Product Description
Not only does the BeLiss 2X come with its own concentrator nozzle for smoother, even drying, but what makes this dryer/straightener stand out from the rest is its ceramic straightening head. Basically, the hair runs through a comb first, which detangles for even straightening. Then two rows of ceramic plates seperate strands of hair and heat straighten them. The 6 drying & 4 Straightening settings mean this is suitable for all hair types.

 Not the easiest thing to use, but it works July 14, 2008

When I bought this I had long, thick, coarse, wavy hair prone to frizz. Since then I've had it cut to just above the shoulder. At both lengths I've managed to get my hair straight and dry, really not far from the look I get from the salon, with this product. I like my hair to bend under a bit at the bottom which this does pretty well, so if you go for poker-straight right to the ends then I'm not sure if you'll get that result.
I'd say if you get along fine with straightening irons then stick with those, they're probably less trouble. But I had so much hair they'd take ages, and usually I'd lose patience and end up with my hair half-done.
Here's how I use this:
1. Rough-dry without either nozzle just to remove a bit more water than the towel got, so there's less work to do with the straightener attached
2. Set the straightener as it's shown in the picture, and straighten the front sections. I usually grab chunks of hair from 'underneath' first, then chunks nearer the crown.
3. Set the straightener at 90 degrees from how it's shown in the picture which I find better for getting at the back of my head, again taking chunks from underneath then from the crown. (Halfway through I flip the straightener another 180 degress to get the other side, holding the dryer with the other hand.)
(It's worth saying at this point that I'm pretty haphazard about both these stages - there's no sectioning with a comb involved, I literally just grab small handfuls of hair and drag the straightener through until they're about dry.)
4. Put the concentrator nozzle on to finish off any bits not completely dry, and finish the style.
I think it was about the third attempt before I began to feel like I'd got the hang of it, in my opinion it was worth a bit of perseverance because it's the only way I can get the look I want.
The slide controls feel a bit cheap and it's easy to accidentally catch the 'cool' button by accident in use, so for me those knock of half a star, with the other half going because of the general faff of using it. But for my hair it's still much less hassle than irons and gives a more natural finish.
 OK, but I couldn't get it to work properly! July 1, 2008

I was thinking about getting the original Beliss dryer/straightener, then saw this one with the extra row of plates on it and thought, why not! It was only 5 more and the blurb was promising.
I have very thick, frizzy and wavy hair, and have used the wet to straight irons before now, but thought a change could be fun.
I found this very difficult to use, and the biggest problem was that air continues to blow through the straightening attachment, so you are straightening one section and at the same time the rest of the hair is getting blown about and going frizzy! This seemed to defeat the purpose somewhat!
It has different settings, all of which I tried, but all it succeeded in doing was to break my hair as the settings increased. So I was pretty disappointed. It was a decent dryer but quite heavy and also quite pricey: if you want a hairdryer you can get cheaper and lighter very easily.
I was able to return mine, luckily the store agreed that broken hair was not a good thing. If you want straighteners which will be safe to use on wet hair, I would stick with the Wet-to-straight. Nice concept but it just didn't work for me.
