BaByliss9000 High-Performance Cordless Hair Straightener, Ceramic Floating Plates, Lithium Power, up to 200C

Babyliss really have thought that about everything to make these straighteners as mobile as possible.On receiving and opening the packaging , the first thing you notice is the extremely durable and heat proof travel case. It somewhat reminds me of a sunglasses case, in that the shape is a hard mould of the inner contents. If this case we're to bash around in a travel bag/case , there really wouldn't be any damage at all to the straighteners. The straighteners fit quite snug in their little case too , so there is no rattling around.Another thing I loved about the travel case is how it completely unzips around the side , so that the case can be butterflied out flat, making it a really good rest for the straighteners, as well as a heat proof mat.Alternatively , you are also provided with a black roll away mat , that ties up with a cute ribbon . I'd be more likely to keep this out permanently on my beauty table at home as the case itself is heat proof enough to use on holiday as a mat , but it is great that this can be made compact to take with you.I rely on straighteners abroad in humid heat , so it's great that babyliss provides you with 2 plug adaptors for the charger. They are so easy to change , and are a really great touch that I wouldn't have even thought of.If getting ready for a night out , I usually prefer to do my hair last, meaning I often panick about the heat of the straighteners when I leave the house. Babyliss give you a silicone heat mould for you to slip the straighteners in to keep them closed when they are off. This, along with the heat proof case really does put your mind at ease when you have to frantically get ready and leave. One less thing to worry about , especially as I have read in the manual that these straighteners physically cannot turn on while closed.On to actually using the straighteners :I didn't even need to read the instructions to figure out how to use these straighteners. They are so straight forward and easy to use and absolutely anybody could use them. I like how the power level is shown via colour . I was worried that with a cordless they may just stop mid use if I had ran out of charge. But the colour indicator is great to prompt me to recharge them if they are getting low.As a straightener these do exactly what it says on the tin. They heat up so fast, there is no pulling on hair , very smooth , not too heavy , and you can controll the heat really well. However , they are also great for curling or shaping the hair round the face for my fringe and feathering. I don't like poker straight hair , so the rounded tongue ends really help to get a smooth curl or wave at the ends.More importantly , after using these straighteners and working out which heat setting worked best for my hair , my hair actually stayed smooth all night without the use of any additional hair products.I'm so happy with this purchase and I'll deffinatley be looking at the rest of their range.

I’d already bought and had to return a pair of these to another retailer because when they arrived they would not power on. I’ve used them only about a dozen times since purchase in Feb 2023. When they worked they were ok but the battery life was short, you’d struggle to do your whole head if you have thick or long hair. Last time I went to use them they wouldn’t switch on. Thought the battery was dead. They seemed to charge fine (charging light came on when plugged in) but still won’t switch on. Not worth the bother. Stick with a corded set.

I don’t usually write reviews but I am so delighted with what I’ve received I’ve decided to.I was really pleased with the way it arrived, well packaged and beautifully presented. Would make an ideal gift. Comes with silicone sleeve, heat mat, pretty storage case (which fits the Straighteners and heat mat) UK and European plug, and magnetic connection charger.(Please see my before and after use hair pictures)Left for full charge ahead of use. My hair is naturally thick and wavy. My usual Straighteners are GHD. I found these Babyliss slightly heavier to use however I would expect this an internal power source. They straightened my hair as well as my GHD when on the higher setting. First use was 7 mins and power light down to yellow (from green) so this indicates 50-85% power remaining. I am yet to see how many uses I get from a full charge but I would estimate at least two full uses.This is perfect for what I want it for, for touching up when out and about (as my hair easily frizzes) and for use in my Campervan when we have no electric hook-up.Overall I would recommend this product as it is excellent value compared to its higher priced competitors which are circa £200-300!Another safety point I liked, was I noticed it won’t switch on when closed with its silicone cover on. So this means it can not be accidentally switched on. It also has a sleep mode (lower heat) if unused for 5 mins ahead of fully shut down if not used for a further 5 mins - ideal if you’re like me and sometimes forget to switch them off!

I love the straightener it very good however my only negative is you only get 30mins sometimes not even that long which is very disappointing. Takes hours to charge. I like its cordless however it should have a longer heating time. Shame about that however lovely.

Superb product. Extremely handy of course because its cordless. I have mostly used the lowest heat setting because i never do my hair pin drop straight. My hair is quite wavy and extremely out of control. At lowest heat setting with 2 max 3 passes it gives me a natural straight look. I have medium long hair and not too thick. It takes me around 20 mins to complete. In one charge i manage to straighten at least twice, which is really good. Love the box and carry pouch. Lightweight also (compared to dyson corrale..although in every other aspect besides price dyson would be clearly better ). Would 100% recommend @ €70 which was sale price. Still don’t think its worth €200 i.e. the original price.

Was really looking forward to these - beautiful packaging and presentation. Received - instructions said to charge before use for 5 hours to get a full charge - I charged as instructed - they didnt reach a full charge at all - so I returned them to Amazon and re-ordered another replacement set as I really liked the looked of them. Amazon replaced them within 2 days and again opened them - charged them as per instructions and exactly the same thing happened - they didnt charge only getting to 30-50% amber light charge - So really very disappointed to have to return yet again and have given up - Either I have been extremely unlucky or Amazon have received a faulty batch of these..... I did notice one other review having the same issue. So unfortunately I would say dont waste your money or your time - look beautiful but they simply dont work.
