Straightening Your Hair With Misikko

Disclaimer: The flat iron was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

I just wanna say that before I cut my hair, it took a lot of work to get my hair to look like this:


It was compounded by the fact that I was using possibly the worst shampoo known to man, other than head and shoulders that is.

My hair was so bad that when I got my hair cut, my stylist was begging me to never use that shampoo again. She even told me, off the record, which drugstore shampoo to buy instead of buying the salon's brand of shampoo. It was that bad.

So in the midst of my hair woes, before I cut it off, Misikko approached me and offered to help out and send me the HANA Professional Flat Iron.

I'd heard good things about Misikko flat irons and I have their hair dryer, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

My first experience with Misikko and their shipping for my hair dryer was not that great. It took over a month for me to get it so I was prepared to wait around for a while for the flat iron. 

I was pleasantly surprised! The flat iron was on my doorstep within a week, with all the goodies that comes with a Misikko product:


The flat iron is thin with one inch plates, which I like. I don't like the wider plates because then it's hard to get near the top of my head, plus, a flat iron with smaller plates can work for long or short hair.

The plates are tourmaline ceramic which helps prevent frizz, which is something my hair needed desperately with that shampoo and the flat iron itself heats up to 450 and I cranked that baby up! 


It's very easy to use and actually has grips on it to allow it to fit in your hand which I really like. It also heats up really fast. I could turn it on, wait just a minute or so and then straighten my hair!

Here are the results:


Now my hair blow dried in the before picture may not look that bad, but I promise you, it was a built up mess with tangles if I moved my head at all and it was at least two times thicker than it should have been. This flat iron was definitely put to the test on this hair and I think it did a fantastic job! 

After I switched shampoos, I can really tell how the flat iron is working to decrease frizz and make my hair look great. You can see what it does to my new, cut hair with new shampoo in my post here.

I'm definitely glad I've got the Misikko flat iron because it beats most other flat irons I've tried!

What flat iron do you use? Better yet, what shampoo do you use?

I am curious to know what shampoo she told you to use. Yesterday I was at the grocery store, desperate for shampoo and conditioner. So I picked up the $.99 stuff telling myself that it was an emergency. Then I realized I have been doing that for way too long. I love your hair straightened!

Your hair looks fab with the iron! What shampoo were you using? Man I just use whatever. I don't have a hair regimen or anything like that! I've been dying to try this straight iron, because I've always been a CHI girl because I was given one as a gift but it's since broke and I'm having a hard time committing. Thanks for the review!

You're hair looks great. I'm almost ready for a new straightener. I need to learn to clean the hair product off mine regularly so they last longer, but always forget!

Your hair looks awesome!! I didn't have much luck with the hair dryer. It was so-so for me. But I'd love to compare their flat iron to my Chi!

Your hair looks great! Have you tried to curl your hair with the flat iron yet? I had no idea flat irons could curl until I saw a Youtube video on it the other day! :)
