so what do you ladies reccommend as the best tongs? im looking on ebay but theres soooooo much choice and if the tongs are that good surely ppl wouldnt sell them?!

I bought the remington Big Shot curling and waving set - you get a slim traditional curling tong, a spiral curling tong (really good) and a waver - which is kinda like a really big crimper - you use it in the same sort of way as a crimper but its like two prongs with metal over the top (i'll try and find a pic cos thats a really rubbish description....)

Any way - it's really good - ceramic, comes in a nice big case and best of all it's pink!

The waver would stand you the best chance of that olsen look... big chunks of hair I reckon... I like doing mine but it's never lasts longer than a couple of hours before looking like a frizzy birds nest, which annoys me immensely!

edit:Here it is at Argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fwebapp% 2Fwcs%2Fstores%2Fservlet%2FSearch%3FstoreId%3D1000 1&referrer=FG13P&searchTerms=0541095&params=P2110)

Oooh I've found you a bargain...

The two best things in the pack for a fraction of the price! (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9518373452)

Not pink but it's not the end of the world...
