Nano Titanium Ultra-Thin Hair Straightener, Professional Flat Iron For All Hair Types

Should have gotten this sooner
The Blowout Professor has a good video on flat irons, and he recommended this one for my hair type. I bought the 1″, used it for the first time yesterday, and loved how easy and fast this expensive flat iron was to use. I do not regret my purchase. Since it’s thin, it’s easy to get close to the roots. It also has a long plates to fit a wide section of hair. I woke up today, and my hair still looked nice after a night’s sleep that usually adds waves and kinks to various parts of my hair. I had a hard time deciding on the right temp, but there is a guide in the printed instructions. I spent $500 on a Dyson hair dryer that does not straighten my hair type (wavy) at all, so the money spent on this flat iron seems like money better spent. Hope it lasts for a long time.

Straightens well, but not for everyday use!
It works very well but frequently used will cause heat damage. Not for everyday use! Use sparingly!!

Pulls and breaks my hair, but does the job.
Not bad but somehow manages to pull and break my hair instead of smoothly sliding through. May be a fluke with the one I received but I did expect more with the price and reputation this has. Heats up quickly. I like the longer plates. Not terribly hot to the fingers if touched in passing.

What you see is not always what you get!
My problem is not with BaByliss, I think they are great irons. My problem is with whoever takes responsibility of selling this item here. Background on this is I am a Hair salon owner for over 35 years. I want my clients to use good tools so they don’t fry their hair. As I have said I have been happy with BaByliss for years. My distributor charges me a fortune for their irons. So for last few years I have been sending my clients to eBay to get it at a fair price I thought. Only to find that most are knock offs or copies. My problem with copies are they might look the exactly like the real thing but are not the same inside heating element and other important parts. Even more disheartening is that we think we are buying the real deal because the box even says the item is warranty for (4) yes 4 years. I have work with Conair over the last year that distributes BaByliss and have even have send some of the irons to them to see if it’s the real deal. Sorry to say high percentage were fakes. So recently I decided to buy them myself to retail of Amazon after all its Amazon right. Out of 12 irons I received within 2 weeks some of them just did not seem right. Remember I am looking for fakes. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was one iron still sealed unopened had a large chipped on the handle and was repainted with touch-up paint which I know BaByliss would never do. It’s called quality control. What does one do when some things go wrong and you send it back to CONAIR/BABYLISS for warranty for repair or replacement? Who do you go to then when they tell you they are not real? Amazon or the seller will you know what to do? I am not saying every single one is copy, what does one do when a seller sells? % real and the other fakes / copies. Do you know that one can buy 50 knock off/copy/fake irons from China for less than $23 each? That is hell of a mark up. If you were a seller which one would you sell? The one that cost less to buy so that there is a bigger return I think. One can only hope at that point they get the good/real one. Unless one contact the seller to ask who will back up the product when it goes south? What other iron do you know are warranty for (4) years. That is just my input some might not even care. But for me I had to send it back to Amazon which they refunded me, I cannot take the chance to retail them to my clients. My advice is that you keep your invoice and write down the name of the seller not just Amazon so you have some type of record when needed. 4 year is a long time will you still have your paper work after all that time? Please take the time to read the bad reviews first! You will notice they are all the same problems. Heating plates that do not close on one side. Hair that slides out, hairs being pull out as you use the iron. Hair being burnt with hooked burnt ends. Don’t even think about using the fakes if you have fine hair. It will fry you hair with just a few use. The reason is the fake ones do not control the heat as the real ones. For people that has the real deal with fine hair. Do not set the heat setting more than 35. Bottom line here is it only takes only a few clicks to buy the iron. But it will take months if not years to get your hair back to where it was before using a fake.

Doesn’t work well in the UAE. I have thick and wavy hair. It Doesn’t straighten my hair like other straighteners. Not recommended for middle eastern hair.

De todas las planchas que he tenido esta ha sido la. Mejor, es la segunda que compro (la otra la pisé y la rompí de un lado) y pedí otra babyliss pero la devolví porque definitivamente este modelo es el. Mejor. No hace freeze, plancha a la primera. La amo!
