Here are the results of our testing here at Nouveau...

By Lauren (daughter Georgia, above)
"As the newest member of the Nouveau team, I was beaming from ear to ear when I was asked to trial the new Babyliss Straighteners. It was not until I saw the slightly evil glint in Steph's eye as she informed me I would need to provide the dreaded before and after shots that my bubble burst!

I have frizzy, bouffant, half curly, half wavy, thick, gigantic hair when its left to its own devices, and the thought of my before mugshot navigating its way around the world via the world wide web did nothing for me. So as any mother would do, I made my 14 year old daughter do it!!

Now I have to say, I've bought into straighteners before thinking what they would be as good as ghds, and I've been sadly disappointed, so I went into this trial thinking the same. Upon opening the box, I was impressed by the lovely red and grey carry bag they were presented in with its incorporated heat mat, but I did think the straighteners looked somewhat bulky, in comparison to my ghd's.

They heated up very quickly, and the temperature can be controlled, but I obviously whacked them up to max power! There are some gimmicky looking " retractable de-tangling fins" that can be adjusted according to your hair thickness, and I had no faith in these whatsoever until I tried them, and I am surprised to say, they made straightening my tangled locks a breeze! I found the steam blitzed through the curls, but you do have to be careful! For me it was better to steam and then go over once with the steam turned off.

Now here's the thing that makes these straighteners stand out as different - they straighten your hair and it lasts for ages...even in the hot and clammy temperatures we have had this week, myself and my daughter both said our hair stayed straight much longer than usual, and that is why I love them!

I do actually prefer them to ghd's, and I honestly never thought those words would come from my lips! The fact that they are a quite cumbersome is forgiven, I suppose they need to be a little bigger than the norm to house the steam reservoir."

The new Toni & Guy signature straighteners get a thumbs up from me.....they are just like GHD's but with a good thirty pounds off. Many people don't want to risk not using GHD's just in case they don't come up trumps...but believe me the new signature ones are just as good if not better!

hi there i used to use ghd's all the time as everyone went on about how good they are, i have very curly thick hair which is hard very hard to stay straight and i was shown corioliss and i can only say my hair is silky smooth and flows like silk, stays straight for many hours so cant fault them, so if someone can tell me this new found straightener is better than them i will be really impressed

ive tried alot of diffrent kinds of hair straighteners but i always seem to go back to corioliss, alot of people say that ghd are the best brand out there but i really dont agree, me and a few family members always use corioliss because we cant find fault in them atall, i got a pair of ghd's and corioliss straighteners from
corioliss hair straighteners and the ghd's just didnt seem to to the job properly where as for the corioliss they shaped my hair lovely, im going to try the NEW BaByliss Pro 230 Radiance
