My Flat Iron

A flat iron is essential in every girls beauty tools, but finding the right one can be such an annoying and difficult process. Normally, I would just throw my hair into a messy bun and hope for the best but recently Ive decided to put some much needed effort and TLC into my hair. Growing up I've always shared a flat iron with my sister since I really couldn't be bothered buying a new and I felt bad asking my parents for a new one haha. My sister and I are pretty similar however, when it comes to hair we could not be more opposite. She has incredibly thin blonde hair that takes about ten minutes to straighten, where I have brown unruly thick hair (some people get all the luck huh). Don't get me wrong I love having thick hair especially when it comes to curling it because I feel like Belle from Beauty and the Beast haha! Anyway my sister uses the standard chi 1-inch flat iron that most girls seem to have but that was just not getting the job done for me. So I finally came to a decision to purchase a new flat iron that would actually straighten my hair and not just kill it.

I went to Ulta with my dad (lucky for him he was blessed with three daughters) to get a new flat iron and I decided on the Croc Infrared Iron and I could not be happier! It is literally perfect for people with thick hair. The infrared portion of the flat iron helps your hair maintain moisture keeping it smooth and silky. It is also safe for color treated hair which was a huge bonus for me because I would notice that with other irons the ends of my hair would become incredibly dead very quickly. This one though leaves my hair silky and smooth! One negative of this flat iron is that it costs a few pretty pennies, originally it costs about two-hundred dollars however with a bit of searching you can find for up to fifty dollars cheaper. However, even with the hefty price tag it really is worth it since it last so long (I had mine for up to two years and it is still going very strong). It also can get very very hot, up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact!  The one thing though that I absolutely LOVE about this flat iron is that it can create effortless curls without kinks in it!!! Usually when I curl my hair with it I dont even have to spray it with hairspray and the curls still last all day long.

Now I am dying to try all of the other croc hair styling products!!!

What is your favorite hair styling tool!?!
