BaBylissPRONano Titanium Ionic Hair Straightener, Professional Flat Iron For All Hair Types

This is long but important. I have Very thick, African American hair (bra strap length, natural/no perm etc) I'm going to preface this by saying this review is only for my sisters in struggle - sisters with hair that takes an hour to blow dry level thick... hair that you take to a Dominican salon and wait in line for an hour and a half STANDING UP when you feel like getting a press because you're arms are not strong enough to do your own hair plus you know no one else can ever *quite* get the roots right... Sisters whose momma's might've disregarded their life safety by heating up an actual hot iron comb on the stove burner in order to lay your edges on Sundays and thus you are simultaneously immune to heat in the scalp area but also traumatized, thus you straighten your hair only occasionally and with extreme caution. This review is for YOU my friend.Context: In my youth I lived in New York and went to the local Dominican salon every Saturday because I didn't know what to do with my hair and I worked in the type of places where natural hair was frowned upon. Eventually I fixed my life and moved to California where I no longer bear the burden of EFFs for white tears and do what I want when I want and how I want. This means that my hair is a big, curly Glory most of the time and I only straighten it about once every 2 months when I want to change the game. This is important because I don't know the effects of this iron for every day use.ANYWAY, I used to have a chi and that was turrible. TURRIBLE. It was $100 and the plates snagged my hair and weren't log enough to be useful. I could only do less than 1/2" sections at a time and each piece needed like 3 runs be user the pressure was also turrible resulting in a minimum 2 hr ordeal post blow dry (note: if you're reading this like "what that's crazy my hair only takes 45 minutes" again... This review ain't for you) . Honestly it might as well have been a gold painted golden hot curling iron from 1984 for all it did. Plus it never got my roots right and my ends were always trash.ENTER THIS BLESSING. A legit game changer. The silkiness... The smoothness... I felt like Beyoncé circa crazy in love. I've never written an Amazon review in my life but the trap gawds are working thru me right now- gonna go head and break it down:- heat settings the 375/410 degrees is THE BIDNESS. 375 on edges and small pieces 410 on the big chunks - what this means is my press took 45 MINUTES.... FORTY FIVE MINUTES. And if I was even remotely good at flipping the ends that would've been faster (practice makes perfect but I recommend getting a heat glove if you're awkward as I am). I was worried about going too hot just cuz I could but I didn't even feel the need to get to 450- the plates were long and strong- NOoo snagging!! Smoothe plates, hair never got stuck, no tears for my fallen end pieces. For those commenters complaining that the plates don't close... As a thickly thickum I'll say this was not the case. Whatever the gap might be my hair was thick enough to fill it and the plates applied very even pressure.- if i could change anything, it would be the ability to lock the buttons... My errant awkward hands weren't great at avoiding thoseAnywho, This is joy and I love this inanimate object. That is all, make the right choice.

If you’re looking for a silk press look, this is the straightener you need! I have 4c hair and I only needed 2 passes to achieve that flat sleek look. I’m super happy with this purchase!

Works well.No issues.If you want this to curl your hair ( as I’ve seen it done in the hair salon) I would suggest buying a less wide iron.

The best hair straightener, it doesn't burn your hair and it's super good, it's my favorite.

Excelente calidad

Great, leave my hair soft and it last straight without freez until I wash my hair again. The difference from the chi I had to this one is really noticeable. Love it!

The plates are wide enough to do large sections and it doesn't catch on your hair as your run it over. Leaves hair shiny, but be careful of the heat settings they aren't labeled with temperature so it's easy to go overboard with the heat.

Le regale esta plancha a mi novia sin saber la calidad que tenía es excelente y me dice que no maltrata el cabello y el cabello le queda hermoso y liso sin duda unas de las mejores que a usado
