Last week, I had the pleasure of using the Hana Professional 1.5″ Flat Iron given to me by Misikko. I had read Tweets and reviews by other bloggers, so I was very excited when they contacted me. The flat-iron came in a very nicely arranged and beautifully decorated care package, along with lots of little surprises.
Nestled in a tin case, the Hana iron also came with a heat-resistant storage bag and a silicone heat proof mat, both of which are ideal for traveling. It also came with Shine Shield, which is an advanced lightweight leave-in treatment that protects your hair from heat styling. Finally, there were a couple of make-up goodies from Elf, nail files and a sleep mask. I could have taken this package anywhere!
Once I tried it, I was impressed. I didn’t really include any before and after pictures because my hair is not particularly wavy, so the visible difference wouldn’t be as apparent. The true beauty of this flat-iron is in how my hair felt after using it.
Because of the thickness of my hair, I usually blow dry it, add product, then style with a flat-iron. When I used the Hana flat-iron, I immediately felt how conditioned and smooth my hair felt. I have had problems with other straighteners where it made my hair feel coarse or slightly burned. But because my hair came out feeling nearly moisturized, I didn’t feel at all like I used any kind of styling tool.
The real test was when I tried it after I let my hair was air dry. Since I’m growing my hair out, this is what I worry about the most because I know blow drying will only be done when I am going to work due to time constraints. Again, I was impressed at how straight my hair was and how conditioned it felt. I didn’t really even need to add that much product, which would be a cost savings in the long run.
If you are looking for an easy to use styling tool that conditions your hair as you use it, I think the Hana Professional 1.5″ Flat Iron is a great product. This iron normally sells for $214, but is currently $129 on their website and comes with a travel pouch and heat pad. For Any Second Now readers, you can get an additional $10 off for any orders over $100 with the code Any2nd. Click on the picture below to take you directly to their site. Happy styling!
