    Please Do Not buy this product!!I bought these on the strength of how much I love my babyliss hair straighteners. Even though I didnt pay the full retail price I feel it was an absolute waste of money. The plates, rather than curling my hair, straightened it with the added bonus of frequently pulling my hair out. Despite repeated attempts and watching the 'How to use' video on the website, I've still had no luck. Shame because I was excited to try them out. The concept is good, but it just doesn't work. Babyliss seriously need to have a re-think on this product....like throwing it in the bin, which is probably what i'll end up doing with them!

    i tried it once and it didn't work, so i watched the video and copied it exactly and it still wouldn't do it. But then I tried to do it agin and got some waves and kinks but NO curls. I think it is not really worth its price and very hard to use. I like the way the product is described and is easy to hold, but I don't like the fact that they say it is as easy as straightening because this is a lie. Straightening is much, much quicker. And although the babyliss you curl says it is quick to use, i ...

    it is a bit tricky to get the hang of it but once you get it its quick and brilliant results. i disagree with other reviews as they have not given the Babyliss You Curl enough of a chance. i have very long hair and i find that these can curl the whole length unlike tongs :)

    i orderd the babyliss you curls over the internet throught amazon as they were doing a half price deal!! (thank god i did rather than spendind the whole price)...
    so they arived in the post about 3 days later and i got all excitted and went to try them. yes they worked a little creating some really good curls and some kinks so i thought oh maybe my hairs a bit greesy or something and it only works on clean hair and so i washed my hair and tried again but it still didnt work!! i watched the movie ...

    i achieve bigger curls with other wider inch flat irons than this babyliss you curl.
    it is among the pricier irons out there so i dnt know if it was worth it.

    I LOVED the look, and couldn't wait to have it for my prom...
    so i went out and spent my 30 quid on these 'Babyliss You Curl' curlers...
    came home thrilled to try them, and when i did, NOTHING, not even one curl...
    but i practiced, and about the third time round they worked great! id done the bottom layer of hair and it was lovely, tried the second and it didnt work....
    so im thinking its practice? like..how good you are with styling.
    I am annoyed that its taking me a long time to get the hang o ...

    Babyliss You Curl creates really good curls. When curling my hair I found the curlers really quick in heating up and sometimes produced great curls however other times just left my hair flat. Overall they are the best curlers I have had however could be improved

    I found the instructions on how to use Babyliss You Curl hard to understand so I watched a video on the website which showed you how to use them. I did exactly the same thing and my hair remained straight, in fact it was as if I'd used straighteners! The instructions say you are to twist the curl to help it stay but I had NO curls at all.Really disappointing, I'm going to take them back and ask for a refund or exchange.

    The Babyliss You Curl heats up fast but the "cooling" plates heat up- they don't curl your hair-they fry it instead-they straighten more than curl-they smell burnt before use-you burn your fingers trying to turn it-don't work for long hair at all-the "curls" dont last

    Babyliss You Curl worked a treat,and I had lovely Ghd style curls with minimum effort. They automatically turn off if you forget to turn them off which I'm really impressed by, I don't know how many times I've freaked out on a night out thinking I've left my straightnersplugged in. I can't get the hang of the ghd for curls, so I bought this and it's great, my sister asked me what hair dresser I went to! You really have to watch the video on the website to figure out how to use them, the instru ...

    I decided to use this because i was fed up fighting with my straighteners when trying to curl my hair, I always had a great finish with them but on some parts it just wouldn't quite curl like i wanted and i often came away with burns on my fingers where I'd accidentally placed them on the plates when trying to finish my style. As any girl knows if you get stressed when doing your hair and it turns out bad it can ruin your night so the idea of skipping all that was worth trying it for. from the s ...

    I brought the Babyliss You Curl as the adverts on the tv made them look fantastic. My hairdresser often use straighteners to curl, and I have achieved this look myself, but found it a bit difficult, so thought these would be the perfect solution. I got the hang of the technique quickly and created one curl. Then the so called cooling plates heated up, and so I ended up with completely straight hair... I may as well have used my old straighteners without all the twisting and pulling and burning m ...

    i got these for christmas and i found them difficult to use for a while. However i went on the website and watched a video on how to use them and they now work a treat! I think that all the people that it didn't work for are obviously too lazy to find out how they work, we are in the 21st century, internet has all the answers!

    I seen the Babyliss You Curl advertised on the T.V and thought it looked amazing and easy to use however once getting it home I tried it out and I was sorely dissappointed and angry. I felt it was a waste of time. It was very frustrating as I followed the instructions and even watched the video clip from babyliss website, half an hour later I was ready for throwing it out the window!!

    I feel this was a waste of my good money and time, I just hope Argos will give me my cash back as I am raging! ...

    I bought the Babyliss You Curl with high hopes but was so disappointed I took it back to Boots for a refund (top tip - electrical items that they sell are returnable if you are not satisfied with them). For information - my hair is long, fine and naturally dead straight. Despite watching the instruction video I found that the curler produced mixed results in creating a curl, sometimes needing two or three passes over the same section of hair to curl it. Once the curls were in they lasted less th ...

    I was very excited about this product as although I have a natural wave in my hair I always curl it when I go out. But I was sorely disappointed, I really liked the ideology behind them and couldn't wait to use them but the curls didn't form properly and fell out immediately even after I'd been on website to watch video of how to use them. They seemed to pull my hair and dry it out. They were expensive and actually managed to straighten my hair which usually takes to any curl very well. To achie ...

    Really pleased with the babyliss you curl, I have thick long hair and needed something good. On trying the item found it very difficult and did not seem to work so kept at it until I successfully produced a curl, there is definitely a technique to this and it is simply to find a smallish section about 1 inch of hair and grip hard on the first section the straightening bit then about half way down when you are about to twist loosen your grip not to loose or to hard you have to find the right grip ...

    The Babyliss You Curl practically pulled my hair out because the plates are so sticky and cheap in my opinion.
    I thought the curls in my hair were rubbish and I would have been better off buying a cheap pair of tongs. Babyliss charge nearly £40 for these. If I had known I wouldn't have paid £1 for these.

    I can not comprehend that anyone can use the Babyliss You Curl effectively. It seems to pull my hair out, does not even create a wave, let alone a curl. The only use I have found for these is to STRAIGHTEN my fringe!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am upset. I was not naive enough to actually believe my hair would be that of the model on the box but I was willing to compromise on half way.

    Babyliss You Curl - My advice is if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. You seriously need to keep at it, my first few attempts looked well let's just say not very impressive! But after a while I managed to get the wrist action right and ended up with some beautiful curls. I agree that they can sometime catch your hair and pull, but using a smaller section of hair worked for me. I have fairly fine hair but a lot of it and it's practically poker straight naturally. I found the turning ...
