5.0 out of 5 stars A Miracle for my Kinky Hair!! October 6, 2009

By R. Edwards

I am an African American woman with naturally kinky/coarse hair. I decided to stop using relaxers over a year ago, furthermore straightening my hair became a difficult task. I could never seem to get the results I was looking for out of a flat iron without going to a professional hair salon and spending $65.00 a visit.

I previously used FHI ceramic flat irons which straightened my hair and then left it frizzy again within the next hour. A hairstylist friend of mines suggested the Babyliss Pro Titanium irons. I purchased them from Amazon for $70 bucks and received them in about 5 days. "A miracle!!" I can't live without them now. My hair goes from frizzy/kinky to silky/straight/shiny in the blink of an eye. The best part is that it "STAYS" silky and straight until the next time I need to wash and straighten. No gimmic here. I highly recommend them over chi and fhi.

1.0 out of 5 stars What you see is not always what you get! September 19, 2012

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. Also check link below on others who received the fake irons from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/review/R2468NGER1RWQK/ref=cm_cd_pg_next?ie=UTF8&asin=B002NGMEV2&cdForum=Fx38BM5NUGM0MV2&cdPage=2&cdThread=Tx112Z0UK01XBLJ&store=beauty#wasThisHelpful

Please buy this product if u don't believe me..

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Product!! Good Price too. :) August 17, 2009

By Jessica

Size Name:1 1/2

This Product is amazing. I have very thick, curly,unruly, coarse hair. I have been through a lot of different flat irons including the (InStyler Rotating Iron)and all of them have just crushed my hair and made it looked really dry and un healthy with breaks at the ends, or the've made it poofy and not all that straight. This iron just glides through my hair and straightens it to perfection in only 1 glide so it does cut my styling time in half. It also curls very well and they do hold. Only caution is that it does get EXTEREMLY hot so be careful and I would make sure to have an anti burn mat on your counter. Its an amazing product so far and it works with any type of hair, the heat setting is ajustable and each temp is for a certain hair type (the manual has a guide for the different temps and hair types). Plus this price is a steal! I would recommend it to anyone (especially girls with really thick unmanagble hair.) :D

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Flat Iron November 15, 2010

By JLI

Size Name:1 1/2

I have very thick hair and a lot of it - a double whammy! I'm also growing it out and am a couple inches past my shoulders. I have been using a Cricket flat iron for about 4 years and I think from wear and tear plus my longer hair, it just fizzled out, although to be fair, it never got quite as hot as the BaByliss.

I've used it twice thus far, setting the heat at 410 (this iron goes up to 450). A couple swipes on each section of hair and it's done. It glides along nicely. I've only gotten a few minor snags (a lot less than I used to get my with my Cricket). Even slept on, my hair is still smooth and straight as a pin when I wake up the next day (I have a natural wave). If you have long/thick hair, I would suggest getting an iron with the wider dimension - BaByliss offers various sizes. In 10 minutes, I'm done. It does also heat up very quickly. Like the instructions say, don't test the heat with your hand - you will get burned!

I am giving this a 5 star rating because of how well it works, but there are a couple of things to beware of:

The handle does get pretty warm. It's tolerable, but don't expect to feel no heat on the handle. I would also start with a lower heat setting and see how it does. I'm actually thinking of going to the next lowest heat to see how well it works so I don't unintentionally burn my hair.

My last tip is about the price: I shopped locally for a good flat iron and called a local salon who recommended BaByliss, being that's what they primarily sold. Their price was around $140, compared to the $87.90 price tag here on Amazon. For what you're getting in this flat iron, it is an excellent deal!
