If flat-irons were Quidditich broom sticks, the Babyliss Pro would definitely be the flat-iron equivalent of the Nimbus 2000. In a tiny way, the Babyliss Pro has actually changed my life by giving me the confidence in my ability to style my hair on my own.
A few weeks ago, I went into a store specializing in beauty products in desperate need of a new flat iron. I hadn’t purchased one in over ten years and had blamed my inability to straighten my hair on my own ineptitude until a friend let me in on a little secret- my old flat iron sucked ass.
The Babyliss Pro was not my first choice- I wanted something cheaper and bought a cheaper model which fortunately malfunctioned a couple of weeks later. I went into the shop to exchange my flat iron for another one. I asked for a recommendation from the beauty experts at the store and was given the best advice I’ve received lately- go for the Bablyliss Pro, which currently comes with two irons for the price of one.
The woman stocking the shelves yelled out that I was going to be blown away by my new purchase and for once, I couldn’t wait to get home to style my unruly hair. I can’t emphasize enough how much I liked the Babyliss Pro. It was like a miracle. I was able to straighten my hair in minutes and my kinks and cowlicks had finally met their match. The iron heated up quickly and did its job almost without my help.
The Babyliss Pro is titanium and comes with a DVD full of helpful styling tips. According to both my hairdresser and my DVD, flat irons are the new preferred method for both curling your hair and straightening your hair. The Babyliss I have is curved, which is supposed to make it more versatile in terms of the number of hairstyles it make. My hair is not quite right for some of the styles given in the DVD, but if I had a different hair cut, I would definitely try out some new do’s.
Although I am on a tight budget, I justified the higher expense for the iron because it has a four year warranty and because it will save me money on getting my hair done for weddings and other events when I need my hair to look better.
