The most amazing flat iron that has ever touched my hair!

It's Sunday and I haven't washed my hair since Wednesday. x_x So when I went to the mall I knew my hair was in bad shape. It was greasy, a little wavy at the ends, and a quick brush didn't do much. I normally use a Chi flat iron and I see so many raving reviews about the Chi but not the Amika. But anyways, on with the story. I had stopped to look at this stand with many flat irons plugged in, only to look at the weird manikin they had. But I had looked too long and a lady saw me looking and got me to sit in the chair to have my hair straightened. I'm not too good at shaking sales people off. So I thought might as well, and sat in the chair. I wasn't thinking that the Amika would change my opinion forever! Once she had straightened a small section I saw the difference and felt it too! My greasy hair was suddenly FRESH, SOFT, and SILKY. I have really bad hair that can't be tamed! But this WORKED. The steam from the flat iron BILLOWED out, so it was very hot by the looks of it because my Chi flat iron doesn't have steam billow out THAT much. I truly wish I had asked her to straighten all of my hair it was that good. It was like I had just gotten out of a salon with clean healthy hair! You know how you will straighten your hair at first and it will feel very silky but it soon wears off? It didn't happen at all! When I left the mall I was still touching my soft, clean, healthy, non-greasy hair (or at least a small section of it.) This flat iron is amazing and I plan on owning one. I thought I would write a review on it because I truly saw what it had done for my hair. All she used was a small brush, a clip to separate my hair, and the flat iron (this same gold flat iron pictured above) I will DEFINITELY get an Amika flat iron! I'm only 15, and when it comes to straightening hair I'm terrible. When I use my Chi flat iron and then I walk up to the bus stop my hair isn't straight anymore and just curls at the ends. But when I walked out of the mall into the hot and very humid weather, my hair was still soft and managed to keep straight! It's been hours now since my hair got straightened and as I type this review it is STILL soft and straight :) I am so glad I stopped to look at the weird manikin because I now know what flat iron works best for me!
Amika Wet-To-Dry Styler-Great so far!

I purchased one of these stylers at Christmas and have used it 4-5 times a week...some on my wet hair-straight from washing it & towel drying, and some on my dry hair. I have incredibly thick hair, wavey, mid-back length, and I LOVE the product so far. It works very well, heats quickly. Be CAREFUL though-the iron is insanely HOT and your hair will be insanely HOT just after running the iron down it-it will burn you. The plates will occasionally pull a few hairs out, but I think any flat iron will. My sister has thick, SUPER curly hair and it does a great job on hers as well-if this iron will straighten her hair-it will straighten anyone's. It seems to make it so shiney & soft too! Thanks for a nice product!
