BaByliss PRO Titanium Tourmaline BAB2174TTE

32 mm for voluminous curls

BaByliss, a well-known brand of professional hair care equipment, offers a good French quality curling iron at a reasonable price, which can be used both at home and in salons. Its diameter is 32 mm, it is more suitable for creating voluminous curls and soft curls on long and medium hair, you can also make a base for hairstyles or twist the tips and bangs. The strand is fixed with a clip and glides smoothly over the coating without overheating. If desired, if you do not want creases, you can not use the clip, simply winding the curl over it. By the way, according to reviews, in this case, the curls keep their shape even longer.

The model uses a titanium tourmaline coating that is very durable, provides uniform and constant heat distribution for optimal results, and reduces static charge on the hair, so that it does not become electrified and does not frizz.

30 temperature settings

To work with different types of hair, as many as 30 temperature modes are provided — from 135 to 200 degrees. It is advised to turn on a low temperature for fine hair, choose a higher temperature for thick, curly and difficult to style. However the issue with the control is not fully thought out: on the wheel for adjustment, not the temperature is indicated, but the serial number of the mode. For example, 1 – 5 mode is 135 – 140 degrees, 10 – 15 – 145 – 155 °, 25 – 30 – 185 – 200 degrees. At first, you can’t do without instructions, but over time you will select and remember the optimal mode for yourself. As for hairdressers who use a curling iron for work, it is more difficult for them, they will have to remember the designations or keep documentation at hand. In addition, during curling, the wheel can easily be touched by hand and knock down the settings by increasing or decreasing the temperature. The same story with the on and off buttons.

Otherwise, the manufacturer took care of comfortable use: the surface heats up in 60 seconds, after 72 minutes the device automatically turns off, the retractable metal stand allows you to put the hot device on any surface, the tip does not heat up, and the cord is quite long (2.7 m) and does not twist due to the rotating hinge. The only thing missing is a hanging loop as there is no storage case included.
