A competitor to the non-ceramic 2-1/4” BAB1550, the BAB2550 comes with a chockfull of useful features such as heating plates that wrap around the edge for easy finishing touches, a swivel lock that keeps the iron in closed position while not in use, and a removable comb to hold the hair securely while straightening. The BAB2550 also includes contoured easy-grip handles, dual voltage for worldwide wise, and a 9’ professional power cord. Overall, the BAB2550 trumps its competitor primarily due to its ceramic frame that when introduced to heat, emits far infrared heat waves with longer wavelengths. These in turn are absorbed by the hair, resulting in enhanced vitality, reduced stress, and less damage. The BaByliss BAB2550 is priced at $80.25, the same as its competitor. If purchased from the manufacturer, the BaByliss BAB2550 comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
