I got a new straightener from Sally Beauty

This is a really great straightener. It is called ION TITANIUM PLATINUM 5/8" KOMPACT DUAL VOLTAGE STYLING IRON. It cost about 30.00.

It is a mini straightener and is great for styling side swept bangs. It is a must have for shorter hair styles like mine.

It comes with a heat resistant,insulated travel pouch. It heats up to 386 degrees. I will say that you cannot adjust the heat so that would be the only drawback to this wonderful straightener. It only has an on/off switch and it says that it heats up to 386 degrees. It does not seem to be too hard on my hair.

It really is easy to handle. It is lightweight and not cumbersome. It leaves my hair really shiny and managable. But it doesn't "smash" my hair. My hair still has body and movement but is sleek and shiny. Hope that makes sense.

This product is defintely worth a try if you are looking for a new straightener(or to add to your straightener collection if you are like me).

Wow,I got alot of blogging done today. I feel proud:) Now I gotta go make my daughters cake for her 16th birthday!!!!

MY CURRENT STRAIGHTENER FROM SALLY BEAUTY SUPPLY

Believe me when I tell you that I have owned as many straighteners as I have hair dryers. I mean dozens of straighteners by many different brands.

I am currently using one from Sally's called Hot and Silky by silk elements.It gets really hot. It has a temperature dial and I use it between 2 and 3. I am losing hair and cannot afford to burn anymore off. You need to use a hot iron mat that they sell at Sally's also. This way you do not mess up you  bathroom counter because they get super HOT!! A hot iron mat is always good to have anyway with any straightener or curling iron.

I also like (surprise surprise) my many conair straighteners. Conair straighteners are really great. I love the conair you style multi-function straightener. You can straighten hair or create waves. This straightener has a curved plate on one side. It is really awesome.

I also like the conair infiniti I-series 3/4 inch straighteners. I have the one with the color green on it. It is very light to hold and is not cumbersome. It has got alot of heat settings and a screen for reading the temperature. I probably own just about every conair product ever made. Sad but true!
