Its a very fantastic straightener works perfectly. Lat for long hours. But very time i start a machine it makes some kind of voice.

Starting off this hair iron worked great. I was using it at 200' where my old iron was 210'. This made my hair straight in seconds & was perfect for curling. Iv been using it for 3 months now twice a week and my hair is totally ruined. Full of split ends & very coarse. My hair was naturally wavy but if I just let it dry naturally its dead straight & limp. I had really good hair before using this. I was also using a heat protection spray but the damage has been done. For occasional use the iron is good but I wouldnt recommend it for normal use as it really damages your hair over time.

Firstly, id like to talk about the design of these straighteners. They are a beautiful violet colour, with sparkles and they look elegant. The swivel chord is great and the wire is long! these straighteners heat up before i am even ready to straighten my hair, brilliant! Never have to waste precious time again! I have frizzy, wavy hair and the 'side bits' and my fringe are descustingly curly. With my old straighteners, it would be over half an hour to get my hair straightened nicely.. These only take 15-20 mins! bearing in mind my hair is literally a nightmare to straighten. cuts the time in HALF. I straighten bigger sections of hair, and just one 'stroke'? gets it perfectly straight.! These dont pull on your hair at the ends, so you dont get split ends and annoying pain of the pulling. I never had my hair straight, on its own all day before because without a doubt, it would go frizzy and curly again. But now it doesnt! I have had so many compliments saying my hair looks so much nicer,and people asking if i had had it cut and what id done to it! to be honest, my 4 star rating is harsh, because these clearly are 5 stars! literally my ONLY problem is that when it is hot and sticky, the sweat goes on to my 'baby hairs' and fringe and makes it the tiniest bit curly, but no where near as much as before! but honestly, I cant blame these straighteners for that at all! Overall, i am so so pleased with these! extremely good price from Argos. £40 quid you can not go wrong! I can say these are better than GHD's. hand on heart! I have owned these for under a month therefore i can not comment on the durability as well, however they look like they will last me a very long time! & when these brake (if they do) I ill be sure to purchase these exact same ones, DEFINATELY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! great, great buy! This review came from a 12 year old, who cares about her hair so so much! I take risks, but not with my hair! These straighteners reached all of my expectations including more!

I have struggled with my unruly, wavy thick hair for years, used various straightners, inc GHD, never got a great finish, then i bought these. Wow, my hair looks great, takes no time at all to do. I like the heat mat, great idea and love the fancy bag that came with them. The best bit is I bought them at Argos for 38.00, THEY'RE MEANT TO BE ABOUT £90.00. What a saving. THE DEAL IS STILL ON GIRLS. GO FOR IT!

there the best hair straighteners i have ever used and though may not be the favourite of everyone they certainly are top place on my list they're great value for my money and i think they will last a long time they are used by the worlds leading hairdressers because they provide an excelent shine to you hair from the first use they have a small red light that flashes when plates are heating and stops when plates have fully heated, you can adjust the heat with a small switch that goes up to a good heat so if you did touch the plates would burn but wouldn't be critical i have had my babyliss pro straightners for just over a year and i swear they have never failed to impress my friends have used them and the results are unbelieveable they have even stated that their hair is the straightest its ever been, i have short thick brown hair and i have used ghds and other straightners and they haven't worked on my hair but my babyliss pro 230 elegance straightners work perfectly. they come in a wide range of colours that suit everybody's taste and they will never fail to impress!!!

I got my straightners half price and when i used them my hair looked amazing.A few day's before i got them, my hairdresser done my hair and did my hair with her ghd's.A few day's later i used mine on a lower heat setting and mine worked just as good.Would deffo buy again.They look amazing and mine came with a heat mat and a lovely bag to put them in which is very stylish.

I have naturally very curly hair and have been using Remington wet to straight straighteners for 6 years. I used to have to do a section of hair about 3 to 4 times before it went straight. With the Babyliss Pro230 Elegance straighteners, one glide down the section of hair and it is straight and that is even without them being on the hottest setting!. Saves a lot of time and an aching arm!. I am so pleased with these that I wished I had bought them sooner. I would recommend them to anyone.

Bought these last year for my daughter. They worked so well that we ended up sharing them. I got them half price at £49 and it's the best money i've ever spent! A year down the line and they are still working excellently. They come with a little bag and a heat proof mat. My daughter did once lay them down onto the bag for a brief second and the gold colouring came of the bag and stuck to the straighteners - so don't put them away in the bag when still hot! They straighten hair quickly and effortlessly and the straightness lasts! Hair just slides through no problems. Because we both think they are that good and we both use them I have just bought another pair - so the fighting for them is over! - the new ones are purple (which is nicer than the old gold/bronzy colour of our older pair) and are slightly longer (i can't get them to fit into the bag/pouch they came with, so that's a silly design, but hay who puts them away in a bag after every use anyway?) and they come with a better & smaller heat-protective mat. I hope the fact that i have bought another pair of these a year down the line is recommendation enough (these to were half-price at argos). So for £50 they are well well worth the money, at full price I think i'd go the whole hog and have GHD's but just to say i had GHD's not because i think they are better. I've used GHD's and truthfully can't tell the difference, they didn't straighten any easier, quicker or make my hair straighter for longer. So for me getting the same result on my hair (and my daughters) for half the money is money very well spent.

I have course short hair. I find these straighteners tick all the boxes. Best I have ever used.

Great product. Excellent! Worth every penny

I bought these straighteners today and so far I am happy with them. They look nice and sleek, the bag that comes with it is lovely. The irons slide through my hair so smoothly and leave my hair incredible smoothe and shiny. The fully rotatable cord makes I so easy to use. The only down point is when you go out into humid weather my hair starts to frizz.not good. But apart from that they are a great priced good pair of straighteners. :)

Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance is ok, but I didnt get the result I would hope for. I am getting some GHD's soon as I know they are very good and will not be taking any risks of wasting my money(like I did on this)

Very good! Though if I go out into the cold straight after straightening, it unstraightens (goes wavy, flicky) does not give that nice shine. Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance straightens really quickly, heats up quickly, gorgeous appearance!

Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance are so good!
Seriously if you are considering spending a fortune on GHDs, don't!
I usually use my mum's GHDs because my straighteners were broken and these straighteners make my hair just as straight and actually smoother than with GHDs. They are also excellent for curling, you don't have to have your hair poker straight!
They also come with a stylish bag and clips for dividing your hair! I got them at half price and they are so worth the money, don't bother forking out on straighteners that are just as good!

I bought the Babyliss Pro 230 Elegance straighteners for £120 and to be honest I don't think they are that good. I suppose theyr'e ok if you hair is mostly straight anyway, but i have very wavy, frizzy hair and didn't think they worked that good.

i loved them!! nice colour. hair stays straight all day/night, but expensive

I was really happy with these straighteners. Friends GHDs leave hair no straighter and I know others feel they are very expensive. GHD's are overrated!!!! Great straighteners, reasonable price, look good and come with a heat protecting mat, clips and carry purse. A great buy 10/10

I had the same dilemma that most people seem to have on here: should I fork out for GHDs or are other straighteners just as good? Well I'm really glad I bought the babylis ones instead of the GHDs. I straightened my hair with my sister's GHDs last week and got just as good results today with my new Babylis ones. I have really thick and frizzy hair and it made it really straight and smooth. They go up to 23o degrees just like the GHDs and both are ceramic. I really don't thing the GHDs are worth the extra.
