I was clearing out a cupboard today and found an old set of Braun curling tongs with a butane cartridge to avoid needing to plug it in. I don't think I have ever used it until today but it just gave my hair an added boost and I was pleased with the result. The model is out of date but I have managed to buy on click and collect from Boots some refill carriages.
Does anyone else use this type of tong ?

it would be a total waste of time for my fine, thinning and very straight hair.
I use strong hold mousse when blow drying my hair. It looks ok for about 15 mins after 
Nina, I use aussie volumising shampoo, conditioner, stuff out of a small purple bottle, a hairdryer, a hot brush, gel and spray. Mine looks fine most of the day but no-one could run their fingers through it!!!
And, who's going to do it in the nursing home?
Snap again Kitty I too use Aussie volumiser but it is the two in one type, then Aveda hair thickner, then a rotating hot brush and now when the whole lot is totally dry I will give my hair a quick flick under with this new/old Braun. It has taken me until I am 70 to get my hair under control. I have found a really good hairdresser too who cuts it beautifully.
Last week I was in a queue in a NT cafe and a young woman complimented me on my hair cut and highlights. I was thrilled as I don't have highlights just a mix of silvery grey blonde hair au naturel
