Hey guys! Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. Things have been pretty hectic around my house lately. Actually I've been keeping a bit of a secret from you ... we're building a house! It's totally stressful and time-consuming, but I can't wait to get some pictures up so you guys can see the progression of the house.
Today I'm reviewing the Irresistible Me dual voltage diamond flat iron (sounds pretty snazzy, right?). Every girl loves diamonds, and this dual voltage flat iron has crushed diamond particles in the plates.
So first off, the flat iron was shipped incredibly fast and the packaging was pristine. It comes packaged in its own box that has all of the features and pertinent information printed right on the inside.
I've been a dedicated CHI flat iron user for years, so I honestly didn't expect that to change when I was offered a chance to try out this Irresistible Me iron. I was so surprised when this blew my CHI out of the water! Reasons you need this flat iron:
- All buttons are on the inside so you don't accidentally push them while straightening your hair.
- Adjustable temperature setting.
- Digital temperature display which automatically switches between Celsius and Fahrenheit, depending on the supplied voltage. Perfect for all of you world travelers!
- Shuts off automatically after 30 minutes.
- It heats up FAST. Like 10 seconds, crazy fast. This is my favorite feature. I'm impatient. I hate waiting for my flat iron to heat up. I know it only takes like 2 minutes but I still hate waiting. You can plug this in and immediately use it on your hair. It's seriously amazing!
For all you flat iron using ladies out there, I have 3 tips for keeping your tresses healthy and strong, even with all that heat styling.
- ALWAYS USE A HEAT PROTECTANT. My favorite is Dry Bar's Hot Toddy, but there are lots of products out there. Find one that works for you and use it!
- DEEP CONDITION YOUR HAIR WEEKLY. I personally don't like to spend a lot on my shampoo and conditioners, so I use this inexpensive Pantene 3 Minute Deep Conditioner weekly. The rest of the days I use a normal conditioner, but I shampoo and condition right when I get in the shower, and then I let the conditioner sit on my hair while I finish my shower and rinse it out last.
- DON'T HEAT STYLE EVERY DAY. It really takes a toll on your hair if you do, and I've noticed such an improvement in the health of my hair since I've stopped washing and heat styling daily. I try to go at least 2 days between washes, and I try to let my hair air dry at least once a week. On the air dry days, this fun sea salt spray gives me some beachy waves that look great in the summer especially. Give it a try. I promise your hair will thank you.
