My Big Hair blew up this morning

[aGnotherGnu]

So what do I replace it with? I had a couple of years' daily use of it, generally like it but a bit annoyed it went pop.

Do I buy another or has something else come out in the meantime I should consider?

I have fine hair in a chin length bob which I like to curl under at the ends and try to get volume on the top

Mine went pop recently too.

My hair sounds similar to yours, so I bought the new smaller-barrelled Big Hair (pink rather than purple). It seems to be even better than the original one (as long as it keeps working....).

Ooh that's interesting. Smaller would indeed be better.

I also remember reading about some very expensive thing people were raving about, but can't remember what it was

Mine lasted a year before going on fire.......

Oh Lordy I didn't realise the blowing up was a common feature! It did produce an interesting smell, and a sort of glow from the inside

If you bought it from Boots or Argos, they have a 3 year guarantee. My friend has had hers replaced in Boots without any problem. You would need the receipt though......

Agnother, is the expensive thing you're thinking of the babyliss perfect curl?

It was Boots, but no idea at all where the receipt is.
Yes the perfect curl, that was it. Is it any good?

lol at title

I've never used the perfect curl but I know it's for creating curls so doesn't do the same job as a BBH and wouldn't work on chin length hair.

That's a relief, I really can't justify the spends on that anyway :)

So maybe another Big Hair, but a small one (keeping the receipt this time and accepting that it will probably blow up / catch fire at some stage)

Damn. I bought mine from Superdrug.

New one was from Argos; I shall be hanging onto the receipt in case this one goes bang too.

Oh yes, they go phht easily enough. Stick the receipt to the box, fling it in the wardrobe (yes I am v tidy ) somewhere. There is a guarantee with them and once you show the receipt (which you will now fairly easily find cos it's taped to a flipping big box that takes up a lot of room) the store will very happily hand you another BBH.

I am cursed.

Due to my blown up BBH, I dug my hair dryer and round brush out (not used for months). Plug in, switch on an BANG.

2 appliances in 3 days. Should I be suspicious / call an exorcist?

Check the socket?

Babyliss replaced mine but that blew aswell. A hairdresser tried that new perfect curl on me and it's amazing but not sure I would buy one.

Oh I read that and thought 'wow what a title' and clicked to see what exactly your hair was up to

I didn't realise you were talking about a product

I've had two break on me, they simply stopped rotating, which seems to be a common problem.
