I bought mine at TJ Maxx for $24.99, i went back today and they got a whole bunch more in blue and pink!
They also had several (4 different types) other mini flat irons ranging from $12.99 (little i) to $24.99 (babyliss)
Hey YouTube: I have another review for you guys today and this one is going to be on the baby list. Pro nano titanium mini Flatiron um, as you guys may have seen in my other haul video. I got this at t.j.maxx for $ 24.99. You can get this at beauty, toys, calm as well as other online stores, but if you're looking to get it in your area check your Ross check your TJ, Maxx or Marshalls, or all right stores like that. So I'm going to start with the pros for this product, one of the obviously that it's so cute, it's like really really small um. Here'S the one compared to my big one, it's so cute, like it's so small and the cord plus the flat iron. This is it like this is it you can throw this in your purse if you have to in your gym bag whatever I mostly got this for travel purposes like I'm like okay, when I'm traveling for like just a weekend, I think it'd be great to have It I don't need to carry on my big one um, so yeah, that's why I got it. It'S really cute, really compact um. Another pro is that this heats up super fast. It heats up in like less than 30 seconds seriously. I plug it in. I turn on the little switch and thirty seconds later. It'S like hot and I can use it right there and then so it's great that it heats up really fast if you're in a rush, or you really need to like shirt in your hair like super fast. Like to do like a touch-up or something - and this is great because you don't have to wait really at all to use it another Pro - is that because it's so small, you can get really close to your roots with this just compared to the big one like It'S like it can get in really really close. So that's great! It'S good for styling, your bangs. If you girls have things because it's small and it's not as bulky to use like in the forehead area - and this also does everything that a regular flat iron does it straightens your hair. It looks out your hair, it flips in your hair and it also curls one of the things I like about it is that, because it is too small and narrow, you can get really nice defined curls with this. So that's another plus um. What else really something so yeah um? I think this is ideal for girls with, like shorter hair, I was able to straighten my whole head of hair with this. However, it did take a lot longer compared to a regular sized Flatiron, but if you have short hair, I think this is going to work great for you guys less hair to straighten, and you probably don't have to show you all of it. So that's really good. Um so cons, there's no heat setting on this sucker once you turn it on. It heats up to its full capacity, which is 430 degrees, Fahrenheit, that's pretty hot um, so yeah, there's no heat or temperature controlled in this. So if you have fine thin hair - and you don't want to put a lot of heat on your hair because you don't want to damage it as much - I wouldn't recommend this because, like I said it heats up to 430 degrees and you can't go anywhere below That in between that, whatever it's going to heat up to 430 degrees, so that is, you know a con to it. Another con is that the outside part, when this heats up the outside heats up too. So I'm not going to say it heats up to exactly 430 degrees on the outside, but it heats up pretty darn hot. So if you are one of people who like to clamp it down and touch the end of it and go down through your hair, that way, you can't touch this part with your bare hands, because it, you will burn yourself and I have burned myself. It gets really hot also if you are going to get really close to it. You have to be careful that the plastic part isn't going to touch it test, your your skin, too much either because you can burn yourself because, like I said for a little flutter, it heats up really fast and it heats up a lot. So a parting wishes data the outside was made were a more of a heat-resistant material, so yeah um, it's a good flat iron like I said it does everything that a big one does except it's smaller and it's more convenient and it's cute um. If you don't have a fire and you're looking to get one for everyday use, if you have longer hair and you're thicker hair, I personally wouldn't recommend this, because this is going to make you take more time out of your day to straighten your hair or to Do whatever you want to do with your hair using just this, because you have to take smaller sections of hair as compared to the big one where you could take a bigger chunk so for all over straightening use. If you have longer hair, I want to recommend this if you have short hair, I think this is great if you're looking for something just to do touch-ups ways to carry with you like after the gym or at school. Even I don't know. I know I never really had a use for this or I never wish that I could take my Flatiron to school, except for I was in a rush. So maybe you know this is handy for those of you guys who are on the go all the time. Don'T have a time to straighten your flat iron, your hair, that's great, because you can fit this in your purse, so yeah. Those are my thoughts on the BB list. Pro Nano titanium mini Flatiron. Like I said I got this for $ 24.99. Prices will vary depending on when you get or where you get it so yeah again. These are just my thoughts, my opinions, my experience with this product um. If anybody else has used it um, let me know what you think: you know share your stories, your tips, whatever everybody else, but I hope this is helpful and I hope that you guys have a good rest of the week thanks so much for watching alright take Care bye,

KylieCat123: Okay, so, GREAT INTERVIEW! :) But, i liked how honest you are about the cons and the pros. I talked to a Babyliss consultant and they didnt list ANY of those things. They didnt say that the plastic heats up or that there isnt a heat dile. Which sucks, but i really need a compact straightener, and this seems like an awesome product!
