BaByliss Curl Secret Optimum C1600E

For lovers of experiments

The automatic curling iron from the well-known brand BaByliss, which is known for its quality professional styling tools, is a device with a straight 25mm cylinder. This is the most common diameter, which is suitable for both short and long hair, resulting in more natural curls. At the same time, the model gives room for experimentation, allowing you to set settings for different density and shape of curls. So, this is affected by the duration of the curl (8, 10 and 12 seconds) and temperature (from 180 to 230 degrees). The latter indicator is also selected according to the type of hair. In addition, for a more natural effect, the device allows you to choose the direction of movement — left, right or alternately.

All settings are shown on the display. However there is quite a lot of information on it, so at first it is better to use the instructions to understand what's what. But the buttons for switching modes are slightly recessed into the case, which should prevent accidental pressing.

gentle care

In order for the perm to be not only effective, but also gentle on the hair, the manufacturer chose ceramics as the material for covering the heating element. In general, this is the most popular solution, since ceramic is quite strong, provides uniform heating and good glide due to its smoothness. And if we add an ionization system to it, we get not overdried hair that retains its natural moisture and shine. Moreover, the curls become softer, look well-groomed and do not electrify, thus not violating the integrity of the hairstyle. By the way, the model beeps after a predetermined time or if the strand is tangled.

practical side

Since BaByliss specializes in professional equipment, its devices are often equipped with everything necessary for comfortable work. An auto curling iron is a device in itself that makes life much easier for any woman, but it can also be more convenient if you add a long (2.5 metres) cord with a rotating base and an auto-off system that will protect the device from overheating.
