Embracing a Healthy Family: flat iron contest

Finding flat irons that work and last is really a hard endeavor. My daughter and I both have curly hair and have burned through our share of hot irons. You name it, we've tried it and have learned that you really have to do your research to get a high quality, dependable flat iron if you want longevity and results. To date, we settled on Chi Flat Iron (Misikko sells) as that was the one iron we could trust to last without burning out fast. We also are fans of the FHI Flat Irons.

I was very pleased when Misikko offered an opportunity to review a complimentary Hana Professional Flat Iron and provide a giveaway for one of their professional flat irons.

About Misikko:

Misikko is located just outside Philadelphia and has been in business for five years. Their goal is to provide the newest innovations in the hair and beauty business that delivers high quality results. They are customer focused enough that if you learn of a new product, they welcome your information. They even provide assistance if you don't know which product to purchase by either calling or e-mailing them.

The Hana Flat Iron:

This was an amazing hot iron package to recieve. It comes with a free iron mat and for those of you that have burned counter tops, you will recognize how important this is! The storage pouch will be a nice feature to travel with and to store it when I'm not using it. Misikko even provided some cute Valentine's Day freebies and the Hana Shine Shield that protects hair from the heat. I can definitely say that I was impressed with the product and the delivery of the whole package. It is obvious that Misikko cares about their customers and goes the extra mile to make each one feel special.

The iron heats up fast and the cool light up blue dial switch is a nice feature that makes you feel it's higher quality if appearance is something you strive for. My daughter and I both used the Hana Flat Iron and both liked it. I liked it more than she did as one of the features is it can provide a curl at the ends if you want that. She thought it was too much curl but I think in time when she gets used to it, she will be able to control the ends better.

Before and After Pictures

Her hair was brushed in the before picture and it's usually much curlier and it's very thick so it takes her a long time to straighten her hair. As you can see in the after picture, her hair is smooth and shiny.

For my hair, I usually dry it first to help the straightening process. I used the Hana Shine Shield first, dried it with a large tooth brush and then used the Hana Flat Iron on it. I liked how I could easily curl the ends and have not found a flat iron I could do that without having a straight lines through it. This was very smooth, easy to use and I liked how my hand fit the form fitting handle with ease and how it didn't burn me if I touched the end wrong.

Recommendation:

Overall, I would highly recommend the Hana Flat Iron for all types of hair since you can control the heat level. It's high quality, backed by a two year warranty and is easy to use. The Hana Shine Shield also left my hair soft and shiny.