Denisehealthnut: That's how to review a product, you give pros and cons and they were super helpful. Thank you!
Carolyn Chase: I love the smaller flat iron. I have one I use it because my hair is short and I get it closer to my scalp and I also have very very thick hair. Good job explaining
Melanie R: I have the same flat iron. You can purchase a heat resistant glove at Sally Beauty Supply.
Danielle (LePooke): they are both supposed to be good for your hair cause they dont burn it compared to other materials. I think either would be good, and make sure to use a heat protectant spray, that helps too!
Danielle (LePooke): i have and it works pretty good if you want tighter curls. I actually returned mine today cause it just wasnt a "necessity" for me. But i may go back and pick up one of the cheaper ones and if i do ill curl with that one
Danielle (LePooke): i actually dont have mine anymore, but like any heat tool it can cause damage/breakage. make sure you use a heat protectant on your hair before you apply heat to it, that should help!
125ponygirl: I got mine at rexall! It came with a case! :)
Danielle (LePooke): i think this would work great for me, it works really well for short hair cause you can get really close to the scalp. I have longer hair so it wasn't really working for me.
Taylor Jackson: you can get one of those at walmart for 10.00!
Danielle (LePooke): no, i dont have a case for it, but check some beauty supply stores like sally's. I actually saw a chi flat iron pouch at TJ Maxx last week. So check ross, tj maxx, or marshalls they always have random stuff like that.
Danielle (LePooke): i know, i wish i did come with a pouch! I actually returned it today and i may go back and pick up one of the cheaper ones and see how it works.
Queen Kiki: I got one of these for Xmas! I got it in greeny blue
Lex Rodriguez: I bought the same one in Marshall's for only $10.00
B P: Mine was 15.99 at marshalls last week and its cheetah print
painterspirit: Haha, "There's no heat setting on this sucker." Ah, love it :]
Danielle (LePooke): exactly! its cute and it works, but i don't need, not practical for me and what i wanted it for, i actually returned it today. It was $25 but when i went back to the store they had other mini flat irons for as low as $12.99 so i might get one of those.
Danielle (LePooke): thanks so much! I agree, i think it works great on short hair, i however have longer hair so its not practical for me but im glad you love yours =)
KittnKAbooDle81: They are mainly for bangs ,touch ups,and very short hair like mine which is obvious if your hair is long it will take a long time to flat iron it due to the mini plates versus using a regular sized one with large plates.
BMYHNY: Awesome, I'm a boy an I got mine in blue :)
PinkCrushScooter: O.o i have got to have that !! wait , my hair is flat , aw well still going to get it !!! Its so cute , baby flatning iron
Ayysia Dansby: Just wanna know if TJ Maxx have the full size of that iron for the same price?
YandreL: What do you think is better? the titanium ones or the ceramic. I want one which does not damage the hair a lot. I'm a guy and I'm always styling my hair for easy spiking. Your answer would be greatly appreciated! :D
Danielle (LePooke): exactly! it gets REALLY hot! my grandma wanted one but i told her to just get a regular one cause im afraid she might burn herself, LOL
Danielle (LePooke): in the little info paper that comes with it i believe it says it can be used world wide, it probably has a built in transformer, but then again i havent tried it in a different country myself.
