My Take On It

Growing up, my hair was always super straight, it was so straight it was annoying.  I really couldn’t stand it, so from about the age of 10 or so I started getting a perm.  Up until I graduated high school, I got perms to give my hair some curl, something other than pure straightness.  Fast forward to almost 5 years ago, when I had my son, and all of a sudden my hair started getting wavy.  Today, if I do not straighten it, it is nothing but complete waves.  Needles to say, I’ve been searching for the best flat iron out there.

I got the pleasure of trying out the Hana Professional Flat Iron 1″ – Pink Edition from Misikko.  Within my review pack I received the 1″ Hana Professional Flat Iron – Pink Edition, the Travel Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat, Tin Case, Hana ShineShield Thermal Protectant 6 oz, and a couple little extras (seen in picture).  You can click on the image to be taken to the product page for the Pink Edition Flat Iron I received.

As you can see from the images below (you can click to enlarge them), my hair was pretty curly/wavy when I started out and how much straighter it was after using the Hana Professional Flat Iron.  It was really easy to use, basically the same concept as any other flat iron.  The only difference that I really noticed is the Hana Professional Flat Irons work a lot quicker.  It heat up a lot faster and I didn’t need to go over the same areas several times to get the level of flatness I received.

Needless to say, my Hana Flat Iron is going to be replacing my other flat irons!

Disclosure: I would like to thank John at Misikko for providing me with the Hana Professional Flat Iron for the purpose of this review.  All opinions are that of my own.
