(There's a really good coupon site revealed below!)
I have a love-hate r/s with my hair most of the time.
My hair is naturally thick, coarse and frizzy/wavy, especially back in Singapore where the humidity level is off the charts. I am always on the search for anti-frizz hair serums, tools etc.
Trust me. I have ALOT of tools. I own about 4 hair straighteners ranging from Conair to Babyliss and about twice as many curling tongs. I also own the Babyliss Big Hair tool. I am always on the search for a good hair tool that can maintain my tresses.
I really liked the Babyliss Big Hair on most days but the blowdrying makes it extremely frizzy, even with serum, oil, creme whatnot. My Conair flatiron works ok but it makes my hair dull! I like curling my hair but because of my length now, I cant do much curling.
So imagine my immense awe when I tried this that makes my hair go from the Before to After
I dont know about you but I was duly impressed. LOOK AT THAT SHINE. LOOK AT THAT BOUNCE. LOOK AT THAT STRAIGHTENING.
Product
Introducing the NuMe Silhouette Flat Iron! Ok let's talk specs and then I will go into details
Packaging
This comes in a rounded case with all the details printed and it also comes with a manual although I think it is pretty straightforward. The temperature control and on/off switch in located between the iron plates so the outside is pretty sleek.
It has a velvety matte finish (think Nars packaging) and it comes in 5 really stunning colors - Turquoise, Pink, Purple, Black and Cobalt. I got the pink one!
Half my head done! My right side (your left) is how my hair normally looks after wash and dried naturally. I am normally too lazy to blowdry so I apply some oil and let it air dry. However, you can still see some flyaways and frizz.
The left side is after I straightened it. I really love this product. No joke.
Traveling overseas means I want a multi-functioning product that can do everything I want and not add weight to my luggage. The rounded plates means you can curl your hair without the kink, unlike when you curl your hair with a normal flat iron. Curl and straighten my hair with ONE tool? UH, YES PLS.
Can I let you in on one secret?
This product is crazy expensive (to me) at USD$139 and I really would not pay that price. HOWEVER, retailmenot is the best coupon website ever. I have to share the good stuff.
Yes, I have officially turned into crazy-coupon lady. What? They save me tons! Guess how much I got this for.

USD$23.
YES, $23!
well, I had to pay USD$12 for shipping but really, you cannot apply multiple coupon codes so unless you want to apply for free shipping and pay over $100 for the flat iron....I guess you can. Haha I decided I would rather pay for shipping. So overall I only had to pay around USD$35 for this product.
I straightened my hair and curled the ends yesterday afternoon (3pm-ish) and I didnt apply any mist/spray and just left it. Today, (2pm-ish) when I woke up, my hair was still fabulous! It had a nice bounce to it and it looks amazing. I love it. Normally I wake up with crazy bed hair and I have to wash it.
