Lots of fun for a lot of money

Preliminary something about my hair and my curls history:
I have relatively long (ca bra clasp), thin and bleached / streaked hair.
Inherently undecided - a touch silicone in the shampoo and they hang uninspired as Jesus mat that care is not rich enough / it must even go a little faster, I look as if I had doctored me by a behertzten handle into an electrical outlet.
My hair is so dry, overused, slightly wavy but unfortunately without great volume.
Previous attempts to turn them into shiny curls or waves, always degenerated into a long procedure of - and mostly with an uncertain outcome.
1.) curlers. Both the standard version and the 'heated' version with wax core, Keramikbeschischtung etc. Very time consuming, was usually more volume than real curls, sometimes odd-shaped dents instead of waves / curls.
2.) straighteners. Letdown. Beautiful edges purely burned, curls held not long. Not even with ghd and hairdresser support. Technically volume hardly any profit.
3.) curling iron. Time-consuming, results never stopped overly long, curly hair has been more mixed, brought little volume.

And then flooded review videos of Babyliss the Internet, and I was immediately in love and had to have just the device.

First the positives:
+ Time saving:
It really could fix. When you get used to the handling, it is really very quickly and easily. (I need approx 15-20mins)
+ Predictable result:
there are no surprises. If one has ever tasted through all setting options, you know exactly what to expect.
+ Durability:
even at the lowest heat setting and shortest duration to keep the curls / waves. Of course, they hang a little, but also on the second day you can still see a pretty hairstyle from the curls of the day before 'recycle' with little effort
+ Gloss & Volume:
Here's both times. Shiny and defines the hair slipped coming out of the machine. If you let it cool down first and then loosen up with your hands, there's still even volume.
And the next day, after all nice shiny waves.

Negatives:
- Limited possibilities for variation.
Apart from 'strength' (loose-curled up spiralnudelig-solid small) and direction (depending on whether one leaves the corresponding switch to 'A' for automatic, thus achieving a relatively natural result, the somewhat bulkier fails, or if you L or R and adjust as evenly generated in the corresponding direction cascading curls) is one set at a size curls.
So you can accurately create 1 look, and make this a little more their own ideas (as just described).
- Massive Minus: If then actually sometimes solid milled a lock, no matter for what reason (carelessness, sloppy subdivision ...), then you have the Super GAU!
Because the machine is not from the OAE - you can just drag and begin to pray and to tinker the plug. Where: Tinker = tearing and cutting. Meanwhile carbonizes the hooked streak course ever, with a little luck, there's also ene visually stunning steam development.
Has happened to me once and I almost cried with anger.
The sad remnant of my streak (approx 15cm) was lost, I had to cut it and remove it later painstakingly out of the machine.
When I saw the hair now looked like I was struggling again with the tears.
Really no pleasure.
- The Price.
You have to be a bit crazy to cut so much money on his head and then just to conjure up some sort of curls in her hair.
- Haarschänden.
Not only should the worst case scenario occurs and you have to part with hair.
No, it is not just a spa treatment for the hair to be exposed to temperatures between 190-230 ° C.
A good heat protection should be self-evident, yet I do not think it is good for the hair good to be processed every day so.

Conclusion:
Expensive business, which also is not flat hair gently.
But also provides a dazzling result, and that too very quickly.
(Especially when compared with curlers or similar consuming procedures)
