Babyliss Straight n Shine

If you are really desperate to get your hair straighter, then the Straight 'n' Shine will make some difference. But unless you have pretty short hair that's quite willing to be sculpted, you'll be standing there a very long time. The device requires that you clamp the hotplates over your frizz, squeezing and releasing as you run them throughout your hair. Since this means your arm hangs there at an awkward angle while your fingers constantly grasp the plates, be warned: your arm will be aching. Whether all this is actually good for your hair is debatable. There's an option to pour water into a little detachable case that attaches to ...  Read the complete review

I too have very wavy hair and i hate it. It is also quite thick. The straightener is a god send in the morning when my fringe sticks to my face or curls up. In just 5 minutes the straightener is at the right temperature and gets my hair just how i want it. In no time at all. It will easily fit in my bag also. The straightner uses gas, this lasts quite long and doesn't cost that much! It makes my hair silky smooth and de-frizzes it after being exposed to rain. ...  Read the complete review

Ive had the Babyliss Straight and Shine now for a few years. Ive never had any other, so maybe its absolute rubbish in comparison to others - I dont know! But I very much doubt it! Ive got your traditional "love to hate" hair, it is horrid (or at least I think it is!!). Its quite thick, wavy and generally goes frizzy at the thought of rain or drizzle outside! As for chlorinated swimming pools! - well you dont want to know! However, when my parents bought me this little gadget for my 15th birthday I was really chuffed! What it does is quite simple! You have 2 plates that heat up (they do get very hot too, so be ...  Read the complete review

I bought my daughter one of these for her birthday last year and she had some fun with it for a while. She has really curly hair and like everyone with curls she wanted it straight, heavens knows why but what does a mother know about these things. You crimp your hair with it and it gives out a shot of steam to straighten it out. It took her about ten minutes to acquire the straight look but it did make her hair go very dry. She added some conditioner gloss the second time and it did improve the effect. I did tell her to read the instructions through first but she had to get straight in there. I had a bash on my locks then, well I love to ...  Read the complete review

I have hair that has always had a natural kink in it, which is very annoying, as I prefer to have my hair to be very straight. Over the years I have tried everything from attempting to iron it straight or just blow-dry the kink out with my hair-dryer, but none have been totally successful. Then about 6 or 7 years ago, I started using the normal type of hair straightener’s, these helped a lot, but I found out they were actually ruining my hair and drying it out. Then about 2 years ago, I was bought a set of Babyliss Straight and Shine for a Christmas present. Since that day, I have never looked back, and have never had to resort to the drastic ...  Read the complete review
