i wanted something new, so i cut it @ Hair Cuttery on Halsted b/c i got a free $25 hair cuttery gift card rom Coke (coke rewards). I asked for Emma Watson. she gave me 70's curl.
two weeks later, Fee asks me 2 go 2 her hair stylist in china town to cut it again. her treat since she rarely sees me, and i'm unhappy w. it.
and in the end, i'm still unhappy. i wake up everyday with my hair all over the place.
so i decided to buy a flat iron. this is so funny. an asn girl using a flat iron. lol.
but yea.
i searched and searched. here are my results. and my story.
i @ first researched @ Ulta's but i had to wait for the 20% coupon to come in (=$5 for the flat iron i wanted) since they normally just mailed in the $3.50 coupon. but the 20% comes in few and far between.
so i went to Walmart even though i don't shop there because it was what i could think of. and it turns out, all of the local walmarts didn't carry a LOT of the flat irons. the good news? they ship online items to stores free, AND shipping to home is only 97 cents!! Plus, walmart has the CHEAPEST prices. the thing is, they don't have ALL of the flat irons out there.
Next move? target. but they didn't have the prices walmart had, even though i have a target store really close 2 my house.
the Andis flat iron was their best seller and only $13!!
@ target, it sells for $19.99!
@ ulta, the cheapest flat iron was $19.99!!
but i was suspicious of something that cheap, even though the ratings were good. so i moved on.
the Next flat iron i found:
the Conair 2'' Wet/Dry flat iron w/ an Omega curve for flipping
hair, which i really liked b/c
1. i can use it on wet hair. i've always been really concious of
damaging my hair
2. i can STYLE my hair w/ it--i can do something else w/ it BESIDES just straighten it.
the Dream Flat iron:
this is the conair 2-in-1 curler/straigtener. it looks SOOO nice--curl, flip, and straight!! but it got very mixed reviews, so i My Last Stop:
dropped that idea.
the Remington Wet 2 Straight 2'' curved plated flat iron. b/c i can use it on wet/dry hair, AND it had curved plates, i loveed it.
unfortunately, walmart did not have it. target did though! for $28
With all these choices, i had 2 get a second opinion. So i googled, "flat iron review" and flatironreview.com did not help at all because they didn't have a lot of people, and the range of items reviewed was limited.
so i found Buzzillion!! It's AMAZING!! but still not as big as i'd like... each flat iron only had about 40 ish reviews.
verdict: i bought the REMINGTON 2'' Flat Iron w. Curved Plates from Walmart for $28. Free shipping site to store.
but shipping it took a riduculous amount of time. i mean, i spent HOURS looking for the right flat iron: what i need, kinds out there, comparing prices, then it tells me it will take a WEEK to arrive to the store.
but i got it, and read my rave on it here.
