Babyliss PRO Nano Titanium Pink Breast Cancer Edition

Nano Titanium maintains and evenly distributes ultra-high heat. Yields maximum far-infrared heat for gentle styling. Light weight and smooth glide reduce time and fatigue. Ryton housing resists ultra-high heat.

Sol-Gel Technology delivers higher concentrated, nano particles of titanium and ceramic plates that are 37% hard, less porous and 22% smoother than conventional coatings. Longer lasting, chip/chemical resistant and gentler on hair.



I bought this for the U-styler, and let me say it was no where near worth the $99 I paid. The U-styler does not work the way the video claims it does, and the video that comes with it is NOT helpful. I tried a number of times to get "wavy" hair as the video shows and it just looked like a bad crimping job. It curls decently, but I have a Babyliss curling iron, so there was no need for me to keep a $99 product just for curling.

I was not impressed with the straightener either. I again have a Babyliss straightener (the PRO Porcelain Ceramic BABP2555, which I LOVE!) and that works way better. The Nano does not have a heat setting option, it is just always on 450, which is way too hot and damaging for many hair types. Over all, just not worth the money. Buy a good Babyliss straightener 1 inch curling iron instead and save some money.

After several years of using and loving the Chi, it finally gave out and I needed a new flat iron. I spent a few hours researching flat irons online and in stores to find out what had changed over the years. I talked with my hair stylist, who used the Babyliss PRO Nano Titanium and loves that it heats up to 400+ degrees with options for lower settings and works great on her client's hair, including mine.

Then she told me about the U-Styler that her coworker used. I was intrigued by the idea of a flat iron that could straighten my thick, natually curly hair but also add a bit of curl and style as I often try to use a flat iron to do this anyway. It does a nice job of adding a little curl to my ends. Sometimes I use the U-Styler exclusively for both flat ironing and style. When I saw this pairing, I couldn't resist asking for it as a Christmas gift from my husband.

I also like the pink color and that this is the breast cancer edition. So far, I like the pair of irons very much. I think it is a great deal! It is working as well as the Chi did for about the same price but with the bonus of the U-styler, so I am very happy with this purchase. Excellent value.
