Tag Archives for " Flat Iron Reviews "
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.
Full Name: Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron
Plate Type: Nano Titanium plates
Plate Size: 1″ – 1 3/4″
Temperature Type: LED temperature settings
Flat Iron Type: Digital ionic technology
Temp Range: Heats up to 450F (can be used to give or maintain a Keratin treatment)
Cord: Swivel power cord
Warranty: 4 year limited warranty
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.
– 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.
– Another user said that the Babyliss leaves her hair pin straight and super shiny
– 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.
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.
See ya’ll,
Wait! Before your eyes start to glaze over from the seemingly academic heading, hear me out. It is a necessity for you to know the anatomy of a flat iron before you can buy the perfect one. Why? Because if you don’t, you can easily bamboozled and dazzled by terms like nano-silver and far infared lasers. This next section will tell you what terms should impress you and which terms are all hype.
Obviously I would not recommend getting a flat iron with metal plates. Their is not flat iron that is truly good for your hair but flat irons with metals plates the worst. The cheaper flat irons are usually the ones that have the metal plates. Even if they say “ceramic”, if the flat iron is really cheap then it will probably only have a very thin coating on it so I would be very wary of buying those $15 flat irons.
If you are on a tight budget though here are a few flat irons that get really good reviews from their users and seem to be the leaders of the pack for inexpensive flat irons:

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…
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
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=”e0SkvFnQFRc” source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]
[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.
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:
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.

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 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.
Thanks a bunch,
You won’t believe this,
I still can’t… I think it MUST be a misprint…Right?
Click the Picture to find out why this is my reaction….
Really?? Really?
Seriously…There are just no words…I just can’t…
Wow….That’s all I can say…
SMDH,
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.
Thanks for reading,
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):
– Straighten, flip and curl your hair (great because you want to be able to do multiple things with your flat iron)
– Adjustable temperature from 240 oF to 410oF (120oC – 200oC) to suit for all hair types (YES…please only get adjustable temperature flat irons)
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.

