What is the difference between silicone and titanium flat irons?

Not for sure in technical terms. But can tell the difference between the two on my hair. My hair is smoother and silkier with the silicone. I have color treated hair.

I did not know about that. But the product works great!!! I have used many flat irons and this one is the best and less expensive than the Chi. If my flat iron would break I would just buy another they are only like $40. I hope you enjoy yours.

yes, it is Ceramic/Tourmaline Ion plates give a shinier, silkier result than regular ceramic flat iron in lesser time.Its great if you have thick hair, you have to run it a few more times through to get it flat.

I own two sets of the Babyliss in both the ceramic (full set of rollers) and the titanium rollers(travel roller set). Personally I do not see any difference.... I love both. Supposedly the titanium heats at a lower temp thus minimizing frizz and hair damage BUT I have never had an issues with the ceramic set. Both are fabulous.

The iron is roughly similar in size to the Chi, maybe a fraction bigger. I used to have the Remmington Wet 2 Straight and that was bigger than the Amika. It goes up to 425F.

They are identical except for the handle design. 830862 is older and has the textured finish on the entire titanium piece, whereas the 831154 is newer and has the textured finish only halfway across. Some say the new design leaves a sharp edge where the texture stops, but I've been using mine for almost 3 months and no issues. Just decide which look you prefer

I have both the turn dial and the digital. I love them both. I personally like the digital one better because I can see the temperature much easier. Heating up time seems to be the same, by far the best flat iron I've ever had.

Not sure of the difference in the length but I love this flat iron! Perfect for me!

I believe that a replica won't last as long as an authentic pyt flat iron. & also, it won't give you enough shine in you hair. If you want great quality, get the real thing. Don't settle because it won't give you the same results. I hope this helped.

I believe the original is more flat. The salon elite (which I have) has a curved middle so that it shapes to your head more. I'm sure both work fine!

Not sure you received my earlier reply. I like the ceramic because it glides effortlessly and starch spray does not stick as much as it does with stainless soleplate. Just use a wet dish towel after using and run the iron over it and you will get years of service.

Thank you SO much! You just saved me a ton of time researching. It really is amazing that both irons are virtually the same. I appreciate you posting this!

As an engineer, I dont have a technical answer for this question. Having said that, how does it matter to a person ironing a garment? Not much difference in normal usage. However, if you iron over something such as a forgotten piece of plastic in a pocket that melts and sticks to the iron, ceramic is easier to clean. Other than that, I don't see a difference. As someone who has spent some time trying to clean out stuck-on burnt plastic on iron surfaces, this difference made the choice for me.

Yes to both. The silicone strips are what seems to make it work so well. Its the vest flat iron ice ever owned

I 'm a hairstylesis and to me it doesnt matter if its shape is more squared cuz its the way u hold the iron. If u hold it to long and to firm on the area it will crease, holding it not to firm and not to lose it will curl. I love my flatiron it works great.

actually i did some research. tourmaline is better for your hair and it saves your hair from damage compared to ceramic. the only thing is that tourmaline is not as well known as ceramic. ceramic is more exspensive than tourmaline and actually protects it from the heat. ceramic was something that first came out before tourmaline flat irons and so there for they are well trusted.
