The BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron creates straight results that last long. Nano titanium is an exceptional heat conductor. It maintains consistent, high temperatures while emitting negative ions in their most beneficial form. This means faster straightening, shine and quickly sealed hair shafts that lock-in natural moisture. The Pro Nano’s new 1 1/2” wide plates teamed with its extended 5” length make for quick styling, even if you have long or thick hair. Straighten wide sections of hair with the extra long plates, while the slim design makes it easy to reach your roots. This iron is great for curly hair. The powerful straightening from roots to tips means a beautiful style and healthy hair. When dividing the hair into sections for ironing, the smaller each section of hair, the straighter the result.

Please register your flat iron with babyliss to ensure full warranty coverage Directions To flat iron your hair: make sure your hair is dry, and then divide it into medium-sized or wide sections. Adjust the temperature on the iron using the temperature dial. (Use lower temperatures for fine or thin hair, higher temperatures for thick or coarse hair. We recommend keeping it between 180 and 350 degrees.) Apply a heat protectantt to the section, clasp the flat iron plates at your roots and then glide down your hair to the ends. Repeat if necessary. Move onto the next section and continue until all of your hair is silky smooth.