What’s up ya’ll,
So in my Youtube video of the same name, I promised some links to certain things so here they are:
FlatironExperts.com Online Beauty Shop Coriolis Flat Irons Amika Flat Irons Amika Flat Irons I also promised that I would give ya’ll more in depth answers to the questions in case you needed more explanation.
But first let me explain what the heck I’m talking about. What I’ve done was searched and found the questions that people asked in the comment section of this video:
[vsw id=”BYSg6nowKvE” source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]
Then I created my own video, answering all of the major questions that were asked about the KQC X-Heat flat iron. Here’s my video response…
[vsw id=”slP6ZDDNotw” source=”youtube” width=”425″ height=”344″ autoplay=”no”]
Now, I want to answer their questions in more detail, so if I answered your question in the video, look for your name in red:
NidaBasir asked: Hi i was just wondering what u preffered for really thick rebellious hair, the KQC or the Avanti CROC?
My Answer: Avanti and Croc are two different flat iron companies and while they both make good flat irons (depending on the type), I think the KQC flat irons are better quality based on what I’ve read and user reviews.
flowerbloempje asked: Hello, I wanna know where I can buy the Flat iron. Are there fake KQC flat irons? And is there a special KQC flat iron for thick hair. And can you curl your hair also with this flat iron? Because I only want to straighten it. And I have very thick and curly hair, what KQC flat iron is the best for me?
My Answer: You can buy KQC X-Heat at Flat Iron Experts . There is no particular KQC flat iron for thick hair but I believe it would work for thick hair for sure. As I said before, it works for thick natural African American hair so it shouldn’t be a problem. And if there are fake KQC straighteners, I don’t think they would come from Flat Iron Experts.
EduStef asked: hi Rose! i will like know Is it true that the CROC INFRARED flat iron is better that KQC?? (i have the kqc because of you :)♥)…or the question is tourmaline vs infrared? what you do think?
My Answer:The Croc Infrared and the KQC are both good choices. The thing is, the KQC might be great for your friend and not so good for you while the Croc might be amazing for your hair and not so good for your friend. It’s all relative. But there is a good chance based on the numbers that the KQC will work for you. And you have a 30 day window to return it if you buy it from Flat Iron Experts.
1jlovesmac asked: hello im from the uk are the plugs the same as i want to get a kqc because ghds work in other countries than yhe uk? xox
and
funlover9467 asked: so are both the mini and the normal size duel voltage cuz i live in ireland ? And if not could you suggest a good flat iron thnxx
and
missmunch05 asked: will the hair straightner work in the UK because i think the plug socket is different??
My Answer: No I don’t think they are dual voltage. But the GHD flat irons are I believe and they are made in Korea so they might have the same type of technology as the KQC.
ShakenNotStirredx asked: Do you know if flatironexperts ship to the uk?
My Answer: No but Amazon does and it has the KQC X-Heat
PinkMuffin143 asked: Would the KCQ work for thick and curly hair and could you buy it in stores??
My Answer: Yes it will work for thick and curly hair for sure. It works for natural African-American hair too. If you live in Canada then you can buy it at a few places but you can’t really buy it in any stores in America that I can see. Flat Iron Experts is probably the best place to get it since it honors manufacturers warranty.
eyesiheartnihal asked: Is the KQC Flat Iron 100% ceramic?
My Answer: The debate about flat irons being 100% ceramic still rages on. Some people say that flat irons can’t be 100% ceramic because ceramic is an inorganic material that would not be a hard enough material to actually flat iron your hair with. Inbox me and I can send you my flat iron guide with more info. Regardless, the KQC is a great buy.
Cwazyangel00 asked: where can you buy macadamian oil and stuff ? is it available in toronto ?
My Answer: Macadamian Oil is available on Amazon…I would think it would be seeing how Flat Iron Experts is a Canadian company.
RAJASISO asked: hi i am trying to buy KQC but which one is better KQC X-Heat or KQC Red Devil
My Answer: The X-Heat would be the best choice. The X-Heat has Korean heaters which are supposed to be the best in the industry.
chloemariie96 asked: EVERYONE!! PLEASE ANSWER IF YOU KNOW. whats the difference between the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron & the KQC Red Devil Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron ????
My Answer: The biggest difference I see is that the kqc x-heat has Korean ceramic heaters and they seem to be the best in the business. They are known for heating up quickly and for having few hot spots and even heat across the plate. The Red Devil does not have this technology.
FLiH69 asked: iWant To Buy This Flatiron; iF iBuy iT Today Does It Still Come With The Mini Flatiron, Free Shipping, &’ Heat Protecting/ Shine Spray Whatever? &’ Does The Discount Still Work? Thanks(:
and
Cjonassass101 asked: the kqc doesn’t come with the mini flat iron no more right?
and
skinnyjeanzzzfreakkk: Will this offer to get heat protectent spray and the mini flat iron still be avaliable in august.? (: Your video’s are great plz dnt ever quit!!
My Answer: Yes, there should still be free shipping for orders over $50 and if you spend over a $100 CAD (which shouldn’t be hard since the KQC Flat iron is over $100) then you get the free mini flat iron and the KQC Shine Spray and the flat iron holder. This is as of 10-18-11.
punkalicious123: Does it have a warranty limit?if so, where would you take it in case something goes wrong. Im planning to invest in one, is it worth the money?
My Answer: The KQC flat irons are worth the money, if they work for your hair type. Fortunately, they work on all hair types. But if you try it and you don’t like it, you can always return within 30 days per Flat Iron Experts return policy.
The KQC does come with a 1 year limited warranty and if something goes wrong with it, all you have to do is contact Flat Iron Experts and follow their instructions on how to receive help. There is a link at the bottom of their website that says warranty and it explains the easy process.
Whew! That was a lot of questions. I hope your KQC question was answered somewhere in there. And if this starts to take off, I will plan on doing more of these question and answer video posts.
Go ahead and visit FlatironExperts.comwhile you still have a chance to get the mini flat iron, KQC Shine Spray, and flat iron holder. That is a major deal that you don’t want to miss. You could be on your way to having gorgeous hair like Rosebud so don’t wait!
