Pros and cons

According to our hair straightener expert

  • The ceramic coating protects the hair from damage, due to the high temperature.
  • Thanks to the wide plates, this hair straightener is very suitable for long and thick hair.
  • The cable has a 2.5m length, so you don't need to have a socket nearby.
  • The hair straightener doesn't have a memory function, so you'll have to set the temperature each time.

Description

You can curl and straighten hair with the BaByliss Steam Straight ST492E hair straightener. You can also hydrate your hair while straightening or curling, thanks to the Advanced Ceramics technology. This way, you prevent your hair from drying out. In addition, the ceramic plates protect your hair from damage. You can choose from 5 different temperature settings of 150 to 230°C. For example, for thin and damaged hair, you should use the lowest temperature. Do you have long and thick hair? Use the highest temperature setting. The hair straightener also warms up within 30 seconds, so you can quickly start to straighten your hair. You'll have all the space you need, thanks to the 2.5m revolving cable. When you're not using the hair straightener, it'll power off automatically.

Smooth straightening iron, quick to use

  • Extra wide plates
  • Ceramic coating
  • Combs to better distribute the hair
  • Combs are not removable

Very happy with the purchase of the BaByliss straightener. I used my previous straightener for far too long and can now straighten my hair in 1x per lock at the second lowest temperature. So I don't have to set the iron as high. The description does not state that the straightener has combs to better distribute the hair. At first I had some doubts about that, because this is made of plastic, but it still distributes the hair well between the plates and does not damage the hair. With the previous model these were sliding off and I did not use them. Here they are fixed, but really an addition. Furthermore, the ceramic plates are nice and smooth and heat up very quickly.

I only think it's a shame that there is no heat-resistant mat/silicone casing that you can wrap around the straightener, so that you can quickly take it with you in your suitcase/sports bag.
