Goodbye sleepless nights...Hello great hair ?

This was the claim made on the packaging of the revolutionary product, a Beauty Awards 2013 winner no doubt!  So when I found them in the reduced section of my local Salon Services I snapped them up, for a mere £9.88 :-) Previously I have seen them at over £20.  Could this be the bargain of the week, or yet another item to take up space in the cupboard or even end up at the next carboot clearout??

Having time on my hands in the afternoon (due to awaiting the repair of my car) I put them in and awaited bedtime!

I really, REALLY wanted to love this product, my hair is somewhat limp and lack lustre and the thought of waking up and having bouncy curls was very appealing.  However the reality falls far short of the promise.

These are extremely uncomfortable, they do not flatten flat as advertised, the velcro is prickly against your head and the glittery cover crinkles as you move about. Being so large and not 'flattening like a sponge' your head sticks up from the pillow causing a poor sleeping position and a strain on your neck.

After a disturbed sleep I gave up at 4am and removed half of them and managed to get some deeper sleep!  But what about the side that had been left in? Bearing in mind they have been in for over 12 hours, there was 'a little' extra oomph with a curl under but it was not enough to warrant the sleepless night to get it!  I can achieve the same with my hot brush.

So often we are oversold on promises with products that fail to deliver the hype... reminds me a bit of the current political situation!

Verdict: to be given the Car-BOOT!
