A downgrade from the BAB2550, the BAB2552 comes with a smaller frame (versus 2-1/4”). In all other aspects, however, the BAB2552 is essentially a duplicate of its peer. For instance, the BAB2552 also features 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. In addition, the BAB2552 comes equipped with contoured easy-grip handles, dual voltage for worldwide wise, and a 9’ professional power cord. Like its peer, the BAB2552 is based on a 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 BAB2552 is priced at $69.95, an $11 savings from its superior peer. If purchased from the manufacturer, the BaByliss BAB2552 comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
