Good Points

100% ceramic plates
Wide straightening plates useful if you have long hair
Comb on plate helps to keep hair taught


Bad Points

Don't get very hot and heat up slowly
Wide plates makes it difficult to straighten your fringe
On/off switch easy to catch when you are doing your hair so you turn it off mid-straightening.
Hair doesn't stay straight all day


General Comments

I was bought BaByliss Trevor Sorbie Straighteners as a Christmas present after seeing the adverts which made them look fab and also because of the Trevor Sorbie name.

However, I find it highly unlikely that any professional salons would use them as they are so slow! They take ages to heat up, then don't even get that hot. They have a good pressure action, but I find that my hair gets caught in the hinge at the bottom. Also sometimes the action isn't very smooth, tugging my hair and leaving it static and flyaway.

Essentially, it doesn't make a very good job of straightening my fine, wavy, long hair, but friends with straight shorter hair have found they worked. I find I have to blow-dry my hair almost straight first anyway to get a good result, meaning it takes ages to do. It doesn't get it completely straight if I have left it to dry naturally and I don't even have very thick curly hair. Then those pesky waves creep back in at the first sign of moisture in the air!

Because they were a present, I have persevered with using them, but after reading helpful reviews on this site I am going to get either the Remington Power Ceramic or GHS as they seem 100% more quick and efficient. Can't choose which though - any advice would be useful :o)

Overall, I was disappointed with this product and wouldn't recommend it.
