Silver Bullet Keratin 230 Questions & Answers

Hello Danica. I would be VERY wary of buying a Silver bullet hair straightener. Look at the reviews...they are either love it, or hate it. They are very very inconsistent and this is exactly what this product is!! I have just bought TWO of them (one for me and one for my daughter) from Sydney hair salon and they both worked fine for 8 weeks then started faulting. As in: they do not work at all - light turns on but it remains completely cold, they spasmodically heat up to half the heat required sometimes, for the first 2 months they sometimes work perfectly, they are completely unreliable.
Just beware thats all! looks like it could be pot luck with these straighteners....some a good....some are crap.

Thank you so much for your help, I think I will stick to my ghd. All the retailers selling them only say it's great so it is really good to receive an honest opinion. Thank you again for your help!

I have the ceramic one YES it has a sleep mode if left on

no it doesn't!

No I does not.

No it does not.

Titanium plates and Cereamic plates are two of the most popular types used by styling professionals.
Although I can't really tell you which one is better, here is a short description of each:
Ceramic plates- Heat evenly, protecting hair from heat damage. Proven performance at the fraction of the cost, suitable for home usage.
Titanium plates- Fastest heat transfer for immediate and superior results, regardless of the hair's condition. Dubrability, resistance, suitable for heavy salon usage.
I hope that after reading these descriptions on both, it helped you to decide between which one is better for you!

I just bought one today - I was told that I should only use ceramic plates in my hair as my hair is blonde. Apparently ceramic plates don't damage blonde hair as much..

Depends what you're trying to achieve really. If your hair isn't too thick and you want to curl it as well, then go for slim. If you have really thick stubborn hair and need it for solely straightening, then wide :)

If you have fine hair like mine you will get best results on the 190 heat setting, the hottest temperature is not necessarily the best, it depends on your hair and the thickness/coarseness of it. Always use a good heat protector spay when using your straightener and smooth out your hair with a small amount of oil when you are done . Good luck.
