Review of Babyliss Pro Porcelain Rebel Conical Wand Hair Curling Tong

Babyliss pro 200 ceramic straightener

Advantages: Inexpensive
Disadvantages: Sometimes damage hair, no variable heat settings, take a while to heat up

...you have thick hair, I wouldn't reccomend them. *It takes at least three strokes to completely straighten my (thin) hair. The good points about these straighteners: *I like the cool tips. My old straighteners did not have these, and I found myself burning my fingers on the ends! *The soft fabric around the plate-area *The fact that they are slim makes them easy to store and easy to style shorter hair. *The floating plates provide even pressure *3x ceramic plates for extra protection from heat. *There is a 3 year guarantee on these straighteners, which I think is fairly good for what I paid for. These straighteners are also good for curling hair, as the barrel is fairly round so as not to create odd-shaped curls. To curl my hair with these straighteners, I take a lock and twist it round the straightener until it is fully...

Review of BaByliss PRO 200 SLIM

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

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

At last ive found some crimpers that work!

Advantages: Heats up really fast with 3 different heat settings
Disadvantages: Cant get really close to scalp

...For the past good few years ive been taking hours to crimp my hair using the old babyliss crimpers which werent ceramic, thinking there was nothing better out there..until i stumbled across some ceramic ones ....in the argos book!!!! FAB!!! These are brilliant! Heat up in a matter of seconds, with three different heat settings for different hair its brilliant. It looks good with a matt black finish too. The cord is really long so no difficulty there either. The crimp stays in all day even without the help of hairspray or other products, even the next day after sleeping on my hair, its all still in, this is really strange for me as hairstyles usually fall out. This is probably due to the fact i use the highest heat setting and im probably wrecking my hair but hey! it looks good! Haha! The only thing i was slightly dissapointed...

Review of Babyliss Pro Ceramic Crimper

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...

Review of babyliss pro 230, hair straightener

Am I Turned On?

Advantages: Tames my hair.
Disadvantages: Turning them off is too easy.

...When my last straighteners eventually died from overuse I had two options--turn into a hermit and never leave the house again due to permanent bad hair days or fork out some money and buy a new pair. Needless to say I thought the second was a more practical option so I started searching around for a suitable replacement. My previous straighteners had been Babyliss and I had been very happy with them. I have several friends who recommended GHD but since I didn't intend to rob a bank I felt I should choose something a bit cheaper( although GHDs do keep appearing on my Christmas lists!). How Much and What Do You Get? I purchased these around Christmas time and they were on half price offer at Argos at £28. I think the current selling price seems to be about £59 but I have seen them on offer on various sites so I would suggest it...

Review of BaByliss 2034U PRO 230

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...
