Great Flat Iron, March 15, 2010
This review is from: BabylissPro Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Straightening Iron - BABNT2091T (Health and Beauty)
I love this flat iron. Its the best I've had so far and I have gone through quite a few. The CHI is definitely the worst by far and I also have a HerStyler and I still use that occasionally when I do someone elses hair but this is a definite tool for me. I dont have the straightest hair and I would classify my hair as crinkly curly with relaxed ends but I've been growing it out for almost a year without a relaxer and this is quite useful when I need it because after I wash my hair and straighten it I can just wrap it each night to maintain my style and I dont use it everyday because it lasts until I wash my hair and style it again.

An old friend of mine., December 5, 2010
This review is from: BabylissPro Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Straightening Iron - BABNT2091T (Health and Beauty)
Well, maybe not TOO old, technically speaking, but I've had this iron for three years now and I still love it. It was a Christmas present; after some research I selected this iron over others mainly because I wanted to try this "titanium" stuff and the price seemed fairly reasonable.
This thing works wonders. I have naturally straight hair any, but this iron eliminates all my random frizzies and occasional errant waves. It heats up fast, gets VERY hot (I use most of my heat styling tools on maximum setting, but not this one), and on the whole is quite effective. The buttons make for easy use, and it makes good contact with my hair (I can't stand those irons that cant "grip" hair and just lets it slide through).
The plates are really shiny, almost mirrored. I feel like it conducts heat much better than ceramic, and it's quite pretty! Also, this iron does not require frequent cleaning. My ceramic irons always used to get burnt, brown buildup on them that I would have to clean off. Not so with this one! I can remember having to clean this iron ONCE in my three years of ownership, and even then it was a very slight buildup that came off with a damp cloth.
What I really love about this product, though is that I can use it to curl my hair! I doesn't have a rounded shape, but it still works wonders (you can look up many videos on Youtube for technique on how to do this). My hair, like I said, is naturally straight; before I tried this iron it would not hold a curl at all (or, if it did, it required at least two hours of hard work with a curling iron and at least half a bottle of hair spray). Now, however, it takes me 20 minutes, tops. A few spritzes of light-hold hairspray, and I'm done; the curls can even last for a second day of wear.
Like all irons, I recommend a good heat protectant so your hair doesn't fry, but overall I LOVE LOVE LOVE this iron.

This flat iron is excellent. It has an adjustable range for heat from 300-450 degrees. It is really smooth and doesn't get caught in your hair. It has an adjustable cord so it doesn't get all tangled up. I love it and recommend it highly.
