Hey Hey! As you can tell by the title I will be sharing some of my recent pick-ups for when I straighten my hair. It's getting chilly outside so you will find me with straight hair a little more often than you would in the summer months. Ya'll know when my hair is curly I am a wash and go girl so I airdry and go about my business. With the temperature changing and my schedule becoming more demanding, wash day takes a little more planning and effort. I still wear my wash and go in the fall/winter months however sometimes like now...I like to make my life a little easier by just straightening my hair.
Of course when I decide to style my hair this way I take extra precautions to avoid heat damage etc. My goal is always healthy hair in any state. Recently I found that my hair has gotten a tad bit thicker and not to mention my flat iron was old and with 1" plates. I quickly realized that because my flat iron didn't heat up that well and it was smaller, it took way longer than I liked to do this process. So I begin my search for a new flat iron that was 1 1/2 " and heated to at least 420 degrees as we know hair burns at 450. (Pro-tip) Recently I was able to find a flat iron that was affordable and met my size and temperature requirements. Keep reading to find out why I chose this product.
I decided to purchase the GVP 1 1/2 Inch Ceramic Flat Iron from Sally Beauty Supply. This product was a great price and it came with all the capabilities I needed to have a sleek look and reduced risk of damage in the process. The flat iron goes up to 450 degrees which means that's when it is the hottest. I will have it set at about 410-420ish to further prevent heat damage. I run the flat iron through my strands only twice so it was imperative that I have a flat that facilitates silk and shine. I am beyond excited to use my new product.
Details
The GVP 1-1/2" Digital Ceramic Flat Iron has an ergonomic design and curved edge plates to create any style from straight to curly and everything in between. A powerful heating element and 5 heat settings give you the power to create the style of your dreams. This GVP styling tool uses Far Infrared Ceramic plates that maintain an even temperature all the time, eliminating damaging hot spots that can cause damage and breakage to the delicate hair strands. This ceramic technology also produces negative ions that seal the cuticle, repels humidity and locks in hair color to help resist fading while smoothing and straightening. The lightweight ergonomic design is also squeeze sensitive to help style hair with minimal tension with no pulling or tugging.
GVP is Sally's generic product brand and this flat iron is actually comparative to the CHI 1 1/2 Flat Iron however, it is way cheaper. While I was there to purchase my flat iron, I also indulged in some of their other products. I purchased my favorite Paul Mitchell Serum that I've been using for years as well as a GVP product comparative to the Kenra Blow Dry Spray. These products have the same consistency, smell and ingredients as the original products however, they are way more affordable. For someone like me who only has their hair straight a few times a year, it's a great alternative to spending loads of money on products you don't use as often.
Overall I am pleased with my pick-ups and I encourage you to browse the GVP section at your local Sally's Beauty. They actually have a sale lasting through the end of the month. Thanks for reading!
Peace & Good Vibes
