Brilliant välue for shorter and finer hair, 13 Aug. 2015

This compact hair styler is incredibly light and at around 8 1/2 inches in length is genuinely easy to carry around. With 1.8m of mains cable, it is easy to use too! The mains cable rotates 360 degrees on the base of the unit, which helps the stability and feel of the product.

This is ideal for women with hair length above the shoulder, but would not suit someone with very long hair or very thick hair. Remember the price of this product - it is incredibly good value.

This is not a battery operated device, despite some of the illustrations, but it works well. The body is really wide which actually makes it easier to handle and manoeuvre.

To all intents and purposes this is a hair curler that is really a hair dryer. It has a simple on/off switch with no control of heat setting. Hot air is blown up through the brush and this product definitely adds volume for finer hair that isn't too long.

For a teenager, this would be an ideal starter product, but it doesn't work...

Height, Body, and Bounce!, 18 Aug. 2015

This is an absolutely fantastic machine. I was surprised that the picture on the packet showed women with shoulder length hair as I would say that it's women like me with fine short hair who strive every day for height and body for whom this is an absolute must. Using it is a breeze. You just towel dry your hair, apply whatever holding product you like, turn on the Syler, and then start brushing, holding your hair in the bristles like you would with an old style "roller". Just keep moving th styler around and soon your hair has more body and bounce than you thought possible. One real advantage that the Styler has over using a hairdryer and brush is that it is easy to do the back of your head with it. The Styler is much lighter than most hair dryers which makes it an ideal product for those with weak upper body strength. It is ideal for taking on holiday or to the gym.

No good for thick hair., 17 Aug. 2015

Like most women my wife spends a lot of time 'doing' her hair. She's either washing it, drying it or straightening it. Occassionally she likes to put a few curls or flicks in so this seemed a good opportuntiy to try out this styler.

Initial reaction was that it seemed quite cheaply made. I know it's cheap but as it's made by Bosch we just assumed it would be better quality.

This product is fairly compact so would be ideal for travelling, etc. It's also lightweight and has a sensible length of mains cable which also swivels where it attaches which makes it easier to use. There's just an on/off button so there's nothing you can adjust. It does seem to get very hot though which probably isn't a good thing.

The brush head is small and the combs very short so as my wife has very thick hair so this really wasn't suitable. Probably ok for thin or short hair but for obvious reasons we couldn't really try that.

I wouldn't want to condemn this styler...
