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

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

– Another reviewer with natural hair said that it made her hair silky and straight as well

– Others claimed that it does not snag hair like other straighteners they had used.

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.

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.

So the PYT makes some pretty lofty claims. Lets see if they live up to them. Read these hair straightener reviews and see if you can relate.

Positive PYT Flat Iron Reviews

Negative PYT Flat Iron Reviews

– Some say the flat iron wasn’t new like it was supposed to be. I think this is related to the seller. This seller doesn’t have those complaints

PYT Flat Iron Review: Final Impression

The PYT flat iron overall seems like a very good flat iron with happy customers. Be sure to watch out for sellers that may say they are selling new flat irons but are sending used ones instead. Other than that one caveat, it seems like you will be on your way to super straight and shiny hair like the company says you will. Awesome!

Flat Iron Review #1: The Chi (Original)

Hello and Welcome to Top Rated Flat Iron Reviews,

So, I know why you are here…   The Chi flat iron is the most popular flat iron on the market today so its only natural that you would be intrigued by it. You want to know why it is the best selling flat iron Amazon….You want to know why it gets called “the Chi” like it was some superstar diva that only goes by one name like Cher or Madonna. The Chi has in fact reached legendary status in the world of flat irons but does it really live up to the hype… Let’s see…

The Chi’s Features

Full Name: Ceramic 1 inch Flat Iron By Chi

Claim to Fame: Most popular flat iron, first ceramic flat iron

 10 Foot Cord:

– Is lightweight

– Heats quickly

– Gives silky and shinier results

– Locks in color and prevent color from fading

– Has fixed temperatures on some models

– Has ceramic plates and coils

– Has ergonomic Design

– Straightens, curls, flips and styles your hair

Users SayThe Chi Rocks Because It:

• Smooths thick, curly, and frizzy hair
• Creates long lasting styles
• Heats quickly
• Straightens hair quickly

But They Hate That

• It cannot be used with a converter overseas
• The plates start to chip
• It turned their black hair brown (heat damage anyone?)
•  Gave them heat damage because their hair was losing its curl
• Gave them split ends
• They received a fake Chi
• It didn’t straighten their hair
• Customer service was not great
• There was a fixed temperature on some models

This Flat Iron Is Best For Those With:

• Thick Hair
• Frizzy Hair
• Curly/Wavy4

My Overall Opinion of the Chi

My Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars You’ve read through the claims, the pros, the cons but you still may be torn. That is a long list of cons but could such a mystical flat iron be that bad? The Chi does have its drawbacks, not the least of them being the fixed temperature settings and the possibly phony Chi flat irons being billed as the real thing. However, it is hard to argue with results like these….Peep the videos below:

[vsw id=”ck7VHzkZ-5Y” source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]

Also, check out these before and after pictures Chi Before and After #1 Chi Before and After #2 See how enviably beautiful their hair looked after using the Chi? It’s possible that you too could get salon like results like they did. Their hair shone like glass and I’ve seen many other before and afters where the women also had sleek and shiny hair. They really did have that shampoo commercial model look to them except these were real women just like you and me.

  Overall, I give the Chi 3.5 stars out of 5 because of its fixed temperature and customer complaints. But if you can overlook that, then I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Chi flat iron, The Chi is number on Amazon for a reason after all.   If you are not sold on the original Chi, then check out this more updated Chi flat iron. It has tourmaline plates and is digital and has variable temperatures so it takes care of two of my biggest issues with the original Chi.

Flat Iron Review #4: The FHI Technique

FHI flat irons are the 2nd most googled flat irons after the Chi. I covered the Runway and the Platform, earlier this week. Now I want to tell you about the FHI Technique. The FHI Technique is lowest grade flat iron out of the three. Consequently, it is also the least expensive and has the lowest ratings/reviews of the three. That is not to say that this is a bad flat iron. Its not. Take a look:

FHI Technique Features:

• Tourmaline plates that absorb moisture and reduce static
• Advanced PTC heater/heats quickly and evenly
• Auto sense control calibrates to heat to your texture
• Beveled ceramic plates to curl and flip hair
• Proprietary nano-fuzeion technology for “unmatched” conditioning and shine
• Far infared heat gentle on hair
• Low electromagnetic field I” plates
• Swivel cord
• Max temp 410°

The FHI Technique Rocks Because:

• It makes hair soft, for naturals
• It’s good for thick hair
• It seems to last a long time
• It makes hair silky
• It creates long lasting curls

But It Sucks Because It:

• Didn’t straighten well for some users
• Has a fixed temp
• It gets too hot for some hair types and temp is not adjustable
• The customer service not so great
• It is damaging to the hair over time

 Price Range:

• Department Store $$ ($40-$99)

My Final Word on the FHI Technique

A big fat no! Sorry…This is an okay flat iron but I really hate fixed temperature settings. You want to have control of how hot the flat iron gets, period. Now, there may be some of the Techniques that have variable settings. I think maybe the newer ones have this feature but make sure you check first. This is not a flat iron I would get. It seems to be worth the money to get the FHI Platform.

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

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
• Only needed one or two passes to get users hair completely straight and stayed straight no matter what the weather is like
• Made hair seemed straighter even after being washed
• Makes hair looks shiny & healthy
• 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.

TR Flat Iron Reviews Quick Post: Cheap vs Expensive Flat Irons

Hey Ya’ll,

I found this question on Yahoo answers a little ago  and I think it is a very obvious question but one that is not answered very often. Here is my take on it:

Q: What the difference between cheap and expensive flat irons?

A:  Okay so there are two different ways to answer this question…We can look at it as what the actual differences are and what the actual differences should be.

