Babyliss Pro Porcelain Ceramics Curling Iron
After reading so much about Ceramic curling Iron — I finally had to give it a try. I started with the Revlon Ceramic Curling Iron ( just did NOT like it at all)- I decided to bite the bullet and shell out for a Professional one ( babyliss Pro). I did my research and seems like the Babyliss Pro ceramics series got the best rating over Hot Tool’s ceramic series (the purple ones, NOT the gold series).
I bought a 1 1/2″ curling iron to begin -and since it was supposed to get really HOT (at 200W) I started out at setting 16 — and was TRULY disappointed. It did curl my (asian coarse) hair but the curl lasted like 10 mins. I was almost tempted to RETURN IT ! I’m glad that I didn’t because I tried it multiple time, each time slowly increasing the setting. My number was 24 (there is a total of 30 setting)! It’s hot enough to curl and the curls lasted the whole day — I normally only use only heat protectant with no mousse or gel or hairspray. So, my advise to all the 1st time Babyliss user would be to either TURN IT UP or slowly dial up to find a number that’s perfect for your hair
My normal curling iron is the Conair Instant Heat, which I LOVE but I have to say using the Babyliss Pro Ceramic curling iron — my hair does feel a LOT softer and I have less frizz Yes, I would buy babyliss again, I’m waiting for my order of the 3/4″ & 1 ” curling iron to arrive

Could stand to be just a little hotter
I have the 5/8″ barrel version of this and I love it. I’ve compared it to a Vidal Sassoon and a Remington (plugged them in and turned them all on at once). While this one is the slowest to heat (by about 30 seconds), the curls I make with this one are curlier and last longer. The other two made my hair mainly straight with a little flip at the end and they fell out straight within an hour. Since I had used all three on my head at once, it looked pretty silly with some parts being still curly and some not!

Anyway, if you can spare the extra 30 seconds to heat up, I recommend this, but I do have to hold it in my hair longer to make sure I get the curl. (I hold it until a finger placed on the outside of the hair on the barrel begins to be uncomfortably hot.)

One of the best curling irons out there!
One of the best curling irons out there….really! I have another BaByliss iron and I have no complaints! If you have coarse or Asian hair, this is one of the only irons that can give you the heat you need!
