BaByliss 2398BU Pro Smooth Straightener

Bought these after my old GHDs conked out. Before outlaying on a new pair I asked my niece, who is a hairdresser, for her opinion on what’s best. These are the ones she uses for work and has used on my hair. That was good enough for me!I actually prefer these to my GHDs and would definitely buy again without hesitation. They heat quickly, have 3 heat settings which is kinder on my fine curly hair, and have an all important cut off switch should they be accidentally left on, which I do worry about. The longer plates get more hair at a time making them overall quicker to use and my hair has an unbelievable shine after using them.These definitely ticked all the boxes and the fab price was the icing on the cake. Would definitely recommend these.

I bought these for just under £30, having had a pair of BaByliss straighteners previously (which expired a long time after the six years minimum that electrical goods should last for). These are an improvement on the last pair, even though they were more than satisfactory: separate on/off buttons, placed so that it's difficult to accidentally turn them off when in use; 15 second heating up; curved edges to wrap hair around for easy curls; excellent straightening; fabulous long lead... it's actually difficult to find fault with them.All in all these are an excellent product, and BaByliss have a very loyal customer.NOTE: Regarding the complaints from a few users about them heating up all the way down: if this is happening to yours, you need to request a replacement because they have a fault. This is not supposed to happen. Mine remain cool where they are handled.

I had a much older model of these straighteners that lasted me well over 10 years. They were aging and pulling my hair while using. Saw these and a fraction of the price I paid for my previous straighteners.They have long plates which means you can straighten more hair each pass. The variable temperature is good for those who have finer hair but do nothing for my hair. So I have to use the highest temperature. The colour is lovely. Overall they do what it says on the box.There is no plastic packaging at all. The company has switched to paper inside the box to wrap the straighteners. Better for the earth.

Great straighteners for the price, I usually steer clear of floating plates as my hair is very thick and the last lot I had couldn't get enough pressure between the plates to straighten properly. These seem much better, nice design the only thing is the curved barrel makes them just a little bit too thick to get good curls with. Your hair needs to be quite long if you want to curl with these straighteners and it has a tendency to slide off the barrel. My Andrew Bartons were much better for curling but I cant seem to get them any more :-( Anywsy, assuming your main reason for buying is to straighten, I'd say you will be fairly pleased with these. I've only once accidentally turned them off while in use (due to the location and sensitivity of the on/off switch). Cant recall what the RRP is on these but I paid £25

Best straighteners I have had. A☆

Value for money and easy to use

These straighteners arrived on time - my old babyliss ones (thick plate) still work but the spring broke. These do the job just as well. I had my old babyliss straighteners for 12 years, so hopefully these will last well too.

So glad to find these on Amazon!Bought them to replace ones I’d managed to break accidentally. The same make and model. I’d had them for several years and had always been happy with them, so was delighted to be able to get the same ones.They are stylish, easy to use, hot enough for my needs - very pleased to have them.
