Revlon Essentials Ceramic 1-1/2" Flat Iron, Black

I mostly have straight hair but it waves in the back. I already had a curling iron which I rarely used; so this time I wanted to try a flat iron. I really like my new Revlon ceramic. The plates, themselves, are 2" wide. You just turn it on, set the temperature and wait for the light to stop blinking. It heats in seconds. It allows me to make a quick job of my hair style and the ceramic heats evenly. My hair follicles are fine and hair volume is medium thickness. I wanted a flat iron to accommodate it with a sustaining 300 to 350 degrees. This Revlon iron easily does that. It's maximum temperature is 400 degrees. It has an automatic shut off for safety in case I leave it plugged in as well as an on and off switch. When I use it, I make sure my hair is bone dry and I don't have any product on it to melt into my hair follicles. I learned that with my curling iron- if your hair steams or sizzles- stop immediately. Although my hair is gray now, I colored it for 20 years and it really dried it out. When I stopped coloring, I decided to baby it; so whatever I do to my hair, I do carefully. I gently apply heat from the flat iron. I part my hair in the back and pull it forward and taut. I let the ceramic plates glide quickly over my hair and try not to repeat for the protection of my hair. I love the way my hair looks after its ironed and it generally stays that way all day.

Revlon has truly created the perfect Flat Iron with unbelievably fast results! This Flat Iron is packed full of great features! It has a really nice sleek black design and a little light that flashes on the side to let you know when it is heating up. When it is ready to use... the light will quit flashing. Heat up is super fast...like within a minute or so. I can plug my Revlon Flat Iron in and turn it on and by the time I am done drying my hair, it is ready for use. I love the tangle free swivel cord because my makeup table has several cords plugged in around it and my Revlon Flat Iron never gets tangled up like a lot of my other cords do. It has 2" grip plates that eliminate any open gaps and glides gently down my hair while going through the straightening process. It also has a nice plate-locking switch that helps with space saving and is perfect for my small storage space on my makeup table. It also has an automatic shut off after 1 hour. That is a feature I have never seen on any Flat Iron that I have ever owned before. This Flat Iron heats to 400 degrees so if you have fine hair like mine, make sure you turn the knob in the middle of the Flat Iron to low before you proceed with using it. I was shocked to see how hot it got! If you have thick hair...this is the Flat Iron that you need because it will straiten your thick hair very quickly! Fine hair or thick hair, Revlon ceramic coating will protect your hair with less damage and I am thrilled to have this fine addition added to my daily makeup routine!
