I was always ticked off that I couldn't straighten my hair with a brush and hair dryer. I just was never any good at it. I always thought that it would take SOOO much time off of my hair styling routine if I could get it straight while drying instead of drying then having to straighten.
When I went to buy a new straightening iron I came across this one. (Affiliate Link)
My thoughts on the matter were - 1) if it works that would be AWESOME but 2) if it doesn't work then I at least will have a straightener that will work.
So - here are some before and after pics . . . excuse the lack of make-up, I was just keepin' it real.
I'll give you the rundown of my opinions about this straightener . . .
1) It does what it says it will do - which surprised me, pleasently
2) It gets HOT. Really, really hot and you have to be careful with the steam that comes out of it when you are using it . . . could be dangerous for sure!
3) It saves time and gives the look that I was looking for - so I think it's a great choice for me.
4) It's not super expensive. I paid less than $30 for it and was happy about that. I didn't want a really cheap, little straightener because that would just frustrate me. I wanted something that would work but I didn't want a salon one that would run me $80 - $100. I was good with the price.
There you have it.
I would totally recommend it if you are looking for something to save some time and get your hair straight. . . . really straight. :)

thanks for the post about this! mine has been acting up lately. you have to jiggle the cord to get the light to come on. so obviously i shouldn't be using it.. LOL! anyhow, i'm glad it worked for you because i always thought the cheaper ones weren't that great. plus, i think i have enough amazon money from cashing in my swagbucks! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have the same type of hair! Mine is tolerable without straightening, mostly because I just pull it back everyday. I love it when I take the time to straighten, though. Have you tried the straightener with dry hair? In other words, does it still work with dry hair? I might have to check that out!

That's funny...I have super curly hair but now I just go with it. I'm lucky with the right leave in conditioner and hair gel I can pretty much keep my curls under control!
