Our take on the BaBylissPRO The TrueTension Electromagnetic 1 Inch Flat Iron

The BaBylissPRO TrueTension is a 1-inch flat iron built around a spring-loaded, electromagnetic tension system that applies up to 5 lbs of pressure so the plates grip hair evenly through each pass. Nano Titanium plates and ionic technology aim for smoother contact, less frizz and more shine in fewer passes. Five digital heat settings reach up to 465°F, which covers fine hair through coarse, resistant textures. It suits people who straighten regularly and want salon-style tension control at home, though it is heavier and bulkier than simple ceramic irons and costs more than basic models.

Questions and answers

How is it different from a standard flat iron?
The plates are spring-loaded and electromagnetic, applying up to 5 lbs of pressure so contact stays even through the hair. A standard iron relies on how hard you clamp it.
What hair types is it best for?
It suits medium to thick, coarse or frizz-prone hair best. Fine hair can work too, but start on a lower setting and lighten your grip.
Does it work for curling or waving?
Yes. The 1-inch plates and rounded body let you straighten, flip ends and make waves, though it is built mainly for straightening.
How hot does it get?
It reaches 465°F across five digital settings, enough for resistant textures. Use lower settings on fine, color-treated or damaged hair.
Is it good for travel?
It is heavier and bulkier than compact irons, so it is better for home use. Check the voltage before taking it abroad.
