Anyone seen the Babyliss Big Hair reduced anywhere?

[GlindaForGood]

I have Argos vouchers so really hoped it would be reduced there but they aren't. Are they reduced anywhere?

[StephenKatzCrackerHat]

Ooh stella thanks for that, I may have to borrow my Mum's Makro card!

[stella69x]

I just paid £26.99 inc vat in makro. Purchase not totally inspired by S&B oh no.

[SirChenjin]

So glad you got yours bigbutton . My birthday is in a couple of months so will ask DH for one then - sadly this months salary has gone on new school shoes and uniforms for the teens who have both worn out their shoe leather and taken growth spurts!

[princessalbert]

Oh thanks princessflirtypants

I will look out for the babyliss, it sounds to be the best.

Lidl had some cheapo version in today. I didn't see the price, but the brand name was Desperate Housewives!

[bigbuttons]

the bigger one has been fine for me. I am growing my hair but it was a chin length bob. I have got the smaller one because I think it will be better. The bigger one should be fine for you though.

[PrincessFlirtyPants]

princessalbert I have the tresemme one and its ok, it does add volume but its not amazing.

[HaplessHousewife]

So, I have just below shoulder length hair but it's quite fine so should I go for the big or small one – will the big one make my hair too, well big? I am going to grow it longer at some point but have to wait for the condition to improve.

Amazon have the small one for £36.99 but don't want to get it if I'm better off with the big one...

[bigbuttons]

Sirchenjin mine arrived today. i thought about you when I opened it

[FalalalalalalaFiggy]

They're down to £39.99 in boots not much of a discount but am tempted

[SirChenjin]

I just got an email from them late this morning, so if you haven't heard anything you should be OK - will keep my fingers crossed that you got there in time

[bigbuttons]

oh no! I haven't heard anything from Asda! I hope I got there just in time

[SirChenjin]

Argh - Asda have just sent me a refund, they're out of stock apparently

[GlindaForGood]

Ended up getting the 50mm one from Argos, it only cost me a fiver on top of my vouchers so not bad really. I nearly went for the 42mm one for £28 in Asda, my store had one left on the shelf this afternoon, but glad I didn't because the big one is great. My hair is about 2 inches below my shoulders, I think the 42mm would have been too small.

I've used it on my 4yr daughter and I, we both look fabulous now

[SirChenjin]

Yes - you have to dry your hair first until it's damp, and then use the BBH on sections of hair. If I'm in a rush I use it on dry hair too - it takes the worst of the kinks out.

[jennimoo]

Slightly OT but how do you use the BBH? Do you have to dry your hair mostly first or does it work from towel dried?

[bigbuttons]

Oh good, hope it works for you

[SirChenjin]

Just ordered the smaller one from Asda - thanks for the link bigbuttons

Does the Tresemme one spin?

[princessalbert]

Gah

tresemme

Does the Tresemme version do the same thing??

[bigbuttons]

I find it hard to do the back with the big one and I think the smaller one would give me more control iyswim?

[SirChenjin]

I'm wondering whether to go for that smaller one too now - my hair is thick collar length, and sometimes the big one does make my hair big (which I guess is the point )

[bigbuttons]

sirchenjin thank you, yes I know. I have the bigger one, have had it for years, love it, but I have a short ish bob!! I have managed ok with the bigger barrel but really wanted to see what it was like to have one that actually suited my hair length!

[Hadmeathello]

Big buttons, wilkinsons have them in store. Not sure of price this year.

[Bakingnovice]

Can you use the small one on long hair if hair is very fine?
