Straight is definitely in and I know women who use a flat iron every day. I wonder how much damage is being done by the use of a daily flat iron. I remember how fried my hair used to get when using a curling iron in the 80s and clearly, the flat iron is not better for the hair. Since my hair is already fragile and color-treated, I wanted to find a solution that’s less damaging.

I used to blow dry with a round brush but found it wasn’t easy trying to juggle the brush with the dryer. I always felt like I needed one more arm! After seeing an ad for the Infiniti by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Wet/Dry Straightening Hot Air Styler, I was really intrigued and decided to give it a try.

This is a dryer that dries the hair and straightens at the same time so there’s no need for the flat iron afterwards. It helps to reduced frizz while also taming tangles and adding shine. I have been quite happy with the results! I definitely feel like I’m causing much less damage than I did with my flat iron and can achieve the same straightening and smoothing effect.

If you’re worried about the damage from your flat iron, give the Infiniti by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Wet/Dry Straightening Hot Air Styler a try. You can find it at Drugstore.com.
