so i got this new flat iron...

[me-T]

wanted a nice lil tourmaline gadget for my new planned out regimen (a month in the makin...dont laugh...)

got this remington 1" ceramic/tourmaline with teflon covered plates from wal-mart. the teflon supposedly glides through hair better, and resists product buildup. but the more i think about it, the more i wonder how good a hot fabric runnin thru your hair is better than regular hot plates...


btw, it's heat settings are 1-30 with a heat range of 284f-410f. what the heck do i set it to?

Teflon is non-stick though, right? So, I think that would be really good - not only ensuring that your hair got as smooth as possible since it's against a perfectly smooth surface, but also not snagging/catching on your hair and disturbing the cuticles, since it's so smooth.

You've gotta let us know how it works out.... have you used a flat iron with 'regular' plates before?

 

[Supergirl]

I have that flat iron. I think it's great.

 

[me-T]

yeah, and when the heat protectant, no matter how light heats up, the plates get sticky, so you may be right. we'll see...

Oh, really?? Hrmm, I didn't know that - that sucks, because that means there is even more chance of snagging and pulling your hair.

*sigh* I don't think I'll ever wear straight hair - I'm too paranoid!

 

[me-T]

yeah regular plates snag me. so hopefully this nonstick thingy here will do me some good. my hair may even come out sleeker.

I am so sorry for laughing at you. I thought you were kidding. I know what you mean...when we buy toys for the boys, they are under completely tortured waiting for us to get all the ties and wraps and bolts off.
