Is the BaBylissPRO Auto-Curler good for beginners?

Yes. The barrel wraps hair for you at the press of a button, and a slower rotation speed helps you learn. You still need to section hair and load it correctly.

What size curls does it make?

The 1-inch barrel makes defined, medium-to-tight curls. It is not the tool for loose waves or big bends.

It has five heat settings up to 430°F, so you can match the heat to fine, medium or coarse hair.

Can I curl both sides of my head evenly?

Yes. A two-way direction button rotates the barrel left or right, so curls on each side face the same way.

Is it good for travel?

It has dual voltage, so it works with different outlet voltages abroad. It is corded, so you need an outlet and the right plug adapter.

Does it shut off on its own?

Yes. A 60-minute auto shut-off turns the barrel off if you leave it on.

About the BaBylissPRO The Auto-Curler

The BaBylissPRO The Auto-Curler is an automatic rotating curling iron with a 1-inch barrel. At the press of a button, the barrel rotates and wraps hair for you, so there is no manual wrapping or twisting. It makes curls in about 10 minutes.

The barrel has a PerfectCurl coating that helps hair glide around it with consistent tension and less snagging. A 3-inch clamp holds each section of hair. A direction button rotates the barrel left or right, so curls can be balanced on both sides of the head. A home button resets the barrel between sections.

There are 5 heat settings, up to 430°F, and 2 rotation speeds: a slower one for learning and a faster one for more practiced use. Dual voltage makes it suitable for travel, and a 60-minute auto shut-off turns it off automatically.
