Styler BaByliss ST397E

There are two operating modes: intensive and protective. Extra long plates. Fast heating. Ceramic and tourmaline coating. Ionization. Temperature symbols. Removable comb attachments. Long cord. Thermal mat included.

The BaByliss straightener will help you make perfectly smooth and smooth hair or, conversely, curl it. Long plates (120 mm) allow you to capture wide strands, which saves time spent on styling. The plates heat up very quickly, the ceramic coating evenly distributes heat, and tourmaline, which is a source of negatively charged ions, adds shine and a healthy glow to the hair. As a result, the tongs glide easily through the hair without overheating or drying it out.

BaByliss ST397E offers several temperature settings from 140 to 235 degrees: low ones are suitable for thin and coloured hair, high ones are for thick, thick and naughty. Also, the manufacturer has added a few useful little things that make using the straightener more convenient. First of all, this is a removable comb nozzle. During straightening, the teeth comb the strands, helping to give them the necessary shape. Another model is equipped with a thermal mat, which can be used during operation or during storage. In addition, it is worth noting a long cord (2.5 m) and an auto-off function for safe operation: after 72 minutes of continuous operation, the device turns itself off.

Inexpensive professional

The French company BaByliss usually produces professional styling tools, the cost of which is as high as the quality. But this model belongs to the middle price segment and offers everything you need to create styling at home, like from a salon. The styler will become a reliable assistant for daily use, providing maximum comfort for both an experienced user and a beginner. The main component of any ironing is the plates, so the manufacturer focuses on them. They are extra long (as much as 120mm) and wide enough to grab a large strand and cut down on wasted time. By the way, the heating time is only 15 seconds, so BaByliss ST397E will be a good choice for those who are always in a hurry somewhere.

Also, the plates are coated with ceramics, which provide uniform heating, and tourmaline — a source of negatively charged ions that fall on the hair during styling, prevent them from becoming electrified and add shine. According to reviews, the plates are very smooth, gently glide over the strands without catching the hairs, and do not overdry the hair, preserving natural moisture due to ionization.

hair care

No less important in any styler are temperature conditions, because different types of hair require their own degree of heating. The model is equipped with six modes — from 140 to 235 degrees. The minimum values are the most gentle, therefore they are more suitable for thin and weak hair, it is advised to use high temperature for thick hair. If you are not strong in such nuances, and you are too lazy to look for instructions, the manufacturer has added convenient notations: the PROTECT button turns on the safe heating mode (that is, low temperature), and INTENSE activates the maximum heating. In addition, the temperature is indicated by indicators of different colours: green, yellow, orange and red, with the help of which it is intuitively clear which mode is best to use.

All inclusive

Another feature of the device is small comb attachments that are attached directly to the bottom plate and can be removed if desired. As a result, the device simultaneously combs and straightens the strand, increasing styling efficiency and eliminating the need to pass through the hair several times. In addition, the kit includes a thermal mat designed for safe use of the styler and convenient storage. Also worth noting is the auto-off function after 72 minutes and a long (2.5 m) cord with a swivel base.
