The controls are mounted on the handle, which interferes with the way you grip the blower. The blower is loud and does not feel any lighter than my $40 hair dryer. It is not not as easy to use as my old Solis.

I have been a faithful Maxiglide Hair Straightener user for over 4 years. As much as I love Maxiglide, with 2 broken hair irons & working on a tight budget, I'd finally had enough. Scanning through reviews here and Folica for something similar, BB seemed a good fit. It had almost the same features like steam & comb, a must have for me. The price here on Amazon sounded too good to be true for what I would normally pay for MG . Now that I have been using BB for over a month & if I were to break it down what got me hooked with Babybliss Vs Maxiglide;
very lightweight (MG is lot heavier on the hand)
glides over hair easily and doesn't pull hair with it (MG takes out a lot of hair )
finish styling my long hair halfway down my back under 15 mins (with MG it would take longer because it's heavier on the hand & i have to go over several times to perfect it)
ready in seconds, literally (MG flashes blue after a minute or so, not bad)
less split ends (had tons with MG,even with Biosilk)
shinier,smoother hair, lasts longer (frequent touch ups with MG)
retractable comb,constant & tolerable steam (MG needs to switch plates & push button for steam, which i accidentally push & burn myself)
water reservoir is enough for two uses ( with MG I would refill with every use not a bad feature though)
easy to clean the plates,just wipe it down (MG comb plates gets messy with hair and stuff sticks to the root of the plate, I end up cleaning with a toothbrush.)
costs much less $49.95 with Free S/H (MG is pricey! well over $100 plus shipping for XP model. need I say why I'm broke?)
The price on Amazon fluctuate often, I would watch it and buy it at the lowest price for more savings.
For someone who's been using Maxiglide for years, I have to say I'm very impressed with BB, and would highly recommend.
I haven't been able to find comparable reviews on the two, so I wanted do it myself for someone else. If you were wondering why I took away a star, it gets really hot in seconds, you could feel the heat on your palms with 20-25 setting. so there's always room for improvement.
UPDATE 11/24/12
While I'm still very happy with my purchase , I just want to clarify about the retractable COMB feature. If you're a Maxiglide user, you're probably used to a switchable comb plate with well defined teeth. Babybliss has a on/off switch which controls the retractable comb function. It does NOT have well defined teeth or narrow pointed teeth as Maxiglide would but rather a row of round edged
teeth running down middle of the plate. The lack of narrow pointed comb teeth has not been a big issue for me, I still love and use it on a regular basis.
UPDATE 06/25/13
I'm a girl blessed with frizz prone hair at the slightest chance of humidity and getting it to behave to my standards especially in texas summer is a challenge itself. I wash hair with any regular (inexpensive) shampoo and follow up with infusium 23 conditioner and let air dry overnight. I would do my hair next morning with BB and I can't believe it's the same hair from the day before. I swear by it. For all the girls who left nice comments, I am just happy to help, thank you.

I was trying to find a straightener that wasn't going to damage my hair or break my bank. This straightener is AMAZING!!! It got my hair straight with only one pass. It felt sooo soft and look soo shiny! This is what I have been searching for. I had a Chi and a Babyliss Titanium Pro before and they either burnt my hair or took forever to straighten. Not anymore! It used to take me 45 minutes or more to straighten my hair, now it only takes me 25 to 30. If you are an African American with thick natural hair this is a must have! My hair is medium length, natural, and really thick. People think I have a relaxer after using this, but I never use chemical on my hair. A++++Best Deals on BaByliss BABTT4073 Pro TT Tourmaline Titanium Steam Straightener
Baby the buck stops here. I have 4c afro kinky hair that doesn't even have a true curl pattern--more of a z pattern. I'm totally natural with about 7 inches of hair. When it's wet, it goes to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch, so major major shrinkage. So I don't speak lightly when I say this flatiron is the end all for me. I get results as good or better than the Dominican Salon, and that's no small feat. Plus I get the added bonus of retouching when I sweat from workouts or hot muggy Georgia days.Now for the negatives. Although I didn't experience the broken water chambers as some, I can say my chamber doesn't really empty. Babyliss provides a spare so I even swapped chambers just to be sure. If I want steam, I really just have to pump the inner button a few times each section of hair. The steam really does make a difference in my hair's pliability, but I don't always remember to use it for every section. I've used the iron ten different times without running out of water in the chamber. I know that's not good since the instructions indicate the chamber should empty in about 20 minutes on its own. If it were a big deal, I'd return it.
The coating seems to be peeling off one corner, and it seems a bit early for that. We will see if it affects the outcome, but for now I am so wowed by results. After people see my hair (or my daughter, niece or other recent client), they are slowly trying to adopt me as their new stylist. Funny.
For max results with tightly curled or kinky hair, I use a double-sided brush (think alligator brush--on Amazon it's the Scalpmaster ceramic thermal hair straightener) that clamps down on the hair. After detangling a small section, I clamp the alligator brush to add tension with my non-dominant hand, then chase the brush all the way down the strand with the flatiron, keeping tension all the way down. This helps you avoid kinky or frizzy ends that are resistant to straighten. One to two passes on each section is more than enough. Happy purchasing!

