Best BaByliss flat irons

Top pick: BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1" Ultra-Sleek Straightening Iron — the sweet spot for most people: titanium plates heat fast and glide smoothly, and the 1" width handles both sleek straightening and curls or waves.

Who the others suit:

• Nano Titanium 2" Ultra-Sleek — long or thick hair; the wide plates cover more hair per pass.
• Nano Titanium Prima3000 1.25" — dual voltage, so it travels abroad; the in-between width is a good all-rounder.
• Nano Titanium Ultra-Thin — tight curls, flicks and short hair.
• Porcelain Ceramic / Nano Titanium-Plated Ionic — gentler, more forgiving heat if your hair is fine, colour-treated or prone to frizz.

All are pro-style irons with high heat; pick by hair length and how much heat your hair tolerates.
