You know the ladies with the really frizzy hair back in the 80′s? Well, that is me. I have weird hair that can’t decide if it wants to be curly or straight and so it is just frizzy. I have battled it my whole life and at some point in the early 90′s embraced it. Sometimes I would perm my hair so that it would stay curly, and other times I would take an iron and have a friend iron it straight. In the past few years I have been using a flat iron to straighten it but with my thick course hair it takes a long time that frankly I don’t have time for everyday. It can really be a big pain, but you gotta do what you gotta do to be presentable (thus I wear my hair in a ponytail a lot). I recently had the opportunity to test a professional flat iron from Misikko.
Misikko is a company that specializes in professional hair dryers, curling irons, hair care, skin care and the best flat irons available on the market. They carry brands such as Chi, T3 Tourmaline and Hana Salon.
Here is a little more about the company taken from their website:
Located outside of Philadelphia, a city known for its creative – but practical! – approach to high style, Misikko emerged from a desire we share with many of you: to easily shop and compare the best professional styling tools & beauty products on the market. As beauty aficionados and savvy consumers, our goal is to help you learn about the tools of the trade so you can find the right salon tools & products at the right prices – whenever & wherever the mood strikes.
Misikko sent us the Hana Professional Flat Iron 1″ Pink Edition for me to review. I immediately loved it because it is PINK! A really pretty pink (I love pink)! Included with the flat iron is a Luxe Heat Proof Storage Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat and Special Edition Tin Case. It was packaged so nicely that it would make a perfect gift for any lady in your life. Here are the features of the Hana Professional Flat Iron 1″ Pink Edition:
- Stylish pink edition!
- Advanced Tourmaline Ceramic Plates for Accelerated Ion Generation and Maximum Frizz-Free, Conditioning Shine
- Ceramic is naturally hygienic, protects color & retards fading
- Floating 1” Plates Auto-Adjust To Glide Over Any Hair Texture
- Curved Plate Edges For Versatile Styling – Curl, Flip or Straighten!
- Adjustable Temperature Dial – 5 Settings from 140-450° F for All Hair Types
- Flash Heats in Seconds with Instant Compensation for Heat Loss
- Ergonomic Handle Design with No-Slip Grip
- Smooth Grooves Keep Hair Strands Separate and Snag-Free
- Tangle-Free Salon Quality Cord Swivels 360°; Convenient Hanging Loop
- Energy Efficient at 38 Watts
- Independent On/Off Switch
- Includes Luxe Heat Proof Storage Pouch, Heat Proof Silicone Mat, & Special Edition Tin Case
- Two Year Warranty
I have loved the experience of owning the Hana Flat Iron. This iron has cut my straighting time in half. It heats up to 450 degrees (allowing you to set the temperature) giving me straight hair with every stroke of the wand. My last straightener took me at least 2-3 times from root to end for the hair to be as straight as I wanted it to be (I just know I was really damaging my hair). Here is a picture of me before (I had a long day and wasn’t wearing any makeup so please excuse the photo):
And here are the after photos:
As you can see, the flat iron works really well. I just threw my old one out!

I would like to own the T3 Tourmaline Evolution Dryer.
I could use a full-sized flat iron, and I’d really like to replace my 18-year-old hair dryer with the T3 Tourmaline Evolution dryer from Misikko.
