One Styling Tools: Crush 1” Flat Iron Review- Say Bye-Bye to Boring!

Even though I’ve had straight hair since the day I was born, I’ve been straightening it with flat irons since I was in high school. Flat Irons aren’t just for those with a head of massive curls or even wavy hair. I use them to add shine to my hair and tame the unmanageable, unruly frizz that my hair has.

One Styling has plenty of Styling Products that will leave you open mouthed and drooling. They aren’t just gorgeously designed but high quality and affordable as well. Inside a very small package arrived the flat iron of my dreams.

I was sent the One Crush 1” Flat Iron to review. Everyone knows that lime green is my go-to favorite color of all time. I was super excited to see that they had a white flat iron with lime green plates. “Ahhhhhhhh… I just imagine the birds singing me my very own song.”

My hair has definitely been thanking me since I’ve started using the Crush One 1” Flat Iron. My hair looks and feels so amazing, shiny, and smooth. All the frizz from the humidity of the summer is long gone, thank God because I was beginning to think I was related to Simba and deserved a role in the Lion King. With this flat iron all the frizz is gone and all that’s left behind is remarkably gorgeous hair.

This flat iron has an off/on switch on the inside and a red light comes on to let you know that it’s been turned on. It also has a temperature dial on the inside as well, which ranges from 140* to 450*.

It seriously makes me feel like I could walk onto the set of a Pantene commercial and steal the spotlight. My hair just looks so sleek and silky now and it’s completely effortless! My hair is straight but it also very stubborn. I crank that dial up all the way up to 450* and give it a minute to work it’s magic and get super hot!

I absolutely love the fact that it takes me less than 15 minutes total to straighten all my hair. This is a high quality flat iron for a third of the cost of the others yet works just as great as they do if not better. It’s excellency at it’s best.

Other flat irons usually snag and pull my hair. It makes me feel like I am going half bald and might be all the way bald at some point if I kept using them. My mom has short hair and some that pull my hair don’t pull hers, so it might be the fact that my hair is super long.

This flat iron is ideal for all hair types thanks to the wide temperature range. You would use the lowest temperature setting (140*) for very thin or short hair. If  you have extremely thick, unruly, or curly hair you’ll need to kick it in high gear and use it on the highest temperature setting (450*).

It traps in the moisture, so you don’t ever have to worry about it damaging your hair or drying it out. I love that fact that it seems to suck the dullness right out of my hair. It definitely adds a ton of shine while making my hair look healthy and beautiful. It seems to have magically bottled up sunshine and delivers it to each strand every time I flat iron my hair! AMAZING!

I couldn’t be happier with this flat iron if I tried! It fits in my hand perfectly. I don’t have to worry about it slipping out of my hand and accidentally burning me. I love the fact that the on/off switch and temperature dial are on the inside of the flat iron so I don’t accidentally turn it off as I’m fixing my hair.

Flat Iron Experts- Avanti Wet/Dry Flat Iron Review. Make Getting Out the Door In The Morning Easier

Flat Iron Experts has the best prices (HANDS down) on everything you need to get your hair the way you want it! Flat Irons, Curling Irons, hair dryers, hot rollers, and hair/nail care! I received the Avanti Wet-Dry Nano-Titanium Ceramic Silver Digital Flat Iron.

For many years, flat irons have smoothed out our ever frizzy humidity inspired locks, curly cues, or non-manageable hair! Most can even tame the most curly, coarse hair and make it look presentable and beautiful!

This flat iron combines Nano-Titanium, Nano-Ceramic, and Nano-Silver. This means that it will heat up in a VERY short amount of time, and distributes the heat evenly throughout the two plates. THIS is a good thing because those that DON’T will make “heat spots” in your hair and can eventually cause extreme damage and breakage.

The Nano-silver keeps bacteria from growing within or on the flat iron plates. This is ideal for those who frequently share hair tools or a hairdresser that uses their flat-iron on many people. Believe it or not, using someone else’s hair tools could give you an infection or bacteria that will grow on your scalp. This flat iron prevents that from happening. It’s like sterilizing scissors or combs/brushes after someone else uses it!

This is a very advanced technology flat iron. It’s like switching from a regular T.V. to a flat screen, a regular laptop to a touch-screen laptop. It’s that much different, and you can immediately tell with the first use.

You can use this on damp or semi-damp hair to finish the drying process. The unique "Wet to Dry" feature allows you to flatten your hair while Wet to save time. Avanti AVCROC’s Infrared Heat technology dries hair from the inside out, so it will crackle and stem. It will make it sound and look like your head might just catch on fire. IT will not however, actually catch fire.

ALWAYS make sure that you’re using a heat protectant spray before you use ANY hair tool with heat (blow dryers, curling wands, flat irons) but especially wet/dry flat irons. Even though this has advanced technology, which will cause LESS damage than using a regular flat iron—ANY heated styling tool will cause damage overtime.

Flat Iron Experts sent me the KQC Thermal Shine. I love how it makes my hair look soft and shiny without looking oily or greasy, It doesn’t leave behind any residue and works amazingly well! It defends the hair follicles from the heated styling tools you use. You can use it before straightening, curling, or even blow-drying.

I love that this is digital. I can see what temperature the flat iron is at. I don’t have to guess what it’s at, like the ones that have the spinning dial. As you can see, it has up/down buttons, so you can adjust the temperature so that it’s right for your hair.

Thicker/coarser hair needs a higher temperature to straighten their hair. I don’t have thick or coarse hair, so I love that I can just turn it down 100*, so that it doesn’t overheat my normal hair. It heats up in no time at all. I don’t have to plug it in and then complete something else while waiting for the flat iron to heat.

I love the way that they placed the finger grippers right below the flat iron paddles. This makes it easier for me to get a good grip on the flat iron. It helps with successfully getting the hair straightened on the first go-around.

It is SO easy to use! There is also a really long cord, which I also like. I hate being confined to a small space. If you have a vanity in your bedroom and the cord is short, yet the plugin isn’t close—you’ll have some issues without a long cord!

See how much better my hair looks without all the creases and bumps? It takes me less than 10 minutes to straighten my entire hair and then I’m out the door and on my way!

Beauty Review: HSI Professional 1” Digital Ceramic Infrared Flat Iron WorldWide Edition

One hair style that will NEVER go out of style is straight. I am more than likely to wear my hair straight almost 6/7 days out of the week. Sometimes I might flip out the ends, curl it, or wear it “beach wave sexy”. But it’s just easier for me to wear it straight!

This flat iron has shown me AGAIN and AGAIN how irreplaceable it is to me in my hair styling needs. I usually blow dry my hair and then straighten it. With the HSI Flat Iron I don’t have to blow dry it if I don't want to. I can wash my hair and let it air dry the night before and just straighten it in the morning before heading out the door.

I love that it is digital. It is so easy to just plug-in and push the button to turn it on. Then you can press the 450* button and it will start heating up and reach 450* within just a minute. It impressed me with just how quickly it heats up to the desired temperature, so I can get to work on my hair!

You can adjust the temperature of course. If you don’t want it to get to the full 450* it has a + and – button as well, so you can decrease it to whatever temp is right for you.

I love the fact that although it reaches a very high temperature the outside of the hair straightener doesn’t get hot. I love that I don’t have to wear a heat protective glove just to straighten my hair. Usually when a flat iron gets this hot the plastic will get hot as well, making it hard to use with bare hands.

It comes with a heat glove just in case, but I never have had to use it. I use it at the highest and still it doesn’t get so hot on the outside that I need it. They send it just for a precaution.

I also like the fact that it has a safety feature built in. I don’t know how many times I’d plug in the straightener and then have to clean up a mess the kids made or do something and totally forget for about 10-15 minutes that it was plugged in and turned on.. when I came back- it would be flashing red and signaling that it shut itself off because it was on too long without being used! THAT is awesome!

