If this is not 100% ceramic, does it burn/damage hair?

No. Its works fine I use it on my real hair and fake hair. I had brought one of these sets 6 years ago. I had loan it out. But anyway they work good.

Always use a thermal protectant..ALWAYS..otherwise it's like the same as a curling iron

I have very sensitive scalp and this is the only perm that does not burn my scalp. My hairdresser in NY had me try it 5 years ago it and I've been using it since. If it has lye, it has very litte.

Blow dryers that have metallic or plastic heating parts tend to burn with extremely high heat and they tend to heat your hair unevenly. Ceramic, on the other hand, is a material that has unique heat conduction properties, resulting in heat that radiates evenly across your hair. Blowers with metallic or plastic heating parts, diffuse positive ions which cause the cuticle of the hair to become frizzy and dull. Higher quality blow dryers with ionic drying diffuse negative ions, which cause the hair cuticle to trap moisture and eliminate frizz. On top of that, ionic dryers fight and eliminate static electricity in your hair. Hope this helps!

Not without damage...Any hot metal used on wet hair will cause damage. However it does not get hot enough to actually dry or curl wet hair, and has no hot air.

450! 450 does not burn your hair at all, it just works better and quicker. However, it does leave a kind of "burnt" smell in your hair, but you can expect that smell to go away in 1 or 2 days. Also, if you do not want to deal with the smell in the first place you can buy a heat protecter spray, my friend uses this one and it works great: Silk Elements MegaSilk Heat Protection Spray. here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDY0IJM/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3DW8K0RLD82PJ

I don't know for a fact which is stronger but if I had to guess, I'd guess the mild. The products they make for color treated hair is supposed to be gentle. If you check the mizani website they would probably have the best answer. Try no lye perm too the kind u mix... I just tried that recently it was wonderful - no burning!

Sorry Arcy, I have not used the BAB2000. But ceramic technology means it gives off consistent heat. The one I bought is not only ceramic but Ionic (defrizzes hair), tourmaline (for shine & smoothness) and infra-red (drys from inside out...if there is any truth to this). Hope this helps.

Mine that I just received today is NOT 100% boars hair. In fact, I'd say that it's about 1% boars hair. To test this I pulled out a few of the light colored bristles and burnt them. They burnt, as hair would. Then I pulled out about 10 of the black ones (that are pretty obviously NOT hair) and burnt them. They ALL melted. Hair does not melt. There is one lighter colored boars hair to about every 50 black plastic bristles.

no it will burn it and may cause it to feel like burnt plastic if you use a curling iron.

Francenia, also looking at a previous answer before mine it will be good or bad to different types. My hair has improved 100% with this product and ven though it had loads of highlited and added colors to it it doesn't damage, dry out or dull my hair (or hair color) at all. But definitely asking would help. I help you get all good luck as I love this product.

No. I didn't do a chemical analysis on it or anything, but it claims to be 100% pure.I have not tried it on my face or scalp. I'm too scared to. It just doesn't seem right. :)

I have put my hair straightener on the counter top, and have not "melted" the topcoat. Of course, the plated do not directly touch it, but even where they've been near the top, there are no scorch marks, and so far no nicks or tears. I would highly recommend it, however I would never cut anything on it directly.

Being ceramic it should not harbor any bacteria - my guess is as look as you keep it clean it's OK to use it.

So far, I haven't experienced that, I use about an inch (in width) of hair at a time. I've had it for a few months now and have only used it 2 or 3 times. The only thing that I don't like is that the coating on the plates is starting to chip off. I think it's too soon for anything like this to be happening and I hope this won't lead to too much heat on my hair.
