Amika 1.5″ Solid Ceramic Black Hair Straightener Review

The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener is just the tool needed to straighten hair. This straightener comes in a chic black color that matches any bedroom, vanity, or bathroom decor. The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener contains one-inch ceramic plates that heat up rapidly, in as little as 10 seconds. The temperature is certainly hot enough to straighten even difficult to tame hair. With an internal temperature of 400F (200C), the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener is guaranteed to straighten curly hair, smooth difficult to manage hair, or you get your money back.

The plates are made of tourmaline ceramic which are known by those in the hair industry to be some of the best working plates available on the market. Tourmaline ceramic plates heat rapidly and hold their heat. The tourmaline ceramic plates are also coated with silver using the most up-to-date nano-technology. This coating ensures that hair is not pulled by the silver plates. In addition, coating the tourmaline ceramic plates with silver extends the life of your plates. It distributes equal heat without bothersome hot spots that can cause hair to become frizzed or damaged. The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener also has a nine-foot swivel cord, so that you can plug the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener into an outlet in either your bathroom, bedroom, or vanity and have room to walk and move without being tied to the outlet you use. I found this cord to be especially useful when getting ready for a night out with my friends. We can crowd around the mirror, chat, apply make-up, and do our hair without wrapping one another up in the cord.

In addition, the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener is equipped with ionic technology which not only allows me to straighten my hair, it also allows me to curl my hair under or over and allows me to flip my hair. I no longer need a straightener and a curling iron or hot rollers, because the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener does the job of all three. My hair never gets that burnt smell that I have often noticed when using other hair straighteners. There is a dial for controlling the temperature located on the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener. This feature comes in handy, because I find I don't need a high setting to flip my bangs.

Compared to the hair straighteners I have owned before, some touted as "professional quality", I find that the Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener works just as well, if not better. The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener is also less than half the cost of some I have owned in the past. One best feature is the fact that not only does this straightener smooth and curl my hair, it also gives a lustrous shine to my hair. Recently, someone at work asked me for the secret to my shiny hair. My co-worker thought I was going to the salon each day for a blow-out before coming to work.

I have ultra-curly hair that is past my shoulders and my hair is prone to many fly-aways. The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener allows me to straighten my thick, curly hair in under 15 minutes. It has saved me over 20 minutes on my morning routine. As an experiment, I wanted to see how long my hair would stay straight. On day four, my hair was still shiny, silky, straight, and smooth. The Amika 1.5" Solid Ceramic Black Straightener is one hair tool I will never be without again.
