Flat Iron in Style with One Styling Crush Flat Iron

I’m Crushing on my Crush Flat Iron – Flat Iron in Style

By: Ashley

Recently, in a small package, came the hair tool of my dreams – a pink Crush Flat Iron. I used to think that flat irons were just for people with curly hair. I thought they were for making your hair straight… like flat as a board straight. WRONG-O! I learned that lesson at my sister’s wedding.

I was in a rush trying to do all of the maid of honor duties: calm the bride, get my little guy ready to be the ring bearer, put the finishing touches around everywhere… you get the point. I realized I had NO CLUE what I was going to do with my hair – my hair that had been crazed by the beach wind and southern humidity. That’s when it happened. A friend of mine was there and said she could flat iron my hair. In such a short amount of time, my hair went from crazy to GORGEOUS. I fell in love. I fell in love with flat irons.

So there I was. I knew flat irons weren’t just for people with curly hair, I knew flat irons could make your hair look like you’d had a celebrity style blow out, but what I didn’t know was what kind of flat iron was a good flat iron. That’s when I heard about Crush Flat Irons. These flight irons have floating beveled plates which help you keep the control you want as you’re styling your hair. They have a really wide temperature range, so they’re great for any hair type. (Though I’m still trying to figure out what temperature is best for what hair type…) They even come with dual voltage! You should probably also know that the Crush Flat Irons from ONE Styling come in 1” or as a mini for travel. One of my favorite things about my new flat iron? (Outside from it’s awesome hair-taming super power of course…) is its great color! Gone are the days of boring, dull hair styling tools. Crush has a line of flat irons and blow dryers that can spice up your bathroom… AND your hair!

Yep, they make blow dryers that are just as amazing (and flashy) as their flat irons! The Crush Dryers have variable speeds and temperatures. They’re ergonomically designed AND have extra long cords! That’s a huge plus for any hair dryer in my book! Crush Dryers also minimize heat damage because of their gentle infrared heat. It safely penetrates the hair follicle which helps keep your hair healthy.

So, back to flat irons… what does my Crush Flat Iron REALLY do? I went out on a date night with my husband the other night and didn’t have very long to get ready. I had just let my hair air dry during the day, but really wanted to look nice that night. With no products and NO other tools except my Crush Flat Iron, I took about 10 minutes and transformed myself… and my hair.

NuMe Professional Hairstyling Tools & Hair Products

My hair is straight to begin with; but, I find using a straightener adds shine and body to my hair and my flat limp hair can use a lot of body. NuMe recently sent me a new straightener, and wow, I had no idea what a “NICE” straightener was capable of.

The NuMe Vintage Limited Edition Straightener pictured above heats up in 6 – 10 seconds up to 410 degrees F. The Tourmaline-infused ceramic plates prevent damage to your hair and the negative ion technology reduces static and frizz providing even shinier more manageable hair. The Rounded Barrels help me to create curls and since it’s so hard to take a photo of myself, I used Zoe as an example of how easy it is to curl our hair.

I was able to curl her hair in less than 10 minutes and for a little girl that doesn’t like to sit still to get her hair done, but insist upon getting her hair done the Vintage Limited Edition Straightener saves me a headache. The Vintage Professional Styling Iron is NuMe’s best selling classic professional styler. It is the original 100% solid ceramic iron that brings shine and luster back to the most course or wispy hair. With its rounded barrel design, it’s ideal for transforming your hair to any glamorous look – silky straight, voluminous waves or perfect curls. Great for all hair types and quite easy to use.

Create Your Hair Style with Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling Iron

Yes, my hair is naturally straight and you might think I don’t need a Flat Iron, but even I see an added benefit when I run a flat iron through my hair. My hair as more shine lift and bounce after running a flat iron through it.

Not only do these straighteners straighten my hair very well but they also allow me to curl it. What did I just say? Yes, I’m serious. I was in the mall a couple weeks ago by myself, no kids and I sat down at one of those kiosks that have Best Hair Straighteners to choose from. I sat down and the lady there curled all of my hair in seconds. My hair was longer than it is in that photo of me, and I was shocked at just how curly it was. I had ringlets, and it was all done with a straightener. I wanted to buy one right then and there.
