I brought a Babyliss mini one because I only have shortish hair but it has a really strong wave and once it gets to a certain length it flicks out all over the place and annoys me, so I got the Babyliss because I'd never had one before and wasn't keen on spending big $$ JIC I didn't like it. It's not too bad, but I need to go over my hair a few times to get it the way I want it but when I'm at my hairdressers' she uses a GHD and the difference is huge - the babyliss just doesn't do as good a job as the GHD. So I will persevere with it because there isn't anything wrong with it, but as soon as it dies I think I will get a GHD.