What the actual difference should be between expensive and cheap flat irons:

1) Expensive flat irons should first and foremost use higher quality material for their plates. For instance, the $200 Ghd should use more solid ceramic heaters and plates than the $30 Conair. The Conair usually uses a ceramic coating on its plate with the actual plate being made out of… metal, aluminum? I don’t know but it is not good for your hair nor does it produce the negative ions that give you the shiny look that you are going for when you flat iron

2) They should have more features that cheaper flat iron. Various nano technologies, digital displays, higher temperature settings, longer cords, and they should last longer than a drugstore flat iron although that is in no way guaranteed.

2) Sometimes part of the difference is how the flat iron has marketed itself. Remington is a very well established company that has sought to be affordable for almost everyone. They might make good flat irons that they are able to sell cheaper because they are a household name, so to speak. For instance, the Remington Shine Therapy Flat Iron gets great reviews and it is under $60. These are considered consumer flat irons for as regular folks.

Little Known Flat Iron Reviews: Ginalli Milano

Hello All,

What a find I’ve just had. As i have said before, you do not have to spend tons of money to get the super sleek hair that you want. Prime example. I just found out about this flat iron from Ginali Milano. Perhaps you have heard of it but I have not. It is a black tourmaline/ceramic hair straightener with a LIFETIME warranty and heats up to 460 degrees.It has round plates which means that it is good for curling your hair. And its design is erogonomic with a swivel cord. And it is a dual voltage which means you only need an adapter to be able to use it on your trip to France or wherever. Sweet!

Here’s a video of it in action:

[vsw id=”7z6gNlRP0WI” source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]

Oh and btw…its under $50!

If that’s not good enough..One user claimed that it gets their daughter’s hair straight on the first pass. She had tried numerous hair straighteners on her daughters thick and unruly hair before she found one that worked.

Babes, you need to take a look at this. If you have searched for a flat iron and none of them worked then this might be the one to try. According to this user, the flat iron can sell for up to $180 so to get it under $60 is a steal. Please take a look and see what you think: Ginalli Milano Tourmaline Black Flat Iron / Hair Straightener Dual Voltage 110v-240v

BTW, don’t forget about the sale going on at flat iron experts where you get 3 free gifts if you spend over $100 cad. And trust me…lots more is coming up that you won’t want to miss.

Flat Iron Review #7: HSI Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron (Designer Straightener for a Department Store Price)

Okay Ya’ll,

Picture going into Ulta, seeing the flat iron you want and the price tag says it costs $299. Dismayed though you are, you still carry on and take the straightener to the cashier to check out. Then when she scans it, the flat iron rings up to be under $50.

Oh the glee that would be on all your faces if this happened to any one of you. I know I would be hopping up and down, running out of the store before they could change their minds.

Fortunately, this supposedly hypothetical situation can not only happen but it gets better. You don’t even have to go to the store.  You can get it on Amazon. And hey the flat iron makes your hair kinda awesome too.

Now, I’m a bit ashamed to admit that once again, I’ve found a flat iron that I hadn’t really heard of until maybe a few months ago (me the so called flat iron guru). But no matter. As long as it knocks it out of the park, who cares?


The HSI Ceramic and Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron (that comes with a free Biosilk Sample) is another straightener that is loved by its users. Yes this is the flat iron mentioned in my little scenario. Cool, right? I don’t know how it can be that cheap. Some things don’t need an explanation.

Flat Iron Description
Antways, here is the details for the HSI (my comments in red):

– Read more HSI flat iron reviews

The HSI flat iron is one of the best in its price category, according to its user reviews and ratings.  A flat iron that makes your hair silky and sleek for under $50? It doesn’t get much better than that.  Go ahead and read more about the HSI hair straightener and see what the big deal is.

P.S. Have you ever had bought something for way less than you thought it would be? Share your own glee in the comments below.

Flat Iron Review Battle: Sedu vs Solia (Who’s the Winner?)

And the moment you’ve been waiting for, 

The winner of the Sedu vs Solia flat iron review battle is….the flat iron that made its user’s hair look like they stepped  out of a salon. It is the flat iron that made its user’s hair look like silk.  It is the flat iron that had the best before and after pictures. It is the flat iron that…okay okay so I’m not quite ready to tell you what it is yet.

 You see, I want ya’ll to guess which one the winner is. I’m going to provide links to before and after pictures for both flat irons. If you can, don’t look at which flat iron is being reviewed. Instead, just look at the pictures and see which links show the users with the shiniest, sleekest, and healthiest looking hair.

Once you’ve looked at the pics and made your decision, come back and see if you agree with me.

Deal?

Flat Iron #1

Flat Iron #2

Well, I’ve got my pick. How’ bout you?

The winner of Top Rated Flat Iron Review’s very first flat iron battle is…

The Sedu!

Why is the Sedu flat iron the winner?

1) Ratings- Using my ratings system, the Sedu had a 93% positive rating vs the Solia’s 80%.

2) Before and After Pics- A pic is worth a thousand words and in this case the Sedu’s after pictures spoke volumes. The Sedu’s “after” pictures showed results shinier, straighter, and sleeker than the Solia.

It’s true not everyone loved the Sedu Flat Iron but overall, it is the clear winner. I would recommend it to anyone.

If you are on a tighter budget the Solia is not a bad choice. However, if you are ready to make an investment, the Sedu Flat Iron is the best pick of the two and the winner of our epic battle. Time to get the salon quality hair you’ve always dreamed of.

Whew…glad that’s settled. But if you’re still not convinced, take a look at these other popular flat irons:
