Get your life straight ladies!!






   I have extremely thick, wavy, frizzy, some-what damaged hair so straightening my hair can turn into a nightmare pretty quickly. I've used straighteners in the past where it looked like I just put my finger in a electric outlet. I've used straighteners that claimed to be a "wet to dry" type of thing and that killed my hair and made it look pretty frizzy. I could go on with the negative side effects I've had with straightening my hair but instead I am gonna tell you about a POSITIVE outcome that I've recently had with a hair straightener!!! ⌣




HSI Professional Glider Ceramic Flat Iron




Not only is this hair straightener a beauty but it works even better then it looks! 







My straightner came with Argan Oil conditioner (a one time use sample), a small bottle of Argan Oil Thermal Hair Spray, A heating glove, and a bright red case! I am 100% satisfied with every single product that they sent me. The argan oil thermal hair spray made my hair extremely shiny, smooth, and ZERO frizz! 


This bad boy goes up to 450 degrees which is perfect for someone who has thick wave hair like mine.



BEFORE: Wavy, frizzy hair



After STRAIGHT smooth shiny beautiful hair!





The ceramic plates heat up quickly and they stay hot. I really didn't have to continue going over the same strand of hair over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again..I think you get the picture! My hair looked very healthy, shiny, and smooth. The floating plates have curved edges so that you can either straighten your hair or add a little curl to it. I added a little bit of a curl up on my hair in the front. 

I have seriously zero complaints about this product and would highly recommend it to anyone.

My Review

First and foremost, the scent is perfect. I could be totally ecstatic about a product but if it smells bad chances are I wont be using that product again. This particular mud mask has a citrus herb scent to it and its just lovely. It reminds me of summer time. The scent isn't too heavy or too faint. The Lemon and Lavender essential oils gave me such a calm relaxed vibe. It is the right amount of sweet smelling goodness.

The texture is kind of the downfall for me. It is pretty "watered" down. Normally when I use mud masks I like them to be a litter thicker so that I can get a good amount on my face and it isn't running down my face. BUT with all of that being said I had to remind myself that this product is packed with 100% organic ingredients. That alone can change up the chemistry for any organic product that you use or eat. Pretty much what I am trying to say is that I will take the runny mud mask because I know everything in it is healthy for my skin. 

The directions say to leave the mask on for 10 minutes or until it is dry but my mask never really dried up like normal mud masks. This didnt really bother me though because I could tell that it was working good by the tingly sensations being sent through my face. I dont know about you but I LOVE face masks that have that "tingly" compound to it. It just makes me feel like its really working. 

The masks wipes off SO easily. I loved that part!! I've used face masks in the past that i would just continue scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing and scrubbing to get it off. Needless to say with all that scrubbing going on my face was left feeling really raw and looking very red. Oh yeah and hours later someone mentions that I have something on my chin (leftover mask yuckiness). ANYWAY, this product is NOTHING LIKE THAT! It comes off easily, quickly, its not messy at all, and I had no left over yuckiness going on!

Afterwards my face felt AMAZING!! It was extremely soft. I literally didn't even have to put any face lotion on because it felt so hydrated and moisturized. I felt like I had brand new skin! I was going up to people telling them to just feel my face because it was so smooth I just had to tell everyone about it. They didn't seem to think it was that fascinating but I did!


My Rating 
5 star rating. 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.



I would rate this product at a 4.
 The only reason I would rate this product a 4 is because of how "watery" the product was. With that being said, I absolutely love ALL of the ingredients in this skin care product that it totally makes up for the "thin texture" that it has. This is solely based off of my own opinion. I can be pretty picky when it comes to skincare products.
