Is the BaBylissPRO Style Switch the Only Tool You'll Ever Need?
At Tangerine Salon, we're always on the lookout for innovative tools that can simplify your styling routine without compromising on results. The beauty world is buzzing about the BaBylissPRO Style Switch, a multi-styler and dryer that promises to do it all. We took it for a spin to see if it lives up to the hype, and we're here to give you the honest truth.
The Concept: A Stylist's Dream in a Single Tool
The Style Switch is designed to be your all-in-one solution for hair styling. It's a single handle that you can attach a variety of styling heads to, including a dryer, a round brush, a smoothing tool, and a diffuser. The idea is to streamline your beauty routine and save space, especially for those who travel or have a small beauty collection. The "switch" is made simple with a quick-release latch that holds the attachments securely in place.
What We Loved
The Power: This isn't a flimsy hair tool. The dryer itself is powerful, with a strong airflow that cuts down on drying time. For us pros, and for you at home, this is a game-changer.
The Round Brush Attachment: This was a clear favorite. It creates a smooth, voluminous blowout that’s reminiscent of a professional salon visit. The combination of boar and nylon bristles truly helps to detangle and smooth the hair, leaving it shiny and frizz-free.
The Ionic Technology: The BaBylissPRO Style Switch utilizes Nano Titanium Ionic technology, which helps to reduce frizz and static. This is especially important for us in Texas, where humidity is a constant battle. The result is noticeably smoother, healthier-looking hair.
The Pause Button: This is a small but brilliant feature. The pause button allows you to stop the airflow and heat instantly, making it easy to section your hair or change attachments without fumbling with the power switch. It’s a thoughtful detail that shows a real understanding of how people use these tools.
The Travel-Friendly Design: This tool is lightweight, and the dual-voltage feature is perfect for our clients who are always on the go. The included travel case keeps everything organized and protected.
Our Expert Tips and Tricks
Prep is Key: As with any heat styling, a good heat protectant is non-negotiable. We love the Aveda Damage Remedy™ Daily Hair Repair to protect your strands and keep them healthy.
For the Perfect Blowout:
Start with the dryer attachment to get your hair about 80% dry. This will save you time and make the blowout process much easier.
Section your hair with clips. Working in small, manageable sections is the key to a professional-looking blowout.
Switch to the round brush attachment and work your way through each section, starting from the bottom.
For extra volume at the crown, lift the hair up at the root with the round brush and hold the dryer in place for a few seconds before moving on.
Finish with the cold shot button to lock in your style and add shine.
For Sleek and Smooth Hair:
After rough-drying your hair with the dryer attachment, switch to the smoothing tool.
Take small sections and slowly guide the smoothing tool from root to tip. The plates gently smooth the hair without the extreme heat of a traditional flat iron.
For Curly Girls:
If you want to enhance your natural curls, the diffuser attachment is your best friend.
Use the diffuser on a low speed setting and gently "cup" your curls, scrunching them upwards toward your scalp. This will help define your curl pattern and reduce frizz.
The Verdict
While no single tool is perfect for everyone, the BaBylissPRO Style Switch comes impressively close. We found it to be a powerful, versatile, and well-designed tool that can help you achieve a variety of looks with minimal effort. It's a worthwhile investment for anyone who wants to elevate their at-home styling game.
