Babyliss Curl Secret

I've always struggled with curling my ridiculously thick locks. 

I usually use a standard curling iron but the curl doesn't hold

for very long, drops after a few hours and just

looks like a tangled mess :(

So when I saw this I knew

I had to get my chubby little hands on one.

So I'll go through the basics of it and then

how to use it.

- It has a Ceramic curl chamber for smooth, shiny curls

- Alternates the curl direction for a natural finish

- Automatically turns itself off

- Has 2 heat settings: 210c & 230c

- 3 timer settings

- Comes with a heat protection mat

Before you start I advise you to use a Heat protectant

and serum on your hair.

This definitely takes some getting used to and I think everyone will

have a slightly different way of doing it as everyones hair

is different but this is how I use it.

First section your hair like you

would when straightening it.

Then add serum to your hair. 

Now you can only add a small amount of hair into 

the curler and the smaller the amount of hair the 

tighter the curl.

The switch on the right is the heat setting

and the switch on the left is the timer.

I usually do 10 seconds on the highest heat.

The longer the timer and higher the heat

the tighter the curl.

(Sorry for my nails they're in need of serious painting!)

Then you put the section of hair into the curler slot

and clamp the curler down. Then your

hair should get sucked up into the curler.

Your hair wraps up inside where the arrow's pointing.

So you just hold the clamp down until it beeps when the 

timer has run out and you release.

And there's your curl :)

Just continue section by section of hair and

spray with hairspray after.

So here's some pros & cons

Pros:

- Good if you're not good at using a curling iron/curling

with a straightener

- gives a very natural looking curl/wave

- the timer prevents you from burning your hair

- turns off automatically after a certain amount of time

Cons:

- your hair can get stuck inside the curler. Yes I said it, stuck!

I'm not gonna lie there have been a few occasions

where my hair has got completely tangled inside the curler

and I've considered cutting my hair out of it! 

So unless I put serum on my hair to 

smooth it down it will get tangled inside.

This is my only problem with it.

It does have a "anti-tangle" system where

if your hair's tangled it will automatically release

your hair. But as I said before,

there have been times where my hair just won't budge :(

Besides the rather serious con,

I still really like this and will continue to use it

just because I love the end result and

the curls last a lot longer.

I do recommend you check this out.

What do you think of this curler?

If you don't use it what do you use?
