The BaByliss ST496E Steam Shine Styler is a versatile 2-in-1 tool designed to both straighten and curl hair. It features plates with a diamond ceramic coating and a patented Advanced Ceramics™ heating system, which ensures heat is distributed evenly across the 39 x 100 mm surfaces. To keep hair hydrated during styling, the device includes a continuous steam generator fed by a 12 ml water tank, while an ionic function helps remove frizz and add a natural shine. You can choose from five temperature settings ranging from 150°C to 230°C, all of which are easily monitored via a digital LED display. The tool heats up quickly in just 20 seconds and is designed for ease of use with a 2.5 m swivel cord and a curved outer metallic surface that makes creating waves and curls more intuitive. Weighing only 0.35 kg, it remains comfortable to handle during longer styling sessions. For added convenience, the styler comes with a detachable comb attachment and a heat-resistant mat. Safety is integrated through an automatic shut-off feature, making it a reliable choice for those who want a single device to handle multiple looks, from sleek straight hair to soft curls.
