lulu97 long term transitioner here. I purchased the Babyliss Pro steam flat iron last year and have used it about 3 times so far, one of which was with a QOD Treatment. Here's my assessment thus far
Likes
- retractable combs on the plates don't snag the hair
- extra long cord
- 2 water reservoirs
- gets my hair silky straight without as high of heat I've had to use before for the same results.
- my hair doesn't poof right after using it....but maybe that's products too (?????)
- temperature dial
Dislikes
- wish the combs were a little longer..,but then it'd probably snag your hair so oh well. I still use the chase method with one of those special combs.
- temperature gauge is not intuitive. Ex: you have it on the 32 thinking that equals 320 but really it's 400. You have to read the manual to understand the gauge.
Overall I like it better than my previous iron since I don't have to use 450 heat to get smooth results. I generally use it between the 350 and 375 setting.
The hair pic is from December of last year after a QOD treatment using the straightener at 375 degrees. There's no way, even with QOD, I could've gotten then same results at the same temp with my previous iron.
