BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1½" Flat Iron vs BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1" Flat Iron

These are the same BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium iron in two plate widths, so build, heat range, cord and warranty match. The 1½" is the better pick for long, thick or coarse hair, since the wider plate covers more hair per pass. The 1" is better for short hair, bangs, and detail work near the roots, and it is the easier iron to pack. Owners of both praise fast heat-up and smooth glide; the common complaint is that the digital buttons sit where your hand rests, so settings can change mid-pass.

• Choose the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1½" if you have long, thick or coarse hair and want fewer passes and faster styling.
• Choose the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1" if you have short hair, bangs or layers, or want one iron that also handles detail work and travel.
