A shiny hairstyle with no hairdryer, no curling iron and no salon trip. The styler works like a stapler: load a disc of rhinestones, catch a strand, press — and the gem is already in the hair. One press, one decoration.

The set holds 12 discs and 180 rhinestones in assorted colours and shapes. The discs are replaceable, so the styler stays useful long after the first ones run out.

A child does it alone. The motion is familiar to anyone who has seen a stapler: load the disc, press it onto the strand, swap the empty disc for a new one.

Removing the gems. Just comb the hair out. The adhesive leaves no sticky residue on the strands.

A tip from buyers: take a thicker strand or make a ponytail — on fine hair a gem holds less well. That way the decoration stays in place longer.

In the box:

• a soft pink styler, with no lettering or extra decor;
• 12 discs — 180 rhinestones in all, in different colours and shapes;
• an illustrated manual: the steps are clear from the pictures, the text is in English;
• a pink and purple box.

A good fit for a birthday, a photo session, a party at kindergarten or school, or a performance: she can decorate her own hair, a friend's or a sister's.
