xtava Time to Shine Steam Straightener - Professional Salon Flat Iron with 1 Inch Ceramic Tourmaline Plates and Conditioning Hair Steamer - Includes 60 Min Auto Shut Off Swivel Cord Storage Pouch

Liked: 5 stars for quick and easy to use, hair felt silky smooth.Dislike: It just stopped working after 5 years. I’m sad!

Muy buena compra, mi cabello es entre quebrado y ondulado. Si plancha el cabello, no te lo deja súper super lacio, pero si hace su trabajo, funciona muy bien la parte del vapor. Y cuando utilizas antes del planchado un protector de calor, queda mejor el cabello.Incluso puedes hacer ondas con esta plancha

My hair has a slight curl. It took so long to straighten and made my hair look frizzy. Tried to return the product from it being over a week late with delivery and they make you pay a 20% restocking fee and you have to pay for shipping back too.Went and spent the money on the L’Oréal steam pod! AMAZING!!! So fast to straighten my hair, feels and looks amazing. You definitely get what you pay for with these types of products.

For the past year, I have been transitioning from a relaxer and have 4b-4CCCC (DEF, lol ) hair. The crown of my head is very thick and coarse and the line of demarcation can be tough to work with. After having worn braids for the last two months, I was a little apprehensive on wearing my hair down and was NOT looking forward to trying to tackle this hair. After washing and blow-drying my hair- it was stiff but fairly straight. It reminded me of a ponytail that my mom used to do with my hair when I was like in the 4th grade.I didn't have much faith in the product- hence the splurging of the $10 iron- but decided to try it anyway. Despite the iron coming with a pipet for water, I just turned the faucet on to a drip and filled it that way with water, which worked fine. I section a smalled part of my hair and flat ironed it. I pulled it through my hair a bit too slowly which caused my hair to get a bit wet (more so damp) but it was actually straight. I tried to do this first section doing the chase method with another product that I bought to help hold my hair as I flat ironed it- but it was too cumbersome and the other product did not work well.I tried another section still using the chase method but this time with a brush....OHHHH MG :)I loved it! My hair was so soft and the only product that I used was a tresseme thermal heat protectant. I did each quadrant of my hair and the more that I worked through my hair the more I loved it and the easier and faster the process became. I did not use any other heating tools and left my hair straight for the day.After getting the hang of it- I literally only did one pass on each section, with the exception of my crown area which needed 2 in some spots for my roots. By this time I called my sister on Facetime to share with her and show her- we were both amazed!.As the day progressed, my hair didn't really frizz but it did poof up but the amazing thing was that my hair (roots) did not revert back with the Memphis heat. I did end up pulling the top back while leaving the back part down. My hair remained soft and pretty straight for the day. I wrapped it at night and this morning it looks good. As I said I am transitioning from a relaxer with hair that is just past my shoulders- I was really pleasantly surprised and delighted to find something that will make my journey a bit easier as I rotate styles.
