Lack of Additional Features

While this is the main purpose of the straightening iron, Babyliss could improve on the clamp. To straighten a wider range of hair types, the clamp would need to be tighter to apply heat more effectively. Due to the limitations of the dial-up, the Babyless could also improve upon the heat adjustment. Many other rivals can allow pre-set options that are specific to certain hair types. With no pre-set options, there is a greater chance of heat damage by using the wrong temperature setting.
