Review of Babyliss Pro Porcelain Rebel Conical Wand Hair Curling Tong

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

GHD Styler - hair straighteners that save time and effort!

Advantages: heats up quickly! straightens, curls and creates waves! turns off automatically if left on!!
Disadvantages: can't straighten when hair is wet

...I have always been sceptical when it comes to buying an item that ?everyone has/wants?; which is why when it came to the time to decide what to buy to straighten my hair, I was hesitant to select one from the GHD range. Their obviously higher prices seemed to be more for a one of Christmas or birthday present, not something solely for vanity purposes! However, when I came to finally decide to buy this product, I was AMAZED. Truly, coming from someone who loves to do her hair all the time and takes pride in her appearance, this product certainly shaved off so much time from my daily routine. I can straighten and curl with it, which makes things so much easier. It?s great for the daytime look, and for the evening outs ? when you want to change your usual appearance. It heats up quickly, which makes it even more convenient. After 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

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

A Very Very Good Hair Day!

Advantages: Heat very quickly, Thin irons are perfect for men and women
Disadvantages: None

...After having very short and spiky hair for most of my teens and early 20's, I decided earlier this year that I need a change and decided to grow my hair. When it got to a certain length, I purchased a pair of £20 straighteners from a supermarket. Being the 'typical' man, I decided that straighteners were straighteners, and I was not going to pay over the odds for a product that would no doubt do the job just as well. After getting sick and tired of waiting about 5 minutes for my straighteners to heat up, and about 45 minutes trying to get my hair straight, I decided on the recomendation of my friend to purchase a pair of the GHD mini thin straighteners. They come in a neatly presented box, with quite stylish packaging. The box had instructions on how to use and safety advice, which I would recomend reading due to the heat factor...

Review of Ghd Mini Styler - Hair Straighteners

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...

The Amazing Pink Straighteners!!

Advantages: creates beautifully straight hair
Disadvantages: none

...A lot of people class GHDs as the top brand in straighteners, but as I had never used any GHDs before, I was slightly disbelieving as to their performance. However, I soon discovered once I owned a pair that they deserve the praise and fantastic reviews they receive. They are a stunning piece of technology, which have none of the faults or criticisms which some other brands have. I was given my straighteners for Christmas, but wanted to really test them properly before writing my review. I didn't want to just write away with my rose-tinted glasses on!! I have to say though that I needn't have waited, I have not been disappointed with them. I have naturally curly/wavy hair, which once blow dried seems to triple in size, and becomes a big, fluffy, frizzy mess. Over the years I have despaired so much, and was so thrilled when I bought...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

Excellent Straighteners & a Great Gift

Advantages: Durable, Perfect Straight Hair, So Simple To Use
Disadvantages: Don't use on wet hair it damages them

...I won't go into amazing detail as there are so many good reviews on here but i bought these for my girlfriend as she kept borrowing out her old GHD's which her friend seemed to ruin and she loves them. She is a hairdresser and swears by GHD she should actually just change jobs and promote them that?s how passionate and convincing she can be. And to quote her in some way - Yes they are more expensive than most of the other brands but unless you are really unlucky you will never need to own another pair of straighteners again as they are so good and durable. The fact that she can do hers & my hair in just one stoke achieving perfect straightness is amazing and after seeing others struggle and steam go flying into the hair i recommend you spend the extra pennies because it is worth it. For £119 get them for yourself, girlfriend whoever...

Review of Ghd Limited Edition Styler - Hair Straightener

GHDS= Great Hot Devine Straighteners

Advantages: Produces a sleek sexy look
Disadvantages: Cant think of any

...These pink ghds limited edition were retailing at around £119 a pair. They heat up in under twenty second- when the little red LED has stopped flashing they are ready to use and it also makes a funny noise to let you know when they are ready. The straighteners irons themselves are solid ceramic, not ceramic plated like most straighteners. This means an evenly hot distribution of heat through out the plates. They can get very hot and they heat uo to a maximum temperature of 210 degrees alowing them to produce a poker straight finish. To get the best result you shout section your hair into different parting and straighten it in sections it may take a little longer but will give you a better overall outcome. Applying certain hair products to your hair after its straight will allow you to have sleek shiny hair. I would recommend ghds to...
