisfactory! Three years ago I believe it cost me just over £20 as I would not have paid anymore and was purchased at Boots. A quick search of the internet reveals that you can find the dryer from £10 if you're willing to look around, but is generally listed as closer to £20. Even at £25 the BaByliss...
