standard price is at $49.99 with one guaranteed year

Infrared heat
Like all ceramic-made flat irons, this device for straightening the mane is regarded to be effective in locking in the moisture and shine of the hair. This is through the technology that utilizes Far Infrared Heat.

Negative ions
Another reason why this provides definitely good results on your hair is the amount of negative ions that are produced when the plates are heated properly. The hair is usually loaded with positively charged ions that supply the static electricity on hair making it frizzy and unmanageable.

The negative ions cancel out this effect by first breaking down the water content of the hair into little water droplets whose tiny size can manage to penetrate deep within the hair shaft and cuticle. After that, the negative ions close the small openings and seal in the moisture inside the hair.

The result is a more moisturized hair filled with rich natural color.

Healthier hair
The negative ions can benefit the hair in more ways than one. Apparently, these ions with negative charge also eliminate and kill off any present fungi and bacteria on the scalp and hair, thus promoting healthier hair.

No wonder hair shines after gliding the flat iron on it.

Titanium
The titanium combined with the ceramic accounts not just for an extra enhanced hair style. Moreover, titanium as a hard element also makes the device durable and hard-wearing that can resist corrosion.
