glass flat iron

[blessed]

Hey ladies I had some money to waste on a Macy's gift card and I picked up this glass flat iron it was like $20.00. I have micros in right now so I can't really try it out. Has anyone tried this before?

I have no idea, but I think that there was another thread on this. Not too many responses though. I'm curious about it as well, I'm going to go and get me a cheap ceramic flat iron in December (something to last me til I get a higher end one). But if the glass one is better I would like to know more about it as well.

Yep- I started a thread a while back and one person responded that they had one(I'm soo sorry I can't remember who it was ) and she said she LOVED hers that her hair gets straighter with a lower heat.
I guess not a whole lot of ladies use glass irons, so you may be one of the very few that we will be watching for results, lol!!

I have one for the sealing ends treatment (Hair Lady) that I use with the tin foil. I like it and true it takes very little heat. Bonjour

Thanks for responding ladies. It's true that it doesn't take alot of heat to straighten. I tried curling my micros with it and it curls nice. Can't wait to use it on my newgrowth.

No they really are not expensive. I got mine at Macy's for like $20 - $22 dollars which is nothing considering how much we spend on our hair a month( or is that just me )
