I am planning to buy myself a flat iron and search all helpful info on the internet. The following review is quoted from folica.com by Kaci from Seattle, Washington, I think it contains very useful information.
This is the first straightener that works for me. It is simple to use and marvelously effective. I have medium-thick curly hair and the iron lets me smooth and shape my mane beautifully. The plate head has little rubber nubbies that help grip, which is especially helpful if you straighten in front of your bathroom mirror and put it down on a smooth ceramic counter. Since I dye my hair often and straighten it two to three days of the week, I cut down on split ends and other damage by using generous amounts of conditioner every time I wet my head.
Drawback: The hotplates will melt the plastic. You heard me: this tool is suicidal. I made the mistake of storing my first one wrapped up in its own cord, and the plates melted the plastic casings and the cord. Also, over the course of a year or so, the plates had melted away from the casings quite a bit, which made straightening dicey if my fingers brushed the edges (fingers go ouch). You’ll get the hang of using it and build up smooth burn calluses on certain fingers. I suggest storing it on a tabletop somewhere where it can cool itself after you use it and can’t get stepped on or catch anything on fire.
Altogether, this is a good quick n’ dirty handy dandy tool that won’t drain your bank account. It has my love; I am buying it twice. |
