Cordless travel friendly hair straightener/ curler
This is a cute little flat iron that can straighten and curl your hair. It was smaller than expected but larger than my other mini flat iron. The best part of this one is that it is cordless. I've always found cords on hot styling tools quite annoying, even if they swivel, the cord always somehow gets tangled and in the way. This cordless flat iron charges by a micro USB cable which is included. It doesn't have a lock to keep the plates closed but it did come with a silicone ring that slides on around it to keep it closed. The only thing I wish it had was a safety lock so the power switch didn't turn on accidentally. It's a slide switch so if you were traveling with this, there is a very good possibility that the switch would slide to the on position if it was put in a bag or purse. The outside of the straightener doesn't get terribly hot to the touch even at the highest temperature setting but that is still a safety hazard. I don't use this to straighten my hair since I have naturally straight hair already but I use it to curl my hair which works well. My curls were still there when I woke up. My hair never got stuck when using it. There is a comb on the straightener which helps keep your hair smooth. This would be great if it came in a full size version. I knocked one star only because of the potential safety hazard with the power switch. I like the portability of this and it being cordless.