As a top hairstylist/make-up artist I want nothing but the best tools this industry has to offer. I have used some of the top brands for flat irons this one has been the best I've used in 9 years. I'm not one for writing reviews unless its something I feel strongly about so I just had to share my opinion! The Babyliss Pro TT products have not let me down yet!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for BaByliss BABTT4073 Pro TT Tourmaline Titanium Steam Straightener
Words cannot express how much I love this flat iron. After using flat irons that burned my hair, even with heat protection spray, I thought I would opt for more expensive ones. I looked around and BaByliss was recommened as well as Chi, but I thought I would try this brand because someone said it was a little easier on the hair. Also, someone else said to get nano titanium irons because theyre the new ceramic, and tourmaline is good for the hair, so I narrowed it down that way. I decided to go steam because it sounded interesting, though it also sounded counterproductive to me haha. I have African American 4c/4b mixed hair, so I thought it might make my hair frizzy, but on the contrary, my hair has never looked better! I love this flat iron because it moisturizes and it locks it in from the heat. I also like how the plates air long, so I can grab a lot of hair, and even in one pass they are straight. I consciously limit myself to one pass because I dont want to damage my hair, but even if I didnt, I wouldnt need the 2nd pass. The cord is really long, the water compartment loads easily, and all the buttons are well places so Im not turning anything on and off or moving things around. This flat iron can get very hot, but I only go up to 35 because thats all it takes for my thick unruly African American hair. Also, I use it without the steam for quick touch ups, which are really few and far between. So far, Ive only flat ironed my hair twice a week, because theyre not lying when they say with the steam irons, the process lasts 30% longer. I'm so happy with this flat iron, I dont see how the chi can do any better, but if I find it does, Id still recommend the steam irons, and specifically, this one!

I purchased this product in September. When I got it I was so dissapointed to find out how loud and heavy this thing was. This thing is so loud that I have been asked by a family member to find somewhere else to blowdry my hair because it wakes them up in the next room over (and trust me, they are not light sleepers)! After a few weeks of use, the dryer cut out while I was half way done drying my hair and would not turn back on for roughly 10 minutes. I thought perhaps it was a fluke thing. Nope! Just over another month passed and the dryer began to spark from the inside and was glowing for about 2 minutes, when all of a sudden it stoped glowing and would not blow any hot air. This dryer overheats like nothing I have ever seen.
This thing is awful. I am so dissapointed because the last hairdryer I owned was an Andis as well and it was amazing! It lasted me just over 5 years, was super quiet, lightweight and wonderful. Do not buy this item!

Only one advise: Avoid buying this horrible product!I own several Andis pet clipper products so I trusted the brand. I was wrong!
I don't think Andis manufactured this product. It's just a generic, low quality dryer disguised as an Andis.
Best Deals on Andis 81290 Tourmaline Ionic/Ceramic 1875 Watt Hair Dryer
Andis apparently makes products for beauty salons and barbershops. It shows in the products that they make for the general consumer.Bought this model because of the retractable cord. Great feature if you don't leave your blow dryer on the counter all day and are sick and tired of wrapping five feet of cord around the handle every time you're done. It hangs up when it retracts every once in a while, but it keeps the cord out of the way.
This model has more settings than you can think up reasons for. Two power settigs 1875W and a second lower setting I never use. Three heat settings and three blower settings. And then add a cold blower setting.
Only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I also bought an Andis traveler blow dryer (RC-2) for the gym (w/ retractable cord and folding handle) that I like better;

Review of Giovanni - Sunset Styling Lotion - 8.5 oz
My husband and I both love this product. He has short hair that he spikes and I have shoulder length hair that I scrunch wavy and blow straight. This product greatly helps to acheive both styles. Yeah for a natural styler that works. P.S. It is a liquid. Rub small amounts at a time between hands then run through the hair. Repeat with experimentation until you get your desired result. A little goes a long way...
Reviews of wig stand portable wig stand wig dryer
I bought this product because the one I had before (Revlon) broke all over the place. This one is more durable and perfect for storage. When I bought my wig from the gallery I went to, the sales woman told me not to get a styrofoam head because it stretches out the wig. Also, this type of stand is good for drying your wig after you wash it. The product came before the estimated date. Although I'm not too happy paying more for the shipping than the product, it was about accurate to what I payed for the previous one at the gallery.

