 Best thing ever, I am in LOVE! Mar 12, 2011
By DNSmith1212
I was trying to find a straightener that wasn't going to damage my hair or break my bank. This straightener is AMAZING!!! It got my hair straight with only one pass. It felt sooo soft and look soo shiny! This is what I have been searching for. I had a Chi and a Babyliss Titanium Pro before and they either burnt my hair or took forever to straighten. Not anymore! It used to take me 45 minutes or more to straighten my hair, now it only takes me 25 to 30. If you are an African American with thick natural hair this is a must have! My hair is medium length, natural, and really thick. People think I have a relaxer after using this, but I never use chemical on my hair. A++++

Best flat iron I've used in 9 years! Apr 08, 2010
By D. Slover
As a top hairstylist/make-up artist I want nothing but the best tools this industry has to offer. I have used some of the top brands for flat irons this one has been the best I've used in 9 years. I'm not one for writing reviews unless its something I feel strongly about so I just had to share my opinion! The Babyliss Pro TT products have not let me down yet!

 Babybliss vs Maxiglide Sep 02, 2011
By Dee Lee
"sucker to bargains"
I have been a faithful Maxiglide Hair Straightner user for over 4 years. As much as I love Maxiglide, with 2 broken hair irons & working on a tight budget, I'd finally had enough. Scanning through reviews here and Folica for something similar, BB seemed a good fit. It had almost the same features like steam & comb, a must have for me. The price here on Amazon sounded too good to be true for what I would normally pay for MG . Now that I have been using BB for over a month & if i were to break it down what got me hooked with Babybliss Vs Maxiglide;
very lightweight (MG is lot heavier on the hand)
glides over hair easily and doesn't pull hair with it (MG takes out a lot of hair )
finish styling my long hair halfway down my back under 15 mins (with MG it would take longer because it's heavier on the hand & i have to go over several times to perfect it)
ready in seconds, literally (MG flashes blue after a minute or so, not bad)
less split ends (had tons with MG,even with Biosilk)
shinier,smoother hair, lasts longer (frequent touch ups with MG)
retractable comb,constant & tolerable steam (MG needs to switch plates & push button for steam, which i accidentally push & burn myself)
easy to clean the plates,just wipe it down (MG comb plates gets messy with hair and stuff sticks to the root of the plate, i end up cleaning with a toothbrush)
costs much less $49.95 with Free S/H (MG is pricey! well over $80 plus shipping for XP model. need i say why I'm broke?)
As someone who's been using Maxiglide for a long time, I have to say I'm very impressed with BB, and would highly recommend. I haven't been able to find comparable reviews on the two, so I wanted do it myself for someone else. If you were wondering why I took away a star, it gets really hot in seconds, you could feel the heat on your palms with 20-25 setting. so there's always room for improvement.

love it. Nov 11, 2010
By PA
Just used my new steam flat iron. I love it. So FAST- 1 pass on my hair and it was straight- curls and waves gone. I have been using high quality flat irons for many years and so far this is the best. I am replacing the Titanium Nano that I purchased a year or so ago, because I thought it got too hot and the shiny plates were burning my hair, and had hair falling out as I used it. I only had 3 strands come out with this one. Used the steam ( which is optional use) and the the optional comb teeth on it- No pulling, no burning- soft and shiny AND NOT TOO flat. Have some body left in my hair- not plastered to my head.
I was worried with curly hair that instantly reacts to humidity that this steam flat iron would frizz my hair. Not so. Cord very long and swivels, iron comfortable in hand, Even comes with a silicon pad to rest the iron on in between passes- I love this, won't burn my counter and don;t have to hunt for something to protect it.
This is a great price, too. I am going to order one for my niece for the holidays and give my old, expensive babyliss titanium nano flat iron to Goodwill.
Give it a try. You won't be sorry. Arrived quickly too.

My new BFF Feb 28, 2011
By A. Reese
"addy"
Words cannot express how much I love this flat iron. After using flat irons that burned my hair, even with heat protection spray, I thought I would opt for more expensive ones. I looked around and BaByliss was recommened as well as Chi, but I thought I would try this brand because someone said it was a little easier on the hair. Also, someone else said to get nano titanium irons because theyre the new ceramic, and tourmaline is good for the hair, so I narrowed it down that way. I decided to go steam because it sounded interesting, though it also sounded counterproductive to me haha. I have African American 4c/4b mixed hair, so I thought it might make my hair frizzy, but on the contrary, my hair has never looked better! I love this flat iron because it moisturizes and it locks it in from the heat. I also like how the plates air long, so I can grab a lot of hair, and even in one pass they are straight. I consciously limit myself to one pass because I dont want to damage my hair, but even if I didnt, I wouldnt need the 2nd pass. The cord is really long, the water compartment loads easily, and all the buttons are well places so Im not turning anything on and off or moving things around. This flat iron can get very hot, but I only go up to 35 because thats all it takes for my thick unruly African American hair. Also, I use it without the steam for quick touch ups, which are really few and far between. So far, Ive only flat ironed my hair twice a week, because theyre not lying when they say with the steam irons, the process lasts 30% longer. I'm so happy with this flat iron, I dont see how the chi can do any better, but if I find it does, Id still recommend the steam irons, and specifically, this one!