Danielle (LePooke): yea it takes a lot longer if you have more hair or longer hair but it still works. I got it mostly for traveling so i wouldn't have to bring around my big one, but it just isnt practical for me for the purpose that i wanted it for.
Danielle (LePooke): i havent seen these particular ones there but they have lots of different mini ones
PrincessCrocodile23: has anyone really tried it on europe??? because it claims to have dual voltage, although on the iron itself it only states that it works with 120 V 60 Hz, and all over the web I found that it supossedly works worldwide.
Danielle (LePooke): @KylieCat123 Im glad you found the review helpful!
joshua de leon: Hey nice vids i have a question for you i just waiting my order the very same babyliss pro you have now how can i spot the fake or whats the diffirence of fake and the original so i can return wen its fake thx you so much
Kaitlyn Tsai: i found something like that at frys but its cheeper... it was onsale for 20 bucks
Danielle (LePooke): thanks so much! I try to always give both sides so u guys can make the decision.
debbybaldie: i bought it just Rp 30.000 in my country. it's about $4 i think...
Danielle (LePooke): thank you so much, glad to help!
crazyguy3730: maybe its just me but when i used this, it snagged the crap out of my hair. i mean like every single time i would try to flatten a section i'd end up pulling out hairs.
gongju -nim: I thought titanium straighteners don't damage your hair?
courtney smith: ...also witch shop would you get it from?
gongju -nim: @massak614 No, ceranium titanium and silver don't damage your hair.
Danielle (LePooke): yea, but it does work to do your whole head, ive used it for that a few times and it works it jsut takes a while. It says on the box "for travel" which i why i wanted to use it on my whole head to see if i could just bring the mini instead of my big one.
Danielle (LePooke): mine does, check one near you they may them too. Mine recently got a whole bunch of them in the store, in blue and pink and a few other minis.
Riiitaxo: Hey, so im thinking of getting a new straightner . is 210 °C a good tempature ? thats as high as it goes the one that i want...
missy nerio: i have the same big one lol
Danielle (LePooke): glad i could help :)
Alex Turing: This one is the 1 or 0,5 inches?
Jenifer Sabb: Thank you, so much.
MzVan21: i just got mine from tj maxx for $10!!!..
VicckyElizabeth: @Conversekindofgirl they might have it in a pharmacy like duane reade or rite aide and such.
Ramsés HM: Thanks! :)
Yusuf: I've got this its so rubbish. takes forever to straighten or maybe i just have thick hair
KittnKAbooDle81: I was just about to say it would prob be morepractical if your hair was shorter or an angeled cut since for instance my hair has three pieces in the front to flat iron where yours is all one length so there is more hair to flat iron. They are more for sort hair it seems and not long or med lenght.samething happen to me I went to exchange my pink one fort the blk and there were tons more and initially there were ine a the blue babybliss.
Danielle (LePooke): yes it can curl and wave! but like u said it gets HOT! maybe wear a glove?
Andri Iskandar: its so hard to press and u cant touch the tongss coz its so effffing hawt!! but its all good, i used it wen i was in singapore for 1 month xD
Enrique p l: quiero una mi cabello esta como de largo am... unos 4 ó 5cm pero espero, y pues, se pueda planchar como emo.
itsthehandkshow: those are for you bangs i think and for touch ups not 4 ur whole hair good review
Danielle (LePooke): thank you :)
Danielle (LePooke): haha you're cute! i do wanna cut it again! i feel like it was short for like 2 weeks then it grew back :(
Shouq Blue: Mine Was 10 £ Wooow
courtney smith: with the man part of the iron it dosnt come with the wire?....
KittnKAbooDle81: That"s why I got mine for on the bus when going to auditions,since I pass out and when I wake up my hair looks crazy,I can just plug it into the bus.Hmm can you tell I"m trying to get u t go shorter"d"?
Joanie Parker: Thats where i went... cool
massak614: @gaaaaarbage they all do, just the ceramic and titanium don't damage as much as metal.
MrsMichealjackson009: what about short thik hair
Danielle (LePooke): im not sure, sorry :( if you google it im sure you'll find out!
