The BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium 1 1/4" Spring Curling Iron creates loose waves or textured curls. The Nano titanium barrel uses far-infrared heat, heating the hair shaft from within for styling without damage. This iron also uses Sol- technology. Sol- barrels have a significantly higher percentage of titanium & ceramic compared to conventional barrels. As a result they are stronger, longer-lasting, & more resistant to chemicals, so your tools will last!
