Gloria Beauty & More

Hello beauties, welcome back on the blog.

It was just a bad week, between the earthquakes and many other problems ... but I try not to think about it, and to discharge my duties I'm writing this post.

Now all too long ago I received this straightener that looks like a brush, something apparently very trendy this year.

In many love this type of product, lots do not see the usefulness or practicality.
I zan say I was in the middle: I understand that the shape should be used to speed up the operation of straightenening hair, but I had never tried one, so ... It's not my habit to express myself before trying a product.
It comes right on cue this collaboration.

Let's say that the shape of this Hangsun brush is almost the original. Over time, in fact, many companies have begun to produce this kind of straightener as well, but differentiating the form.
Here are some examples.

This, despite being fairly trivial, has some special features that I found very useful, and they have definitely caused me to have a positive view of this type of product.

First of all, as you see, the shape is that of a brush with wide, round head, black on the outside but with the smoothing part in lilac ceramic.

The iron seemed generally very safe, since the ceramic teeth are protected by black plastic teeth all around, so that it is impossible with hands burning directly on the ceramic teeth.

Moreover the teeth, both ceramic and plastic, have different lengths, which help both brushing excellently hair, both the straightening.

The teeth are in fact also retractable, thus adapt perfectly to the shape of the head without afford to burn.The skin remains untouched, so the burning risk is 0.
As you see there is only one button on the iron: the button is unique for turning on and off, and I think it is very comfortable, in short: stupid-proof.

When you connect the product to the socket you will hear two beeps and see the edge of the button flashing in red; from that moment you can press the button, which will remain red until the brush comes to temperature.It takes exactly 60 seconds to reach the temperature, which is fixed and not modifiable, of 180 °.This is because theoretically 180 ° are the right ones to obtain a good result without burning and excessively stress the hair.When arrived at 180 ° the button will light green and sound for 2 times: now you can use it.

 I, as you can imagine, do not use this straightener on me that much, because I have pretty short hair; I tried, however, this iron on my sister, who has very thick and strong hair, kind of straight, and on my mother, who has rather fine hair, delicate and brittle as tints and time.
 Plus I tried on my sister this way: first I made her hair curly with another iron, and then I tried to straighten it with this brush.You see everything in the video!

On straight hair however I realized that it dries the hair better, and eliminates frizz. All split ends and excessive swelling due to moisture have disappeared. 
The hair is very soft  and absolutely healthy, not wrinkled, or dry or lifeless. They are indeed beautiful shiny. 
More importantly: this iron does not eat out all the volume of your hair.

Just because there is only one straightening surface , the hair is not compressed between two plates, so it keepa almost, if not sll of the volume. Of course, with very long hair the heaviness of the hair normally tends to flatten the hair on the skin, but this is a different matter.They do not need too many descriptions, in the video you can see everything very well, I think.
Moving on to some practical info ...

The cable of the plate is fairly long, thick and resistant; It folds easily for storage in its box which is magnetized and  where you find also several booklets with information and instructions in multiple languages: English, Spanish, German and French. 

As you can imagine, the plate can not be cleaned while still hot, and you should never leave it on unattended with children nearby, even if the plate has a system whereby after 15 minutes of inactivity it goes into stand-by by itself, starting to cool down. Pressing the power button it reboots and returns to heat up.
The main instructions are anyway:
- Use the plate ONLY ON DRY HAIR; 
- Brush with slow movements from top to bottom;
 - Make sure your hair touch the ceramic surface; 
- Store it only when the surface has cooled down and clean it with a damp cloth, once disconnected from the outlet;
 - Do not use the plate on synthetic wigs or extensions.

Concluding this immense post: I use it often of my mother and my sister, and I will continue to do so because I find much faster and easier to use this, it also replaces the traditional brush. 

The price is not the cheapest, I admit, but frankly I find it right given the quality and endurance. 
I heard and saw dozens of friends  buy similar things for less than 20 €, and after less than a month they were already destroyed. 
I think on hair tools you can not spare that much, and if it is true that I am a lowcost lover, it is also true that you have to pay for good quality, and sometimes you can not do otherwise
.Better -in my opinion- spend 40 € once for a product that works, that € 15-20 repeatedly until you lucky enough to find a good one.

You can find precisely this ironfor 39 € on Amazon, at this link: Hangsun Smoothing Brush - Amazon Shopping 
Being suitable to shipping with Prime and surpassing the € 29 you also have the free shipping.


As always thanks the seller who gave me the opportunity to try the plate and you who continue to follow despite my ups and downs.I hope to be more consistent!Let me know as always if you have tried something like this, if I have intrigued you...
