The BabylissPro “Nano Nano” Mini Flat Iron is a great flat iron and just the perfect size for everyone. This hairstyling tool can be toted along on a quick weekend getaway or other travels where you’re limited on luggage space or maybe when when you just don’t feel like carrying around your larger hair straightener.  It is also perfect for shorter hairstyles that don’t really work so well with standard 1″ or 2″ hair straightener.  It still offers great professional quality allowing you to achieve the ultimate straight styles.  This flat iron helps keep your hair away from those fly-aways allowing you to get closer to your scalp than others and evening your hair throughout with ease. The titanium-ceramic plates heat up to 430 degrees and heat up fairly quickly. Only 6″ long and 1/2″ wide, this mini nano can slipped into a purse, makeup case or tote bag for easy traveling! MySalonTools.com sells the BABNT3050 version for only $29.99 and is not to be confused with the BabylissPro CT3050 model which is the cheaper version.  Can’t beat a solid performing travel size flat iron for $30.00! Definitely worth the price and works on all hair types so do not mistaken it’s ability to do the job!

Curlier hair were more popular in the 1980’s but during the mid-late 1990’s and through to the 2000’s the trend has changed considerably. I was always unsatisfied with my curly hair and managing them was also a problem. I used to envy my friends who had smooth silky hair. In short, i was planning to change the style of my hair which always looked messy and curly. So,  i made up my mind to straighten my hair with a hair straightener (hair iron) on regular basis so that i may come out of my curly hair complex.

Buying and choosing a hair straightener sounds too easy but in fact it is one of the most difficult things.

Actually i came to know that hair straightener is the best hair straightening method available and if used properly it does not cause any damage to the hair or scalp, it does not cost a lot (i paid $99 for my Babyliss Pro Diamond Titanium Professional Iron); it is easy to use and provides the desired outcome in very little time.

A friend of mine was kind enough to guide me with the basic things i must see before i purchase a hair straightener. The things to look for are:

1. Hair straightener must have ceramic plates which does not damage the hair. But later i found (by browsing the net) that Titanium is another option to consider. Titanium plates offer even heat distribution as well. Titanium plates are also much more durable under high temperatures than the ceramic options. They also less chance to scratch easily than ceramic flat irons, providing you a longer life. Another type is Tourmaline plates which are the newest, and therefore most expensive, type of hair straightening product.

2. It should be light weight.

3. It should get heated up quickly (taking long time to get heated is not good).

So, now coming to the topic of How to use it. Lets discuss a little bit about it.

Before you use it on your hair, make sure they are dry. Some women make this mistake of trying to straighten their hair while they are still wet, in an effort to dry their hair while they are straightening it. This will absolutely not work as the hair will still stay a bit damp and the objective of having straight hair will not be achieved. Best way to use it is to wash your hair first, blow dry it and then use your Hair Straightener. Caution is needed as straightening your hair every day may make them brittle. Care must also be taken not to over heat the straightener as this may burn hair.

Although family and friends do guide before we purchase some personal use electronic items, internet should always be searched and reviews of user read carefully as it helps a lot in decision making. Like i came to know that not all type of hair straighteners are for all types of hair by reading about it on one beauty forum. They say that “Heavy duty hair straighteners should be used for those with longer hair, and hair straighteners with higher temperature settings should be used for those who have thick hair.”

So, Now i can definitely say with confidence that I am happy with my hair now as at last i got the Perfect Iron For My Hair.

Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium is a top of the line straightening iron. Because it heats quickly to the perfect temperature, it is the safest iron, causing the least amount of damage to hair than any other type of straightening iron (including Tourmaline or Ceramic).  It heats to 450 degrees, making it the quickest, most effective iron available.

In addition, the Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium is easy to control. It brings a smooth, shiny overall finish to any many types of hair. If you have kinky ringlets, this product will get hot enough to straighten it. If you have frizzy, untamable hair, this straightening iron will leave it feeling oh so silky soft and beautiful! Whatever you hairstyle, you are sure love running your fingers through your locks after you have tried out this new and exciting product!

There is a thermometer that controls the temperature settings so you can adjust the temperature according to what your needs are. The Titanium use of heating is gentle, yet “gets the job done” quite effectively. It is even recommended for using it to straighten and soften damaged, brittle and fine hair, so you can be assured that this titanium straightening iron will act gently and protectively on your hair. I believe this is one of the best hair straighteners for the money.

BABNT2091 Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium 1 1/4″ is the best we have found. We have brought in sample after sample imported from factories throughout the world and test marketed them with the stylists we work with. We were looking for an easy to maneuver iron that could heat quickly and hot enough to smooth tight kinky curls of African heritage hair in one pass. But we also wanted an iron with a thermostat that could smooth frizzy, fine, damaged European heritage hair and leave it soft, shiny and smooth. This iron can do it. When you top this off with a 4 year warranty… what could be better? If you have been looking for a ceramic or tourmaline straightening iron, the Nano Titanium is better. Titanium gives a faster heat transfer which causes less damage to the hair since there is a shorter exposure to the harmful heat levels.

Growing up with curly and wavy hair drove me mad- while everyone else loves the way curly/wavy (and in many instances, unmanageable) hair looks, we always want something we don’t necessarily have. 

I have purchased over 7 different hair straighteners over the years, wanting to get that salon look without having to pay over $200 for a salon flat iron, that I’d likely burn my fingers and hair off whilst ironing it.  After going to my salon stylist, she informed me that I didn’t need to spend a ton of money on a great straightener and suggested the new Babyliss Professional Flat Iron.  I went out immediately and logged online to look for a good Babyliss Pro Iron and found the cutest iron ever- the Babyliss Pro Diamond Titanium Professional Iron.

I ordered it immediately from MySalonTools.com and got it within a week. I’ve had it for over 6 months now and I swear by it.  This iron is outstanding.   The specs say it heats up to 450 degrees, and while it does get incredibly hot, it is not “burn your hands off” hot, where you want to avoid touching the barrel iron end.  I would avoid touching the ceramic plates (obviously!!!).  These plates heat evenly, from what I can tell, and I never have that issue where my hair gets heated unevenly and then gets stuck to the iron resulting in “crimped” hair without the crimper or intent to crimp! It also never leaves that “my hair is fried” feel or look- my hair is always shiny after ironing with this iron, and I feel as though I walked out of the salon.

I also never have that “burning” hair product smell off of this straightener, whereas when I’ve bought others it emits this burned hair smell that lingers in your bathroom/bedroom for ages.  This is easy to clean and also comes with its own storage case, which is a DEFINITE plus.  The size of the iron is excellent- narrow iron and leaves me enough room to get close to my scalp without burning it.  The size and case are an awesome combination when travelling as well, as the size doesn’t result in a heavy object for suitcases and fit conveniently in my carryon bag.

Something I just adore about this product is the design.  Along the base handle are a series of rows of Swarovski crystals.  This addition is incredibly cute and fashionable and comes in pink as well.  The sales of the pink irons result in a large donation from Babyliss towards breast cancer research, which is a great cause and use of money.  The price of the product is a great deal less than salon irons and results in the same (if not better!) result as an hour in your stylist’s chair.   In addition to the convenient and stylish case it comes in, the iron also comes with useful combs to ensure the full-flat smooth look of your heated hair. I would recommend BabylissPro’s Titanium Diamond Professional Iron to all women with all different hair types, as it works wonders on my curly/wavy hair and is great for a touch up on already straight hair.
