I bought my Babyliss Paris Pro180 Sublim’ touch 32mm curling tongs from Clicks on promotion. The monthly Clicks promotional catalogues are my go to when it comes to my styling tool purchases.

I bought my Babyliss Paris Pro 180 25mm Curling Iron in July 2012 at Clicks for R179.99. I have used the 25mm tong on my relaxed hair as well as my weaves. The Babyliss Paris Pro 180 25mm Titanium Ceramic Curling Tongs helps to create medium soft curls. To avoid crimped ends, make sure they are securely wound under the spoon in the direction of the desired curl. The curling tong comes with an instruction manual detailing how to use the curling tool safely and how to maintain it.

Its ability to glide and to transit heat softens, shines and protects. It is adapted for dyes and styling products.

This was the first curling tong I bought from Babyliss. This tong created amazing tight curls on both my relaxed hair and weaves. They get the job done. I had awesome tight curls every time. A light spritz of setting spray increases the longevity of the curls.

I bought my Babyliss Paris Conical Iron Easy Curl from Clicks on promotion. The Easy Curl is a practical conical tong to create different types of curls easily. To use this tong, hair must be completely dry and untangled. I am currently on a no/minimum heat policy for my natural hair so I have been using my heat styling tools on my weaves and this wand has been awesome. It heats up very fast and I can create a wide range of curls depending on my mood. It is an easy tool to operate. It comes with an instruction manual detailing how to use the wand safely and how to maintain it. The protective finger shields are great for protection against finger burns when winding the hair around the barrel. However, care is required as the glove will not protect the fingers from extended contact with the hot surface of the conical barrel.

After a lot of youtube demo watching and debate I finally gave in and bought the Babyliss Pro Curl Secret (it was on special at Clicks for R1199, not sure I would pay the full R1599 for it though.. thats a bit steep).
But I can say for me it was so worth it!
my hair is quite long.. mid back and it curled it amazingly!..no tangling or getting stuck like some reviews have said. and it was so quick and easy!.. my entire head was curled in 10-15 mins (and I have thick hair).
It even alternates the direction of the curls so they dont all lie in the same direction.
It also has 3 temperature settings and 3 time settings allowing you to control the tightness of your curls.
The curls were so long lasting too.. with just a bit of medium hold hairspray I still had curls the next day when I woke up! (my hair is naturally wavy though so it isn't dead straight to begin with).
The only con I have found to this product so far is the high price.
I must also note though that it barely worked on my sisters hair at all.. even on the highest temp it made a slight curl which fell out within minutes.. so it would be a huge waste of money for her.
I also tried it on my mom's hair which is short (just touching shoulders) and it worked but it really didn't look good, so its better for girls with slightly longer hair.

This curler is fantastic but it isnt for all hair..
girls with very long (past mid back length) hair,
girls with short hair (above shoulders),
and girls with uncoloured hair (coloured hair has a lot more grip to it)
...you may want to somehow test it first before going to buy it.
and if you cant try it and your still not sure, my view is that if your curls dont hold with tongs they probably wont with this either.

Have not tried this as yet, awaiting reviews on whether to purchase :)
