Glamour at the End of the Week

One thing that blogging has given me is the courage to find new hair curling techniques, hair products, nail polish and make-up. I will alternate on Fridays between fashion and glamour and for this first Glamour at the End of the Week is a hair straightener review.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Misikko to see if I would be interested in doing a flat iron review. Of course I couldn't say no! I pretty much always curl my hair but I couldn't turn down the opportunity to do a review. I received the HANA Titanium Flat Iron 1.5" and a whole bunch of other goodies. 

I couldn't believe the size of the box when I received it and saw that the extras the people at Misikko stuffed into the box. 

This is the box I got!

The beautiful straightener with its case

And everything else that came with the flat iron.

 A towel

This is a heat shield solution I put on my hair prior to straightening 

I can now try elf makeup 

A plastic mat to lay the straightener on so protect your counter from the heat

I asked my friend, Laura to be my test subject on the straightener. In roommates, when we were roommates I would straighten her hair usually while watching Sex in the City or Friends. Plus Laura would be perfect because she has naturally curly hair and I think you would be able to tell the difference of the before and after photos.

Here is Laura before with wet hair.

Then she blow-dried her hair. Craziness!

Now we were ready to straighten! I divided her hair into sections and was amazed how smooth the hair glides through the titanium plates.

You can tell the difference, the left side is has straightened and the right hasn't.

I finished all the underneath hair.

 Her hair is really shiny

I finished the top layer of her and asked for a full rotation of her straightened hair!

Here is the after photo with straightened hair using the HANA Titanium 1.5" straightener. 

Laura commented that her hair felt really soft, softener than any other straighteners she has used before. The hair glides very smoothly between the two plates and I didn't have a snag once with her hair.

Misikko has sells the HANA hair dryer which I have noticed a lot of other bloggers got to review as well. 

If you are in the market for a new hair dryer or straightener, I would definitely recommend the HANA titanium 1.5" straightener!

Thank you Laura for being my hair model and thank you Misikko for giving me the opportunity to review one of your products.

*I was not paid for this review, other than the box of goodies I received, that was my compensation for writing this review. These reviews are entirely my own.
