This is a curling iron/wand for anyone who wants to create curls or waves with a heat tool — despite this listing's 'Flat Iron' product-type category, it is not a flat iron and does not straighten hair. It suits users comfortable operating a heat styling tool at home or in a salon, and its nano-titanium/ceramic barrel construction is aimed at people who want more consistent heat retention than a barrel prone to hot spots.

It is not a straightening tool, and because heat tools like this can damage fine, fragile, or heavily color-treated hair without protection, it's best suited to hair that can tolerate regular hot-tool styling with a heat protectant.

What sets this apart from a basic ceramic iron is the nano-titanium barrel built through BaBylissPRO's Sol-Gel process — the brand states this makes the barrel surface both stronger and smoother than a standard barrel, intended to translate into more even heat and a smoother pass through each section with less snagging than a rougher-coated iron.

Plug in the iron and let it fully heat before styling. Section clean, dry hair (protected with a heat protectant if it's fine, damaged, or color-treated) and clip away the hair you're not working with. Take a section about 1–2 inches wide, hold near the cool tip, and wrap the strand around the barrel — starting close to the scalp for curl from root to end, or at mid-shaft if you only want the ends to curl. Hold for a few seconds: smaller sections and a shorter hold give tighter curls, while larger sections and a slightly longer hold give looser waves. Release and let the curl cool before combing out or separating with your fingers. Turn the iron off and unplug it when finished, and let the barrel cool completely before putting it away.

Pros:

• Nano-titanium and ceramic barrel built with BaBylissPRO's Sol-Gel process, which the brand states is more durable and smoother-gliding than a standard barrel
• Cool tip for safer handling while wrapping hair
• Extra-long, heavy-duty swivel cord reduces tangling while working around the head

Cons:

• Curls hair only — it will not straighten hair, despite this listing's flat iron category
• Results depend heavily on wrap technique and section size, so it takes some practice for consistent curls
• High-heat styling tools like this call for a heat protectant on fine, damaged, or color-treated hair