This is BY FAR the best flat iron I’ve ever owned. It takes my dull, frizzy hair and transforms it into a shiny, beautiful, manageable head of hair. My hair looks absolutely awful if I go to sleep with my hair wet, but sometimes I just don’t feel like blow-drying it.. with this flat iron I can hit the sack and not worry that my hair will look a mess in the morning!

I also love that it can work on any voltage. If you travel this is a good thing. Hotels, Motels, Cabins, and places outside the U.S. might have a lower or higher voltage tolerance. This flat iron will work everywhere you go! I love that it comes with it’s own travel pouch!

The plates on the straightener line up AMAZING, I’ve had several flat irons that would grab and pull my hair instead of straightening it.. and OUCH! This didn’t though, it went through my hair very smoothly without it yanking.

I have really long hair, and I don’t have an issue getting from root to end. I love that it doesn’t damage my hair. It has ceramic ionic system with an infrared technology. This means that it doesn’t just heat up the top layer of the hair.. it goes to the center of the hair follicle to straighten it and eliminate frizz.

It also doesn’t leave hot spots in the hair, which is what causes damage over time. The infrared protects the hair from overheating. My hair looks so healthy, shiny, and smooth.

I also like that it not only has a 360* swivel cord but it is really long. SO no matter where a plug-in is located, you can still straighten/curl/flip your hair in front of a mirror.

Pictures are 1(Top left) Flipped in to frame face 2 (top right) flipped out and bottom.. a Curl made using the flat iron!

To flip it out you do as you see above. Run the flat iron all the way through your hair until you get to the ends and then flip up with the iron. To flip it in do the opposite.. roll it under instead of up.

and to curl the hair with a flat iron--

Like before.. Run the flat iron through your hair until you reach the ends, and then roll your hair up like you would with a curling iron and then slowly pull down.

 

and here is my curl!

and I’ve even started straightening it even if I’m wearing it up! Nice, huh?

I give this flat iron a 10/10!

Review: ONE Styling- Crush Mini Flat Iron

One Styling is a very innovative styling tool company. They have everything you need to look beautiful right at your fingertips. Blow-dryers, Flat Irons, Curling Rods, and accessories.

I was very fortunate to get to work with them on a review of their Crush Mini Flat Iron. I love that they offer a color variety in most of their products. Of course you KNEW I’d flip out over the lime green.

I love that the flat iron heating part is colored. Makes it SO  unique, and looks so good on my bathroom counter! There are 3 other color selections in the Mini Flat Iron other than the one you see above. They have Raspberry (pink), Silver, and Black.

I absolutely LOVE this mini flat iron. It adds a little oomph to my hair styling! It heats up VERY quickly. As soon as I plug it up, it’s hot within 30 seconds! I love that I don’t have to wait to get styling.

Usually I can be pretty lazy after I get out of the shower or bath. I’ll just throw my hair up in a bun and go to bed. The next morning- I wake up like this!

So, as you can see- I desperately need help taming my mane after a night of not wanting to blow-dry it. DO not let the name “MINI” confuse or fool you. As long as my hair is, I can easily straighten my hair with this! ABSOLUTLEY no problem at all.

The smallness of the flat iron makes it easier for my hands to grip. This also makes it really easy to get real straight hair without the frumps! The best thing about it is that it automatically calibrates heater based on hair texture.

So if you have thin hair, it decreases the heat, so that you aren’t at risk for being burned. If you have thick hair, the heat increases so that you are getting ALL of your hair and not just the top layers!

This is what my hair looked like AFTER straightening with the Crush Mini Flat Iron, which is amazing since I have SUCH long hair.

It has Tourmaline technology to provide maximum negative ionic output to lock in moisture and eliminate static and frizz. Tourmaline technology provides maximum negative ionic output to lock in moisture and eliminate static and frizz.

BUY IT: You can buy the Crush Mini Flat Iron in four different colors for only $30.
