BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Straightening Iron

Gina K.HairMedium BrownNormal HairOily HairQuality Straightener - Great Results So Far!I got my BaByliss flat iron 2 months ago and so far I really like it! It straightens well and eliminates frizz.
About my hair: quite long - almost to my waist; medium texture - not too fine or too thick; brown; naturally wavy.
Good for long hair, even with narrow plates:
I was worried that the 1 1/4" plates would be too thin for longer hair, adding lots of time to straightening. However, since these plates are longer, I'm still able to straighten in about 10 minutes, which is as quickly as I could with my previous one that had 2 1/2" plates. The narrow plates are also nice because I have bangs.
Doesn't pull my hair:
I find it very smooth; the plates clamp down evenly and it glides down my hair. So far I haven't noticed any little nooks or corners that catch and rip out my hair.
Can curl - takes some getting used to:
I have used it to curl my hair a few times. It looks nice but it does leave little kinks down some of the strands. I'm not sure if this is because the edges are too squared, or if I just need more practice, since I'm new at it.
Heating time, Construction, and button placement:
It takes very little time to heat up (< 1 min). I usually set it on the 340 degree setting (the 2nd of 5 temp settings). The only negative comment I have is that, depending on how you hold it, you can inadvertently push the button and shut it off or change the temp, so I have to check it every so often to make sure it's on and on the right temp. It feels like very solid construction and a quality product. The outside gets warm but it doesn't get so hot that it burns you or you can't touch it.
Compared to CHI:
My sister just got a Chi and when she recently used my BaByliss she said she liked mine a lot better. She told me that it glided down her hair much more smoothly and it straightened it quickly. She wanted to trade!
Hair is still healthy:
Some commenters said it fried their hair. I'd respond that you either need to turn it down or invest in a good heat protectant spray, or both. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but frying your hair is more about the heat itself than which straightener you have, and yes, this one can go up to a very high temp. I generally use a heat spray but not always. I've been using it for almost 2 months and my hair is still healthy.
I know this review is long but it contains many of the questions I had when I was searching. I hope it was helpful! Good luck!posted This weekLink to this post -

SophiaHairMedium BrownDidn't Last!!I do not recommend this product. An hour after straightening my hair perfectly, it curled and flipped out. I tried hairsprays and different products for it to stay, but it just wouldn't stay put.posted Last weekLink to this post

KarenHudson, NHHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairStill The Best 5 Years Later!I purchased this straightener about 5 years ago. I have medium textured curly/frizzy hair which is colored and highlighted. I use the iron almost daily on the second highest setting. Sometimes I use a silicone product and sometimes I don't. I get my hair trimmed every few months. I have never had a problem with damaged hair with this straightener. I get a fair amount of compliments on my silky-smoothe, shiny hair.
My college-aged daughter would always come home and rave about how much better my straightener was than hers. So I bought her one this past Christmas from Folica.
Don't know what I'd do without this straightener. I couldn't be more pleased with it!posted Jan 21, 2012Link to this post -

ArianeHairDark BrownOily HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThe Best I've HadI've had this flat iron for a year now and it's definitely lasting longer than I expected! I've always had an issue with flat irons and have to replace one every year because it stops working. I've had the CHI which was decent and have also had the Remington. The CHI stopped working after two years I had to replace the Remington twice in one year. After the second replacement, I got this flat iron. The plates are smooth along with the edges so there isn't so much snagging when curling or hair coming out because it got stuck. Also, with my hair, I don't have to put any products in. I just blow dry it and then straighten it and it comes out straight and shiny but most importantly looks healthy. The only issue I had with this flat iron was that it straightened my natural curl out (but that's my fault). I have really thick, curly hair and after using the flat iron ALL summer, my curl was gone by August. It's coming back slowly but surely but I definitely recommend using this flat iron in moderation because it does its job! Besides that, this is the BEST flat iron I've ever used. Even though it costs more than most, it's worth every penny and what makes this flat iron even better, is the 4 year warranty that comes with it!!! Definitely recommend this flat iron!!!posted Jan 5, 2012Link to this post

PhoenixOrange County, CAHairAuburnThick or Coarse HairI Expected Better!!I usually dont write reviews, but I felt like I should post on this one, because I read so many good reviews about it, and ended up being a little dissapointed.. I have extremely long, VERY thick, wavy hair, and before I was using a HAI, wich worked fairly well, but i was on the search for something better as usual. After my first day using the babybliss i loved it, but after 2 weeks i found that my hair was dryer than usual. When i used it at 410 degrees, it smelled like burnt hair and looked a little dry, so i went down to 375, but that didnt seem to be hot enough. It bugged me that there wasnt a temperature in between!!! So, I decided to take it back (since i didnt feel it was worth 160 dollars), and ended up buying the CROC infared instead. and let me tell you, that flat iron is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!! My hair has never looked so healthy and stick straight! Plus it reduces my straightening time in half- you only have to pass over a section ONE TIME. The babybliss took 2 or 3, not to mention it left my ends a little fried. the croc does the COMPLETE OPPOSITE!!! go buy that one instead TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!! its unbelievable!posted Jan 3, 2012Link to this post
