## Questions

**Which flat iron is good for fine hair?**

Conair XL Onyx Ceramic Flat Iron has the best record (10 of 11), followed by BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Styling Iron (6 of 9) and BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Ultra Thin Flat Iron (9 of 15). All three rest on small groups, so a handful of reviews could change the order.

**Is the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Ultra Thin Flat Iron good for fine hair?**

Results are mixed. More shoppers with fine hair stated a result for it than for either of the others, 15 in all, but 6 of them said it did not work on their hair. The other two irons here have stronger records for fine hair.

**Can I buy these flat irons through Amazon?**

We could not confirm the exact Amazon listing for Conair XL Onyx Ceramic Flat Iron, so its button searches Amazon for it. BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Styling Iron and BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Ultra Thin Flat Iron have no buy link here, because too few shoppers reported a good result for us to recommend them.

**Are these results from a lab test?**

No. The counts are what shoppers with fine hair said after using each iron, not a lab test of heat or safety, so follow the label directions.
