Way back in January the kind sirs at Misikko sent me the Hana 1.5 inch Titanium Flat Iron to give a whirl and review for all of you bargainistas. Five months later (I needed to give it a proper test run, okaaaay), here I am to dish ....
I think it's important you know that prior to owning the Hana Flat Iron, I religiously used my hot pink Chi Flat Iron. In fact, the Chi and I were in a pretty serious relationship and we were even approaching our 10-year anniversary. That's a long time if you ask me, so I feel bad that I haven't so much as thought about touching my Chi since my introduction to the Hana. I'm sorry Chi, but I'm not sorry.
It's hard to see everything that came in my package, but Misikko hooked this bargain blonde up! In addition to the Hana Titanium Flat Iron, my box was complete with several heat protective travel flat iron cases, thermal protectant Serum, a silicone mat for your counter top, e.l.f. goodies (how'd they know?), hair towel, sleep mask, nail files, etc. Seriously, it was Christmas in January when this box arrived. Being a blogger does not suck. |
So what's so great about the Hana? A flat iron is a flat iron is a flat iron, right? Wrong. My hair is really wavy (especially in the back) so I absolutely cannot get away with an average, run of the mill flat iron. The shiz has to be legit. The Chi works great, don't get me wrong (or else I wouldn't have used it for 10 years), but the Hana works better IMHO.
The titanium plates are the real show stopper here. This particular model has a 1.5 inch plate, which means I can grab more hair at a time. The more hair I can cover per stroke of the flat iron = less time to get ready. Wam, bam, thank ya mam!
I also love that the Hana has an adjustable heat setting. I use the highest setting (450 degrees) when straightening my entire head of hair, but if I just need to smooth out a kink or two to touch up, I can lower the setting to save my hair from unnecessary extreme heat.
They say the proof is in the pudding, so here's my proof.
I wouldn't be singing the praises of the Hana Titanium if I didn't love it so much. I had my Hana with me in the "getting ready" rooms during my friend Courtney's wedding as well as my friend Kristina's wedding back in January and February, and all my besties tested the Hana out. I'm happy to report that they loved it just as much as me.
If you want to get a Hana for yourself, it's on sale right now for $174.99. It's regularly $239.99, so you can save some major dollars! It ships same day, comes with a free 2-year warranty and you'll get these goodies for free:
If you have any additional questions about the Hana, I'm happy to share my experience using this flat iron. Just leave your questions in the comments or e-mail me! Happy Thursday ladies.
OH How I wish those KIND SIRS would contact ME! Lol!! I love Hana!! SO much more than Chi. I have to know - where is Chi now? LOL!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. These HANA people know their shiz. My hair is totally jealous right now. :)
ReplyDeleteyour hair is perfection!
ReplyDeleteI remember your wavy hair in the back. you made me straighten it for you, remember??
ReplyDeleteactually, you probably DON'T.
i don't usually flat-iron my hair but when i was asked to give this puppy a test run i couldn't pass up the offer. and i know if i ever need to flat-iron my hair or a friend's hair i have a winner sitting in my bathroom
ReplyDeletewhat the eff does a blogger have to do around here to get my hands on one of those? really i just want the hair dryer. but beggars can't be choosers i guess.
ReplyDeletehere's to nothing.
Love your face. Love your hair. That is all! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe stuff they send with the flat iron is so awesome . . . and OMG that shine serum smells DIVINE. I won one of these in a giveaway quite some time ago, and I loved it . . . till it up and broke (stopped working). I need to nudge those peeps at Missiko to see what's up, cause it was a good one!
ReplyDeleteAhhh I need one! My hair is naturally wavy too and SUPER frizzy!I may have to invest in one...
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! You're hair looks great Au Natural too, I wish mine did!
ReplyDeleteAgree!!!! I was also asked to review the Hana and yes, sooo much better than the chi. I also LOVE the straightening serum (I see it amongst the other goodies they included (it's in your pic). it seriously is rediculous how much they send... in a good way :) This company rocks and so do their products.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! Love the locks :)
ReplyDeleteI sure do wish Hana would send me one to review! LOL!
You posted this on the perfect day...i was just thinking today how I need a new iron!
ReplyDeleteI love my chi too. This sounds amazing tho! Your hair looks beautiful both straight & curly! Love the shine!
ReplyDeleteI've had my T3 Tourmaline for.ever. I think the cord is about to fall off... I love it, but might just have to upgrade!!
ReplyDeleteI can't stop staring at the plates haha! I'm used to ceramic and the shiny titanium is beckoning!
ReplyDeleteI have a hot pink chi too!! It really doesn't work the best on my curly hair & have been wanting something better I just don't know if I can bring myself to spend the $$ ahh.
ReplyDeleteAmazing post! I love professional straighteners! I own a Karmin titanium, it's also professional and works GREAT.