I have used several various straightners over the years, and this is by far the best. It works great for taking the slight curl out of my medium length mens hair. I like it so much, this is my second purchase of the exact same item, as I wore the first one out! But it lasted over two years of daily heavy use and being shuffled between home, school and the gym.

This is great for short hair. Very controllable, but a note--it gets very hot, very fast. Unless you have steel plated hair, don't use it at the highest setting.I use this with the Soya products and they keep the hair healthy while this tool keeps it very straight all day long.

I had another flat iron before this one...and it was very heavy. I couldn't hold it for very long. So I looked on the web for something lighter and something for shorter hair. This flat iron is very nice. It is very light and easy to hold. It is awsome to run through your hair. My hair is medium blonde and pretty thick and wavy. But this iron just does an excellent job of straightening it out. I've never had such straight hair...not since I was about 5 years old!I've gotten so many compliments on my hair and I just love it! So if you are looking for a flat iron...I would choose this one.

Ionic and Tourmaline are worth the price, but do your research and find a brand that has a longer life!!Best Deals on T3 Micro Featherweight Hair Dryer
I do alot of shopping online and I have never before written a review. I used this dryer maybe 7 or 8 times. I keep it in a drawer on top of towels and have handled it like a piece of crystal after reading all reviews. It just stopped working on my 3rd section of hair today. The warrenty is not valid if you don't register the product within 21 days of purchase (not even receipt of the dryer), so I am out of luck by 3 days.This is a testiment to the lack of confidence the company has in it's own product.

Stella 4salon Portable Stand Dryer #9907 Reviews
Been wanting one of these types of dryers for a while, this one works ok for me. Out of the box it looks pretty cheaply made...I almost didn't think it would start, but it did. I use it for deep conditioning and drying my hair with setting lotion. I measured & it comes down about 9 in. in the back and about 8 in. in the front which may not be enough room for large rollers. It has a timer up to 60 min., cool, low, & high heat settings, but the hot is pretty hot and low is pretty low, so if you're looking for something in between this may not be it.
I've had it for about 3 weeks now & I'm happy, but I got it for $49.99 locally which I think is fair for the quality of this dryer. I wouldn't pay $120 though...not for this one at least. If you're going to shell out that kind of cash I'd go on & pay a little extra for a name brand, so definitely shop around. If you live in the DFW area I got mine from Jenny Beauty Supply on Cockrell Hill.
She loves it!
Thanks a lot!

This is the best blow-dryer I have ever owned. I am African-American with coarse natural hair. This blow dryer gets my hair dry very quickly with minimal hair loss. The design is lightweight and easy to hold plus the attachments are perfect. I find the goldish color to be kinda nice in my opinion as well. The price is competitive and it is lasting me a while. Andis might be highly underrated like a best kept secret. Most people wouldn't expect something with such a low price to work so greatly! I love this and recommend it to everyone.

I am an African-American woman with hair past my shoulders. I do not have a perm / relaxer yet I am not natural with locks or twists so maintaining a smooth straight style for my beautiful thick, yet coarse hair is a challenge. This blow dryer is just what the doctor ordered. I now only have to bend the bottom with a flat iron for a bump after using this wonderful tool and I'm good to go. The pros are many: It doesn't overheat, yet filters heat evenly and provides a nice shine, it doesn't emanate a "burning hair" smell when you shut it off like my old one, and the fine tooth comb straightens my hair to perfection and as stated, enables only mild flat iron action for curl effect.I love this blow dryer and have even purchased a second one to leave at my honey's house! A great purchase! I highly recommend the Andis 82105 Ceramic Ionic Styler Hair Dryer.

I definitely have not had the negative opinion on this dryer as other customers have had. My natural hair has very tightly coiled curls, so a normal dryer without a comb attachment only can do so much. I put the dryer on medium and blow dried my hair in sections, and it dried my hair so fast, and straightened it well! Now, I don't have to deal with the hassle of not being able to comb through my hair easily. My only dislike about the dryer is that it is kind of on the larger side, and I wish the attachments were so big/long, but aside from that, it works well for me, and saves me time and frustration! Plus, you can't be the price!
