BaByliss Straight & Shine Steam Straightener

Firstly- I am suprised that this striaghtener has got so many good reviews. I have wavy hair which isn't too thick- but doesn't look very nice if i leave it in a natural style.

Having straight, sleek, shiny beautiful hair at the comfort of your own home and without having to visit expensive hair-salons is what I call ?every girl?s dream?.

This was the first straightener that i owned when the straightening craze first started.I thought the straightener itself looked really nice and was impressed with the premise that steam would add condition and aid straightening. Well,it didnt work as well as I had originally hoped.The plates are really difficult to get to grips with as you have to force them down yourself to clamp them together.After a while this really hurts!It took me about half an hour to straighten one side of my hair and my hair is not that thick and only to mu shoulders.
