This is my wifes reaction to the BABYLISS PRO BAB2590:

After waiting, researching and keeping an eye on the different ceramic irons, I finally chose Babyliss. For a long time I wanted the TURBO CHI but the prices were still outrageous. Sure it might live up to all the hype but it is still way up there in pricing. Well after a few months of searching finally I found the BABYLISS PRO BAB2590 and it is fabulous! I have had an older Professional Luxor and sure it works but didn't quite get hot fast enough. I have very curly hair and don't care to spend a long time in getting it all straightened. The first time I used BABYLISS....OMG...IT HEATED IMMEDIATELY & IT STRAIGHTED IT RIGHT AWAY. I DID NOT BLOW DRY FIRST EITHER. My niece loved it as well and is asking for one for Christmas. All I can say is THANK YOU BABYLISS!!!!

This is a good product. It heats up fast, completely hot in less than 1 minute. It is a nice size for medium to long length hair. The removeable comb feature is actually usefull.

Overall, this is an excellent real ceramic hair straightener for a great price.

My girls love this straightener. It gets their hair straight in half the time of others. It also doesn't catch their hair in the plate. Would recommend this product to anyone.

Honest reviews on BaByliss Pro BAB2590 Porcelain Ceramic Straightening Iron

I love this product! I have fine, curly, dull hair. A friend suggested I use a straightening iron to both tame friz and add shine. I priced them locally and this same brand runs over $100 so I was really happy to find Babyliss on Amazon. Now my hair is smooth, soft and sleek. Get this iron it really works.

This is a decent straightener. I was using the Conair 2" Ceramic Straightener before (which I loved) but it broke after 4 years of use. They no longer make that model anymore so I was looking for a similar straightener with a detachable comb.

This one pretty much gets the job done. Here's a summary of my experience with it. For the record, I have medium thick hair about shoulder length and a LOT of it.

HEAT: It heats up fast...about 1-2 minutes. The heat, however, doesn't seem to stay constant. Sometimes while using it, I notice that it might get a little cooler only to heat up again. Still, it's not a large drop in temperature and the only thing I have to do is go over that portion of hair again. It doesn't get as hot as my Conair one did so I typically have to set it to one of the highest settings.

GLIDE: The porcelain ceramic is excellent. It's VERY smooth. It never catches my hair. No complaints here.

COMB: The comb is good. Sometimes it pulls my hair out but that's probably because it's already slightly tangled. All combs do pull some hair out, I guess. At first glance, the comb seemed to small to make a difference in my thick hair but after trying it, it combed through perfectly.

TEXTURE: My hair feels kind of rough before hand but the straightener definitely makes it smoother. But it's not as smooth as I would like it to be. This damages my hair a lot more easily than other straighteners. Also, when I run it through certain sections of my hair (i.e. bangs), it leaves them looking frizzy.

BOTTOM LINE: It's decent for the price you pay. My experience with it definitely hasn't been as AMAZING as other people's have been. But I'm still using it and will probably continue to do so until it breaks. After that, however, I think I'll look for another straightener instead of purchasing this one again.
