GHD Platinum+ Styler vs BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron

The ghd Platinum+ is the safer pick for most people: one heat setting at 365°F that suits all hair types, predictive Ultra-zone technology, and a strong record with reviewers and Allure judges. The BaBylissPRO Nano Ultra-Thin gives you real control, with 50 settings up to 450°F, 1.5-inch extended plates and a 4-year warranty, which matters for thick, long or coarse hair and for anyone who styles fast. Build-wise the ghd feels more solid and the BaBylissPRO is lighter and slimmer. Owners of the ghd praise shine and low damage but miss adjustable heat; BaBylissPRO owners like the speed and heat range but note it can run hot on fine hair.

• Choose the ghd Platinum+ if you want a set-and-forget iron that protects color and works on any hair type without fiddling with temperature.
• Choose the BaBylissPRO Nano Ultra-Thin if you have thick or long hair and want wide plates, high heat and full temperature control.
