Hair Matters

Flat Irons today's tool for Straight Hair  You may be too young to remember but for years folks have been trying to get flat straight hair. No tricks escaped notices form using an iron and ironing board clothes iron on the ironing board to wrapping hair around discarded frozen orange juice cans. Smooth straight hair was, and still is a "no holes bared" fight to get your hair looking straight smooth, sexy, so it will turn under and frame your face to make just the look you want ... today! We have come a long way form using discarded Concentrated Orange juice cans and ironing boards.  Today's heat tool for sexy straight hair is a flat iron. But which flat iron should you take home?

Things you should think about:

• Cheap isn't cheap!  Basic flat irons, even at Target start around $100. Salon Quality Flat Irons retail around $300.
  • We have purchased and used at least 27 different flat irons - Expensive to say the least.
  • For every day use --- our winner is the ---  1" GHD Classic Flat Iron  (I believe GHD stands for Great Hair Day - because that is what you get with a GHD.)
    We still have 10 or 15 irons all sitting on the shelf and day after day, time after time we pick up our GHD iron to finish client after client after client. It's quick, it heats up fast,  -- the GHD technology checks and reheats the plates every millisecond to insure it is a he right temperature,  --  the GHD is versatile, and ---  if you don't pick it up for a while it turns itself off and "beeps" quietly to remind you to unplug it. This automatic-off feature not only saves the iron, but it helps reduce built in fire hazard that comes with every flat iron you buy. Not to worry the GHD iron heats up really fast, whenever you turn them on. Remember to always be safe, and unplug any flat iron when your hair styling is done. 
  • So if you are just straightening or touching up you hair every day you can start with a "not so cheap" - flat iron and upgrade or --- you can make life easy & go right to the 1"-GHD iron and only buy the iron that works best..
  • As a very close second we use, and would suggest the  the Paul Brown Hawaii Red Flat Iron
     
• We use flat irons for: 
  • the 1/2" flat iron helps with detailing and curling hair - the White Sands, temperature controlled Curling Irons also work well for curling you hair.
  • For at home straightening treatments like Get It Strate  treatment that lasts 2-4 months, or the ThermaFuse 450F a Daily Straightener styling aid.
  • When doing in-salon  Keratin Hair Straightening Treatments - the temperature controlled, Coppola Irons are #1 on our list.
    So if you are going to try and do a mini keratin treatment at home
    • to try and stretch out the time between in-salon keratin treatments ...or
    • to try and stretch out the time between Keratin Express Blow Out Treatments
    • to try and repair damaged hair by adding keratin
    • to try and stop hair breakage after kemo or surgery
    The Coppola Keratin flat iron, with dial in temperature control,  is the best choice for your straightened hair. If you are using a keratin treatment and want curly hair you can use the White Sands, temperature controlled Curling Irons.
