Which Babyliss hair straighteners???

Pepzofio

I want to buy some hair straighteners for curling my hair occasionally - I've decided I can't really justify shelling out for GHDs, as I really will not get the use out of them.

Done a fair bit of reading and Babyliss seem to get fairly decent reviews, but the problem is I can't work out which ones to get! I think I've narrowed it down to the Pro 230 Elegance (currently half price at about £40 in Argos) or the Pro 230 Straight & Curl (currently about £50 in Argos).

In theory, I'm assuming the Elegance is a better model as it's normally more expensive, but does the straight & curl really offer much advantage to a novice curler? My current beauty regime is pretty much limited to brushing my hair - if I remember!

I've read it's better to get proper ceramic plates rather than ceramic coated ones - these both seem to be titanium-ceramic plates - does that mean they're just coated? I'm so confused!

Any advice appreciated.

Hi I recently brought these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/BaByliss-2085U-Pro-230%C2%B0C-Straighteners/dp/B000BFN80I/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt

They are brilliant. The only downsides is they don't close and you can turn them off without realising as the on/off button on the top of the straighteners where you hold them.

Great reports and under £25.00.

Doh!
Just reread your post and you want curling ones! Sorry these wouldnt be any good. Sorry!

I just bought the Elegance ones and they are just as good as my GHDs (which have been temporarily taken from me and I quickly needed a replacement!). They were about £38.00 from Boots but I only use them for straightening. The other straightening and curling ones were also half price in Boots at about £25.00.

This caused me much umming and aahing but if you want them for curling get the £25.00 ones from Boots as I imagine they will be as good.

i've got the straight & curl ones and i love them, i have the bright red chunky straightners as well and bought the straight and curl just for curling, but i use them all the time.
They are great for doing flicks, waves, full on curl or just good old plain straightening, i paid about £40 for them in boots, so if they are on sale i would say go and get them
