Corioliss C2 Ultra Slim Digital Straightener - Limited Edition Red Leopard Review

Overall Rating

Adjustable temperature gauge.
Really does straighten hair well.

Plates stripped quite quickly after purchase.
Plates not covered under guarantee.
High temperature does tend to 'kill' the hair (but that's not exclusive to Corioliss)

I was persuaded to buy Corioliss C2 Ultra Slim Digital Straightener - Limited Edition Red Leopard by a Mall demonstrator when I wasn't even looking for straighteners! I was extremely annoyed to learn when I got home that I had paid £40 OVER the average price and the sales lady had assured me that I was getting them at a £20 discount!
However, I found the straighteners fantastic! Having natural Afro Caribbean hair, I was amazed at how the C2 got my hair salon straight with very little effort. Admittedly I have to use it on the highest setting of 210 degrees for best results but I think these tongs are second to none. That said, I did find that within 3 months the plates started to peel (probably due to the high heat) and that where the plates were stripped it would tug at my hair!
Unfortunately the Corioliss plates are not covered by the guarantee but I have sent a letter off to them today to complain about the short plate life as I resent having to buy the same make again within 6 months but I wouldn't choose any other product for straightening my hair. You do have to be really careful with these on the highest setting though - they are hell hot!
