Flat Iron Review: Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Flat Iron Review….Hair done in 15 Minutes?

Flat Iron Reviews of the Babyliss Flat Iron

If flat iron reviews are anything to go by, women all over the world love Babyliss hair styling tools. Why? Well, one because say they are cheap(ish) and two because they really do give you sleek and shiny and salon quality results.

I’ve already discussed the Babyliss Pro Diamond flat iron and gave it away to one lucky reader. Now I’m going to review the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Flat Iron which is one of their most popular hair straighteners.

 

Let’s first go over the “mane” features of the Babyliss Pro Nano and then we will discuss the the user reviews, both positive and negative.

User Reviews

As usual, I want you to know what the users of this flat iron had to say. No one straightener works for all people so pay attention to details of what each customer said. Then apply it to your own experiences.

Positive Flat Iron Reviews About the Babyliss Pro Nano from Users

– an African American lady with natural hair says that her hair went from kinky and frizzy to silky and it lasted until she washed her hair again

– one reviewer said that they only had to do each section of hair once and it got straight

– one lady with tons of hair says that she gets done straightening in 15 minutes. And she gets lots of compliment

– one reviewer said it took 1 hour to straightener her hair with a CHI but only 15 minutes with a Babyliss Pro Nano

Negative Flat Iron Reviews about the Babyliss Pro Nano by Users

– One user said that she wouldn’t wish this flat iron on her worst enemy (or maybe she would). Gave her dry hair.

– Another said that there had been complaints of knock off version

– One complaint is that the outside gets hot

– Another said that it is too easy to turn the power button on and off and it makes it frustrating to straighten your hair

– One user said that it did snag her hair

So as always some people loved the Babyliss Pro Nano and some people hated it. I’m wondering if some of the people who hated it truly had the real version of the flat iron or a knock off. Complaints like the flat iron coming without instructions sets off a red flag to me. Guess we’ll never really know.

Anywhoo, there’s no point in worrying about that. If you buy the Babyliss flat iron from Amazon you should be getting an authentic straightener. If not then, you always have 30 days to return your product so there’s nothing to lose.

In the meantime, let me show you the overall rating of the flat iron.

Babyliss Pro Nano Flat Iron Rating

 Based on reviews from Amazon and Folica, the Babyliss Pro Nano got:

Likes: 878 Positive ratings

Neutral: 30 Neutral ratings

Dislikes: 76 Negative ratings

Total: 984 ratings

Should You Get The Babyliss Pro Nano?

 You’ve seen the before and after pics. You’ve watched the videos. You’ve read the flat iron reviews. But you’re still not convinced. It is a touch decision. One you have to make yourself. However, maybe answering these questions will help decide.

– If you’ve used Babyliss products in the past, did they work well on your hair?

– Does your hair respond better to ceramic or titanium irons?

– Has every thing else you’ve tried failed?

I hope answering these will lead you on the right path. Perhaps it is leading you to buying the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium hair straightener . If so let me know how it works for you.

 Still not sure? Then read about how I finally found my perfect straightener and see my before and after pics. Stay tuned for my flat iron reviews in the future.

Flat Iron Review #5: Babyliss Pro Diamond Titanium Flat Iron with Swarovski Crystals

     I am really excited about this flat iron review today ya’ll. The Babyliss Diamond titanium flat iron has awesome reviews (update: not so much anymore…buy with caution) . I mean there are some flat irons that get good reviews and some that get amazing reviews and this hair straightener is one of them. Wait until you see positive user comments. You are going to want to run out right away and get this flat iron.


Babyliss Diamond Pro Features:

  • Durable
  • Ultra-smooth titanium plates
  • Distributes heat evenly
  • Resist scratches
  • Glides effortlessly through hair
  • Decorated with Swarovski Crystals
  • Hat levels up to 419 F in less than 30 seconds
  • Titanium Technology
  • Super hard, smooth surface for snag free styling
  • Negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair
  • Far Infrared Heat – penetrates hair shaft, drying the hair from the inside out so more moisture remains in hair shaft and less damage is done to the hair.
  • Adjustable temperature dials that go up to 450 degrees360
  • 360 swivel cord

The Babyliss is Awesome Because It:

  • Leaves the hair salon silky and shiny
  • Doesn’t snag hair
  • Gives hair volume and movement
  • Leaves coarse hair, in particular, silky and super shiny
  • Leaves curly and thick hair smooth and soft

  • Seems to lock out moisture
  • Stays straight even when users got sweaty
  • Has an easy to handle size
  • Was able to straighten hair in half the time of other flat irons
  • Doesn’t get too hot on the tip to where you cannot touch it
  • Kept hair from getting frizzy in humidity
  • Kept hair one user’s hair straight for 3 weeks in humid weather
  • Is lightweight
  • Glides easily
  • Straightened the roots

However The Babyliss Diamond Is Not Perfect Because:

  • For one user it didn’t last for more than a month (hopefully a lemon)
  • It straightened a user’s hair but hair was still frizzy
  • For one user it took more passes to get hair straight

Flat Iron Best For Those With:

  • Curly/Wavy Hair
  • Thick Hair
  • Natural Hair (great reviews from naturals/3c and 4a hair types)
  • Asian Hair
  • Fine Hair

Price Range:

  • Department Store $$ ($40-$99)

My Overall Verdict:


Okay are ya’ll ready for this. I”m giving my first five star flat iron rating! Honestly this flat iron has it all. It’s ceramic and titanium. Straightens all hair types beautifully and the sleekness lasts a long time. No reports of the iron damaging anyone’s hair. It is a great price. It has a money back guarantee and a warranty. And it is a beautiful flat iron to boot. I love the Swarovski Crystal inlaid into it. It really adds something special to it.

 

I would run not walk to go get this flat iron!

I hope you will give the Babyliss Diamond Pro a shot but if you are still wanting to do more research, my next hair straightener review will be about the Sedu’s biggest (and cheaper) rival. Please come back and have a look.

10 Things You Must Do To Keep Your Hair Straight

Hey Everyone, How To Straighten Hair

 

As you may know, I like to answer questions on Yahoo Answers and as I was answering this one question I thought “Hmmm, this looks like a blog post”.  See what you think…

 

 

Nadia Asked: Why won’t my hair stay flat!?

 

I have natural hair, and every time I straighten it with my flat iron, and I comb it (or not) it goes right back to being big again. I love my big hair no doubt, but I just want to know why it goes back to being big I’m Haitian with a little Asian and Hispanic and don’t know anyone else with this problem. Could thinning my hair make it stay flat?

 


My Answer: I totally agree with the person who said don’t thin your hair out! Please please please don’t do that.

 

Do you know how many people would love to have your thick hair. I’m sure it’s beautiful but you just need a little encouragement to get it to stay straight. I understand. I have very thick hair like you. Follow these steps.When you are about to flat iron your hair, you want everything that you do to your hair to promote straightness.

 

1) Use a straightening shampoo on your hair. I recommend Sleek Look By Matrix Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner Liter Duo Set . The reviews for it are amazing.

2) Use a straightening conditioner on your hair. See suggestion above

3) Let your final rinse be freezing cold water. This really does serve to flatten your hair. I know from experience. In order to get your body ready for the cold water, just slowly turn the water from warm to cool so that your body can slowly adjust. It’s kinda refreshing once you get used to it

4) Use a sleekening/straightening leave in conditioner. L’Oreal Paris EverSleek, Humidity Defying Leave-In Crème is a good one to try.

5) Blow dry your hair with a good quality blow dryer. This is a must especially for those of us with thick hair. You need to use a blow dryer that is ceramic. Turbo Power Twin Blow Dryers are the kinds of blow dryers that Dominican Hairstylists use and they get your hair incredibly straight with a round brush.

6) Use a heat protectant that also has straightening abilities. This is so your hair won’t be weighted down and will have movement and bounce. The less product you use, the more bounce your hair will have. I suggest Sabino Lok and Blok

7) Flat iron your hair in a well ventilated room. If the room is too hot then you will start to sweat and your hair will revert back just as fast as you straighten it. You also need to make sure you are using a good quality flat iron like a Sedu or BaByliss

8) Use a humidity blocker spray on your hair. Avlon KeraCare Oil Sheen with Humidity Block 11 oz. has a perfedt 5 star rating.

9) Wrap your hair when you are done and do a silk wrap under a dryer. Look at the video for instructions:

 

[vsw id=”QDOPWlDylV4″ source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]



10) Spray hair daily with humidity blocker and wrap hair at night.


I really hope this helps Nadia and helps you all too. This is as detailed as I know to get but if I think of some more I will definitely let ya’ll know.

TR Flat Iron Review Quiz Scavenger Hunt

Hello All,
So we’ve had quite a few posts now and something I really like doing are quizzes. There’s several reasons for that.
1) They are fun
2) They are hands on
3) They force you to…think!!!
 
In light of all of these wonderful things, I have come up with a quiz that will require you to go on a treasure or scavenger hunt around this blog to find the answers. It’s a sneaky way to get you to read the posts that you decided to skip over for whatever reason…or to discover ones you never knew about. And perhaps in the process, you will find a flat iron for your very own. Yea!!!
So let’s begin…
[mtouchquiz 2]
So how did you do? Did you learn about a new flat iron? The Ginalli Milano perhaps? Did you sign up for the 5 Flat Iron Fairy Tales email series yet (hint hint)?
I hope you had fun on your scavenger hunt. Obviously, as I do more and more posts doing a quiz like this would be hard so I wanted to do while there was still relatively few posts.
Be sure to come back soon because you never know what’s in store. You may kick yourself if you miss it.
Stay Tuned,
