I made a surprising product discovery that I wanted to share with ya'll. I was thinking about purchasing a HAI or Chi flat iron as I needed something that performed a little better than my current flat iron on my extensions hair. While my current flat iron works VERY well on my own natural hair, it seems that no matter what kind of extensions hair I was wearing (Extensions Plus relaxed texture, Extensions Plus custom, Indian Hair, etc) my flat iron could never "get the job done" quite like my stylist does without a little work on my part, and as a result it would take a VERY long time to flat iron my entire head. So I was in Extensions Plus three weeks ago with another BMH member, and we asked Sonia if their wig stylist would share with us the kind of flat iron she used when styling the wigs. My jaw dropped when she showed me the box.. The flat iron they use?? That's right the Jilbere de Paris™ Ceramic Tools™ Tourmaline Series Flat Iron available at Sally's. Although she showed us the before and after results, I did not rush right out to buy this little gem.. My mind told me that ANY flat iron that did not have fareheit temps on the temp control was not for me (AKA cheap!). I was still not convinced that what I had been looking for was right under my nose all along.. AJ on the other hand, (the girl with me) rushed right out that day to Sally's and purchased it.. She reported back that the results were so good she was letting go of her HAI and her Chi!!! Now I know that AJ is SUPER picky about her hair products so this made this flat iron worth a second looksee for me.. Yesterday I went to Sally's and discovered that the Jilbere de Paris™ Ceramic Tools™ Tourmaline Series Flat Iron was on sale for $30 off the regular retail price ($69). Only $39 for either the 1" or 2". I decided to purchased the 2" model. Yesterday I washed and conditioned my hair and let it air dry. Then when my hair was nearly dry, I sprayed a little Sexy Hair's Soy leave-in conditioner on my hair combed it through and let it air dry the rest of the way. When my hair was completely dry, I ran a blow dryer through just to make sure that any residual dampness was gone. Then I applied and brushed through a little Chi Silk Infusion to my hair, and heated this bad boy up.. I set the temp for one click below the highest setting.. This iron got hot VERY FAST!!! I sectioned my hair and ran the iron over the 1st section. To my surprise this flat iron straightened my hair in ONE PASS!!! I finished my whole head in about 30 minutes. Let me tell you ladies my hair was as straight as my stylist gets it in the salon with a WHOLE LOT less work!!! (AT LAST!!!!) I wanted to pass this along to the ladies who might want a HAI, Chi or Sedu, but aren't ready to put that kind of money down on a good flat iron right now.. I will be going back to get the 1" model tonight.. (before the sale is over of course!! 
) Although, I'm not sure if I even need or want a HAI or Chi at this
point.. This flat iron delivered the results I wanted.. (and it was a
bargain to boot!  )BTW, Sally's now offers extended warranties on all of their hair applicances. http://www.sallybeauty.com/shop/1650/345100 - http://www.sallybeauty.com/shop/1650/345100
Please note that at the HIGHEST setting, I was able to get my hair straight in 1 pass on average. ------------- Check out the 5th So Cal offline luncheon??

It wasn't just great.. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! and to think I was gonna buy a HAI or Chi.. BTW, for those who are interested Sally's is having a sale for breast cancer awareness month.. Buy any of their pink products and get a really cool pink bag.. Among the pink items for sale is their Pink Generic Chi flat iron.. Which I believe is being offered for a special sale price.. ------------- Check out the 5th So Cal offline luncheon??

That's great! I bought a iron at Sallys about a year ago and hated it. I asked for the best they had and it was about $79. It hardly worked and felt like it was ripping out my hair as I used it. I had it 6 days before it broke!! ugh. Thank goodness Sally's is a great company and they gave me my money back. I'm glad you found a good product and I'll check it out next time I'm in there. If I remember the name of the horrible one I tried I'll post that too so no one wastes their time with it ;) -------------  http://www.YourHairShop.com - www.YourHairShop.com

When I left to go buy this flat iron, I told my husband I needed to by another applicance.. he was like "Don't you have that stuff already??" and I told him, "Like your tools, you can never have too many hair applicances!" ------------- Check out the 5th So Cal offline luncheon??

| I have a 4" CHI that works well, but would really like a smaller iron. Is this one of their monthly sales items? |
