Hair Therapy Wrap Product Review

Hi everyone! Today I have a hair care product to review for you all. The Hair Therapy Wrap is great for people who are into using deep conditioners, hot oils, scalp treatments or if you are just looking for an innovative way to restore your hair. I also read that it can be used to activate hair dye! I have never thought of trying this for hair dyes but maybe someday!

I have never heard of this product before and I thought it was really interesting because it reminded me a lot of childhood. (I'm about to go off topic right now.. lol) I remember growing up as a kid I remember seeing my mom use hot oils in her hair. She would put a damp towel in the microwave and wrap her damp hair in it after applying her hot oils. She would then place a plastic bag over her head! So when I started to use this wrap I couldn't help but think of my mom and how much I think she would have loved this product if she knew about it back then. :)

Anyway, as I was saying.. I have been using the Hair Therapy Wrap for about 2 months now and I would use different hair care products from deep conditioners to hot oils. I don't use this wrap that often but I would say I've used this about four times since I've gotten it and I really enjoy using it! My favorite part is rinsing out my hair and being able to run my fingers through it because of how smooth it is! It's kind of rewarding. :)

The Hair Therapy Wrap is intended to be worn up to 20 minutes. I would take full advantage of those 20 minutes especially if you experience dry, brittle hair like I do.. or if you hair is really long line mine. The longer the better. :)

The Hair Therapy Wrap includes:

□ Reusable heated hair wrap

□ Three gel packs

□ Three disposable plastic caps

PROS:

□ Helps deep conditioners penetrate your hair more deeper because of the use of heat.
□ Perfect for all hair types
□ Stays warm for about 20 minutes
□ Reusable
□ Gel packs can be heated in the microwave or in boiling water (I prefer microwave!)
□ Affordable! I know to some it might seem more than what you would want to spend on a hair care product but you get so many uses out of it so I think it is well worth the investment.

CONS:
□ A little bit uncomfortable
□ Feels pretty snug especially if you have a lot of hair like I do.. or I must have a really big head :\

FINAL THOUGHTS:
□  I have noticed my hair looking and feeling a lot more silkier and a lot more shinier. Some might think that this is caused by using a deep conditioner. I do believe that the deep conditioner has been a contributing factor to the overall health of my hair. On the other hand, I did experience my hair feeling healthier for a longer period of time and for that reason I believe was because of the use of the Hair Therapy Wrap. I like the fact that this is meant for all hair types and textures so I think that everyone can take full advantage of this product because all hair can use a little bit love!

HANA Titanium Ionic Flat Iron 1.5" Review

I was very fortunate to try another flat iron from Hana. The first one I tried I had won from a giveaway and I love using that for curling my hair since it's a perfect size (1 inch). This one is a bit larger (1 1/2 inch) so this one is slightly easier to straighten my hair but you could also use this to add curls that are much larger. The Misikko website offers a number of styling tools and hair care supplies including the CHI Turbo and the ever so famous Moroccan Oil! HANAair also released a new professional hair dryer, The Premiere Hair Dryer!

The all new Hana Titanium 1.5" Flat Iron is Hana's first step into the titanium world. With the world's smoothest surface plates, the Hana titanium flat iron has proven to provide up to 80% faster straightening. With a PTFC core heater, the Hana Titanium will not only heat up in as fast as 6 seconds but the Titanium plates will be able to retain this heat better than any other! Beat the humidity and beat those frizzy curls! You don't deserve second best and neither does your hair!

□ Heats up to 140-450° F

PROS:
□ Heats up quickly

□ Different heat settings for different hair types
□ Fast and easy to use
□ Comfortable to hold
□ Smooth edges work great for adding curls
□ Hair felt silky
□ Hair looked shinier and less damaged at the ends
□ Hair doesn't "sizzle" or "smoke" as much as other flat irons

before / after

My hair is naturally wavy and coarse but sometimes it could turn frizzy.

before / after
I tested this flat iron on my mom. Her hair is medium length but more thicker and coarser than my hair.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
□ I've been using this flat iron religiously since I've gotten it. I think it works great and I don't feel like it damages my hair nearly as much as other flat irons I've used. I noticed right off the bat how very little my hair "sizzles" and "smokes" when I use this flat iron. I am so used to seeing steam come out of my hair from flat ironing that I thought it was unusual not see that much come out of it.

□ However, being that my hair is so long, I think flat irons that are 2 inches, at the least, work better for me. I did notice it took a bit longer to straighten my hair since the flat iron had less surface area than a larger flat iron which is what I generally work with.

□ This is the first flat iron I've ever had that straightens damp hair without turning frizzy. I was in a rush one day and I had to flat iron 80-85% dry hair and doing so worked like a charm! In one pass my hair was dry, in another pass it was straight!

□ The flat iron plates are extremely smooth and my hair passes through effortlessly. It's a bit too smooth for curling but perfect for straightening! But I'm not complaining! I'm still trying to practice doing curls with this flat iron. :)

□ I checked around the website to see if it had an automatic shut off which I come to find that it doesn't. I'm guilty for forgetting to turn off my flat irons and hair curlers so it's important for me to know my flat iron will shut off in case I forget!

□ The price can be a drawback but I do have to say that compared to others that I've tried (and I've tried about 7 or 8 flat irons in my life), this is the only one that feels less damaging on my hair but still offered the same results as other flat irons.

HANA Professional Flat Iron Review

I've been lemming this Pink Edition Hana Professional Flat Iron ever since I've seen it being reviewed on a lot of other beauty blogging sites. At the time, I was also looking for 1 inch flat iron so I can do curls with them. I usually straighten my hair with a 1 1/2 inch flat iron so it's way too big to do curls.


I was finally chosen as a giveaway winner so big thanks to Tammy for hosting this giveaway for Misikko for providing this flat iron for me.

Includes: Travel Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat, Shine Shield Styling Therapy & Tin Case

VALUE FOR PRICE: 4/5

→ floating plates allow less tension on your hair
→ easy to see the numbers on the dial (most numbers on flat irons are too small)

→ tourmaline embedded plates which gives your hair shine
→ gives nice curls


CONS:
→ takes time to straighten long/thick hair
→ no auto shut off

OVERALL:
→ I'm really loving this flat iron. I also love the fact that it comes with a heat proof silicone mat which allows me to set my flat iron down freely without burning anything. And I've had really bad experiences with other flat irons burning the paint on my vanity! For a one a inch flat iron it actually straightens my hair just as well as a 1 1/2 inch flat iron would and that's what I usually use for flat ironing my hair. I also love using this for curling my hair. Unfortunately I don't have any picture of my hair curled using this product.

My hair looks so much shinier in the after picture!

This is with no Shield Shine treatment. I love how the tourmaline gives my hair shine.
