Product Rating: 4 I love my new Iron
Reviewer: Karen from New York  Thu Jan 18 2007

I especially love how quickly it heats up. I don't have to wait a half hour to use it. The pad that goes with it is perfect.

Product Rating: 5 Happy!
Reviewer: Flo from Baltimore, MD  Wed Jan 17 2007

This is a great straightener and the wide plates allow me to straighten my long hair in minutes! It does a great job and my hair is straight and shiny since I got it! To get such great results in such little time is so worth it!

Product Rating: 5 THE BEST IRON EVER!!! :)
Reviewer: YADI from MIAMI, FL.  Wed Jan 17 2007

I FIRST DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS IRON WHEN ONE OF MY FRIENDS PURCHASED THE IRON AND I SAW HER NAPPY HAIR WAS SUPER STRAIGHT!I HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR 4 YEARS. I HAVE BOUGHT 3 OF THEM, THE FIRST ONE BROKE BECAUSE MY FRIEND LEFT IT ON SO I THEN PURCHASED 2 MORE, ONE FOR ME AND ONE FOR MY FRIEND. ITS BEEN 2 YEARS LATER AND I USE THE IRON ATLEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK AND IT'S ALWAYS LIKE THE FIRST TIME! IT DOES PULL YOUR HAIR IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE IT! I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO EVERYONE AND SINCE THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT IT I'VE HAD 5 OTHER FRIENDS PURCHASE IT AS WELL.. :)

Purchased aas a gift for grand daughter. She uses it every day and loves it. Has to be carefull, as it gets real hot.

Product Rating: 1 Pulls Hair
Reviewer: Sue from Canada  Wed Oct 18 2006

I've had this iron for a couple years, I just recently bought a GHD Iron because this one is a piece of JUNK. If you enjoy you hair being pulled get it.
I recomend spending a little more and buying a GHD it's 100% worth it.

Product Rating: 4 yummy!!
Reviewer: jukes from Ontario, CA  Tue Sep 26 2006

I just got the Babyliss straightener yesterday and I am sooo happy! It is so fantastic!!! Reading these comments it looks like a lot of poeple are unhappy but I am SOO happy because I was only used to the drug store/discount store hair straightners where it takes 45 minutes to straighten my hair. So I am extremely pleased with my straightner!! It only took 3 minutes!!! thumbs up!!

Product Rating: 1 You've got to be kidding
Reviewer: Sarah from Florida  Sat Sep 09 2006

I've got to tell you all, that this iron is the worst. It doesn't even straighten your hair! It's OK if you already have straight hair, and just want to polish the way it looks, but it doesn't actually "straighten" wavy or curly hair. As a matter of fact, when I finish, I have to go over it again with my round brush and hairdryer to get all the kinks this thing makes in my hair. It is just plain bad. I think that a lot of people who write reviews are excited with they get their product in the mail and run to the computer to validate that their thing is the best. Take it from me, I've had this thing for 2 years. I've used many irons, and this is the worst of them all.

Product Rating: 5 WOW..AMAZZING!!!!
Reviewer: Ashley from Ontario,Canada  Fri Aug 25 2006

WOW I could not wait to comment on this product! I just got it today and used it and WOW! I have always had VERY thick,wavy,long hair and up until now I have never been able to use or find a product that works SO WELL! and I have tryed MANY different products over the course of years and this product is simply incredible! It was very quick(took about 15-20mins max. to do my entire,middle of back length,wavy,thick hair),easy to use,did NOT dry out or fry my hair what-so-ever! Took about 10 mins. to get to the temperature I wanted it at(didn't even have to turn full blast). I am shocked and amazzed that after so much bad luck with different products that this one worked so well!! I would DEFFINITLY recomend THIS hair straightner to ANYONE with thick,wavy hair that has never been able to find another product elsewhere!!!!!!

Product Rating: 2 Hate it.
Reviewer: Jenna from Miami  Sat Aug 19 2006

I bought this model over a year ago. It doesn't live up to its expectations. Stay away. I'm on this site right now to finally replace it.

Product Rating: 4 Love It!
Reviewer: Christine from San Francisco, California  Fri Aug 04 2006

This straighter is great! It gets really hot and works really, really well. I have thick, course hair and it straightens and smooths it out and it lasts for days. The only annoying thing is sometimes my hair gets caught in it and it tears pieces of my hair out if Im not careful, but I think that may be the case with most straightners. Also, the tempature gage is on the inside so sometimes if youre not paying attention it will slip into a different temp. Oh and also, mine broke only a couple months after owning it for no reason but Folica.com was super great about taking it back and promptly getting me a new one. So overall, I say get this straightner I love it, and my friends have gone out and gotten their own after using mine!

Product Rating: 2 It's ok but there's better
Reviewer: Sharon   Wed Jul 19 2006

I have very very curly hair, and when I used it, it took a bit longer than my other straightening irons. It's hard to get into tiny spots with the wider plates. If you have wavy hair I would recomened it, but definitly not with curly hair like mine!

Product Rating: 2 Not for the curly hair..
Reviewer: Paula from Toronto , Ontario  Mon Jun 05 2006

This product is the best for wavy , already straight hair.Dont keep your hopes up if your curly hair , the paint starts chipping off the "ceramic" , and becomes easily dirty. Along with that its so haeavy weighted , weighing down your hand whne your starightening your hair and its wideness doesnt let you get close to the roots..

wouldnt recommend it.

Product Rating: 5 ohh so easy
Reviewer: becky from santa cruz  Mon Jun 05 2006

This flat iron for a 2 n a halfer is easy to hold and get to those awkward places behind ya. It also heats up really fast and works like a champ. I had bought a wigo about a year ago and the thing never worked well. Recently I tried a friends Babyliss and I couldn't believe how easy it could be to straighten my hair. So I did it and bought one similar to hers (her's is an older style which worked great but was too big and difficult to hold) and I love it! My hair looks sleek and as if it were just done in the salon everytime! Yeaha!

Product Rating: 4 suprised on how well it worked
Reviewer: Amanda-Theresa from New Jersey  Sat Jun 03 2006

I have alot of curly thick hair. I just got this straightener and am very suprised on how well it worked. It does have a strong smell but I think it's worth it. It heated up quickly and really did the job.

Product Rating: 5 The Best One Out There!!
Reviewer: Denise from Moncton, New Brunswick - Canada  Tue May 30 2006

BaByliss Professional Ceramic Hair Straightening Iron Is The Best One Out There! I Have Long Thick Hair And Always Had A Hard Time Finding A Straightner That Would Leave The Results I was Looking For. Many Other Products Out There Would Take Me Over An Hour Sometimes Just To Get My Hair Done, Now This One Only Takes Half Of My Time To Do And My Hair Shines And Is Smooth. Before I Did Not Know What It Was Like To Have Smooth, Silky Thin Hair And Now I Do. I Am So Happy That I Found This Product!

Product Rating: 5 Loved it!
Reviewer: Erica   Sun May 28 2006

I bought this product about 5 years ago and it lasted until today... I think that it was a great purchase and definetly worth the money because it lasted long and worked beautifully on my wild and crazy curly/frizzy hair!

Product Rating: 3 OK...Don't waste your money.
Reviewer: Melissa from New York  Mon May 22 2006

I have really curly hair and this doesn't really straighten well. It takes so long, I then used Chi and it worked excellent. A little bit more money but so worth it! If you have thinner and straighter hair this probably work. But if your like me, don't waste your money on this
