Here's what I liked about it:
- You can adjust the temperature which is great because many flat irons don't allow you to do that. It also has a display where you can see the temperature which can go up to 450F/230C.
- It automatically changes the temperature display to Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the supplied voltage, how smart is that?
- It's light which is great if you want to take it as a travel companion.
- It has a 360 swivel cord.
- It heats up fast and turns off automatically.
- It has a thumb print and cool tips for a steady grip and to avoid burning your fingers.
- Buttons are on the inside so you won't press them accidentally.
- The manual recommends what temperature to use depending on your hair type. I found this really useful and interesting. I always thought it was the same for any type of hair! Since mine is thin, the recommendation is to use heat setting 1 (around 150ºC/300ºF).
So that's it for the advantages, let's see the results. As I said my hair is thin, really curly and it's also shoulder length. I don't dye it but I get balayage and highlights about 3 times a year. I used the Irresistible Me hair straightener after letting it air dry. Then I combed it to soften the curls and started working on it. I was surprised that I only needed one pass to get it straight (with the recommended heat setting 1).
I was really happy with the result because my hair looks shinny after using it and it didn't take much effort to straighten it. So, I definitely recommend it and if you're on the hunt for a good value hair straightener.
You can buy the Irresistible Me Diamond Flat Iron online for $104 (it's on sale!). Irresistible Me ships worldwide. However, you will need an adapter for the plug if you live outside the US.
