The maximum setting it can reach is 450☏, but I’ve noticed that the iron gets extremely hot.

However, the dial is only numbered from 1-20 with no actual corresponding temperature. This straightener heats up really fast and has 20 heat settings, which can be selected by a rotating dial. The tourmaline plates and nano ceramic heater provide even heat distribution and generate negative ions for smooth results. It has plates that extend downward along the side of the iron to give the curved surface. It is also available in 2 different plate sizes, 1” and 1 ½”. This Andis Curved Edge Flat Iron wins points straight away for the variety it has in color options – black, black and gold, and red and gold. Both plates fit together in a shallow “C” or crescent moon shape when pressed closed. You can accidentally change the heat setting with your hand or fingers if you’re not paying attention.Īnother version of this appliance is the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium C-Styler, where the plates don’t extend sideways over the edge, but are curved so that one is convex and the other is concave. The power button is also placed a little inconveniently – right in the middle of the side – and it is a slider instead of a button which you can hold down and press. It would be pretty unbeatable if it had more temperature options, but alas. However, it has only three fixed heat settings – 340☏, 400☏ and 450°. While the plates on this tool get really hot, the tip remains cool, and it also has a rubber thumb rest which makes it really convenient to hold the iron. Who doesn’t love a long-lasting product, right? This means that the plates are stronger and smoother, and the tool is more resistant and durable. This iron has innovative “Sol-Gel Technology” – basically a process that takes minute particles of titanium and ceramic, and converts them from liquid to solid, thus providing a high concentration of these materials. Its plates are composed of titanium and ceramic, resulting in a powerful combination of intense and uniform heating.

The BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium U Styler has 2 separate types of plates – the regular flat plates, and curved side plates on one side. BaByliss is a well known brand for hair styling tools, and first up we’ll be discussing its U Styler.
