Buyer question · Flat iron
Is the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 2-inch Ultra-Sleek flat iron a good fit for long or thick hair?

Short answer
By the maker's account, yes. BaBylissPRO says the Nano Titanium 2" Ultra-Sleek Straightening Iron (item BNT134T) is engineered for long fine, medium thick, coarse and textured hair, and that its extra-wide 2-inch plates straighten large sections faster than narrower flat irons. The extended-length, full-floating titanium plates and five heat settings up to 450°F round out the design.
At a glance
Best for
- Long fine hair, which BaBylissPRO names among the hair types it is engineered for
- Medium thick, coarse or textured hair, also on the maker's list
Skip it if
- You want a narrower iron: BaBylissPRO's own copy sets these extra-wide 2-inch plates against narrower flat irons
What we like
- Extended-length, full-floating plates that BaBylissPRO says maintain complete hair contact
- A ceramic heater that BaBylissPRO says gives instant heat-up and consistent heat recovery
- Slim, ergonomic design for comfortable styling, per the maker
Good to know
- BaBylissPRO's manual says the iron is suitable for dry locations only and should not be used with an extension cord.
Why it suits long and thicker hair
Wide plates for big sections
BaBylissPRO says the extra-wide 2-inch plates help you straighten large sections faster than narrower flat irons.
Plates that keep contact
The extended-length, full-floating plates maintain complete hair contact, according to the maker, and the titanium plates are described as ultra-smooth and durable.
Heat you can set
BaBylissPRO lists five adjustable heat settings shown on an LED screen.
Room to move
BaBylissPRO fits it with a professional 9-foot, 360-degree swivel cord.
How to use it
- Plug the iron into a standard electrical outlet and press the power button to turn it on; to turn it off, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds.
- Use the +/- controls to pick the setting for your hair type. The manual lists 450°F for coarse, very thick hair and 390°F for wavy or curly hair; the indicator light flashes until the iron reaches the setting.
- Section dry hair evenly and comb each section.
- Place the iron as far up the section as you want straightened, keeping it off the scalp, then close it on the hair and gently pull it down to the end of the section.
- Repeat several times if needed, and let the hair cool before combing.
