And I LOVE it! My hair is thickish and wavy but now I can make it amazingly curly in just 30 mins. It is expensive but boy is it worth it! Amazing amazing amazing :)

I have one on my wish list, think I'd have to swap my dh first though to get one. Are they as good as they look?

Sindarella · 30/10/2013 18:20

Ooo mine comes tomo! Grin

LynetteScavo · 30/10/2013 18:23

I think I need to put this on my Christmas list!

30 minutes sounds like ages, though. Hmm

How is it different from the Babyliss Curl Secret? Confused

I have a ridiculous amount of hair Lynette Grin. They are as good as they look. So easy to use and no bits getting tangled up although it stops if that happens and beeps so cant go wrong. I have been experimenting with the different temps and curls it can do from loose to tight. I now do the sides then a small straight quiff on top that I pin to the side. Looks fab and still looks good the day after. So refreshing after straightening my hair for years as I was getting bored with flat hair.

We couldn't work out the difference either DH just spoke to some friends and got the one my hairdresser friend has since I had been admiring it after she used if for a mates wedding last month. Will try and put a pic on my profile...

You look GORGEOUS!

meanwhile I'm trying to get my head round the phrase 'just 30 mins' when it comes to hair Grin

There's a reason why I look like a bag lady much of the time...

Well to be fair I doubt I will have time to do it everyday. I am far too lazy. But straightening my mop took 45 mins so this is an improvement!

Oh god I love curls. I've had sooooo many gadgets.....

How well does your hair take/hold curls?? Mines poker straight, fine and silky and does NOT like curling. Even perms used to fall out really quickly.

Off to google the gadgets.....

Vix1980 · 30/10/2013 19:45

I NEED ONE NOW!!!!! Grin

My hair never ever stays in curls, its very thick and heavy, i wonder if this would work even on mine and save my arms aching from trying to tong it all!

chipsandpeas · 30/10/2013 19:56

Well mine is fairly thick so holds curls well but my friends is fine and straight and it worked very well for her wedding hair :)

It is amazing and works really well on thick and fine hair. I've used it for nights out and for shows (am dram) with lotsnif dancing and being thrown around and the curls really last.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 31/10/2013 09:08

would it work on collar length hair?

SorrelForbes · 31/10/2013 09:30

Yep, definitely.

ringaringarosy · 31/10/2013 09:53

how loose is the loose setting though?what setting did you use op?I like lose curls but anytihng ringlety reminds me of naff irish dancers!

SorrelForbes · 31/10/2013 10:51

Very loose. You have different temperatures and time settings to choose from. I can do very big loose curls and waves in my shoulder length hair. It'll do brilliant ringlets as well.

alemci · 31/10/2013 10:54

you look lovely Lynette. :)

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 31/10/2013 12:18
