My New Hair Straightener

June 23, 2016

I have the thickest wavy hair on the planet.  Not a good kind of wavy, in my opinion.  I never wear my hair wavy though.  About 15 years ago I discovered the incredible invention of hair straighteners aka flat irons.  What did we do before this invention?  Most of us just had “big” wavy hair that we hated!  You’re lucky if you don’t know what I’m talking about.  LOL!

A few months ago I received a new hair straightener called the Hair Titan from a company called Mia Adora.  The Hair Titan is an extremely lightweight one inch wide flat iron.  It uses advanced nano titanium technology, which gives hair a smooth and silky look.  The plates are longer (4.5 inches) than those found on most other straighteners.  They’re the floating type.  The cord swivels, therefore it doesn’t get tangled up when in use.  And most importantly to me and my thick coarse hair, this flat iron quickly heats up to 45o degrees.  I need this extra hot temperature to tame my crazy hair.

The Hair Titan

I love the packaging of the Hair Titan!

The digital display shows the temperature of the iron.

The Hair Titan flat iron has an automatic shut off safety feature.  This is great for those of us who occasionally forget to turn off our styling tools (especially the hot ones).  Mia Adora offers an amazing 2 year warranty plus a 30 day money back guarantee.  That’s a great way to know that a company really does stand behind their product.

Smooth and silky hair after using my Hair Titan

I haven’t used this straightener with any of the many heat protectant sprays that I own.  However, I imagine that would help tame the slight frizz that I still have on my hair due to some new growth and broken hair.  I also didn’t apply any creams or oils to my hair after straightening it like I usually do.

Verdict:  I’m loving this flat iron! 

Pros:

  • the plates are smooth and don’t tug or pull as my hair glides through them
  • the plates are longer than some other irons that I’ve used, therefore I can straighten a larger section of hair with each pass
  • the cord swivels 360 degrees so it doesn’t get tangled
  • the high temperature capability of this flat iron is what I need for my thick coarse hair
  • the 1 inch size can be used to curl hair too (if you’re coordinated – I am not!)
  • great warranty – they stand by their products

Cons:

  • because my hair is so thick I have to make several passes to the extra curly spots with the iron to get my hair completely straight
  • a little bit pricey at $97
  • can only be purchased on Amazon (not necessarily a con – you just can’t go to the store to purchase one at this time).

You can see Hair Titan and the Mia Adora products on Amazon HERE.  Also, visit their Pinterest profile to see some of the best beauty pins I’ve ever seen!!

    Awesome transformation with that flat iron! But I like your hair both ways – the waves are gorgeous and the straight looks great too!

    Your hair looks great! I like the digital temp reading on this. The ones I have don’t have that benefit.

    The difference is enough to convince me that this is great. I love that it has an automatic turn off since I’ve left mine on so many times by mistake. I shop constantly on Amazon so that’s not a con for me.

    Yes… this sounds like something nice. I have several straighteners and some take forever to do my hair… it’s bad enough it takes hours sometimes to get my hair done because of my length. This sounds nice.

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!
