Ionic Technology 

Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man-made fibres and air pollution contribute to a build-up of static electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel drying the hair can increase these levels, causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough. Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. Also high levels of static charge cause hair to become “fly-away” and difficult to style. The ion generator produces a stream of negative ions which act to neutralise the static charge, smoothing the scales on the cuticle for shiny, smooth and manageable hair.

IMPORTANT! The BaByliss Pro 235 Elegance Straightener has a high-performance Advanced Ceramics heater and is designed to reach very high temperatures. If the maximum setting is too hot for your hair type then there are two lower temperature settings available to use. 

CAUTION! This is a high heat appliance. Care must be taken to avoid the hot surfaces including the housing around the outside of the plates coming into direct contact with the skin, in particular the eyes, ears, face and neck.
