Misikko Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron 1" Review & Giveaway CLOSED

First of all, just to clarify, styling your hair using heat will damage it. Putting heat directly on live tissue will always damage it, but the time that it would take for the damage to occur and the extent of the damage depends on the quality of the product you're using.
Here are some of the features of the Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron:
- Ceramic plates for negative ions and hair-healthy far infrared heat, creating shiny, frizz-free results
- 1" plate size for easy styling of short to medium length hair
- Straighten, flip or curl
- Heats up in less than 6 seconds
- Adjustable temperature from 140°F to 410°F - great for all hair types
- Cord swivels
- Convenient on/off switch
- Uses only 35 Watts of electricity
- 1 year manufacturer warranty
First of all, the benefit of ceramic plates over the metal ones is not a myth. Ceramic, giving a better heat distribution, guarantees a better use of the heat. Metal will just burn the outside layer of your hair, because you might say it "forces" the styling on it. That layer of hair becomes finer every time you use it, until eventually the hair breaks and you start losing it. Ceramic sends the heat through the hair, so the change of its shape will be a lot less traumatizing.
One swipe of the Corioliss Flat Iron guarantees perfect results. There's no more going over and over the same section of hair and ending up with tons of static electricity and a very unaesthetic, frizzed out mane.
Remember the heat through the hair thing? There are also benefits in cases of ethnic hair (oh, what the heck, big Black Afro). This type of hair is not a sucker for those wimpy metal straighteners, making trying to tame it difficult and frustrating. With the Corioliss Flat Iron, your wild, cougar hair will purr like a kitten...a soft and smooth kitten.
The option to adjust the heat allows this straighter to be used on damp hair (use 240°F - 260°F depending on the type of the hair). Plus, hair is not a case of "one size fits all". Not all types of hair need the use of the maximum temperature to be styled.
The Corioliss Flat Iron can be used by both left and right handed people. This has been proven by a true ambidextrous...me! It also heats up very quickly (in less then 6 seconds!), so you can use it for last minute touches. It does take about a minute to "fully" heat up, but in 6 seconds you can begin styling.
The iron has a Teflon coating on the outside, so you don't have to be afraid of burning your ear or forehead while using it. This also gives you the ability to create really pretty curls on your daughter's head for parties, which will make her uber-popular and you a really cool mom.
The Corioliss Flat Iron also has an international voltage option, so all you will need is an adapter. This way you have the option of being stylish even on your trip to Cuba! And as long as you're traveling, the heat proof pouch is invaluable. No matter how hot the iron is, you can put the straightener onto or into it and then leave it on any surface. This will prevent even the most delicate new bathroom counter tops (that you paid a lot for on your last bath renovation) from being damaged by the heat. And if something happens to go wrong, there's a one-year warranty. This is a year in which if you closed the plates on the wire, if you dropped it while using, or even if your 2-year-old daughter decided to style her Barbie's hair, you're still covered.
So, with a little practice (no one was born a hair stylist) you can create for yourself beautiful curls or pin straight hair without burning your skull and/or spraining your shoulders. However, the plates are quite narrow (1 inch), so no matter how quick it is to use the iron, if you do have a lot of hair, it will still take you a while to get it all done (although much less time than if you were using another type of straightener).
Here's the bottom line. If you're a frequent user (more than three times a week...one day does not count as one use if you've used it three times that day), stop abusing your hair and get yourself this flat iron. If you have a daughter over the age of 12, buy another one for her because you won't see much of yours. :-)
Whew, that was a lot to read, but a HUGE thanks goes out to my babysitter for the info.

First of all, as you can see by the picture above, Misikko does a FANTASTIC job of packaging the flat iron. The fake rosebuds actually smell like roses, and I was just taken aback at how beautiful it was. I honestly didn't want to take it out of the box! Now, here's a picture of all of the loot that Misikko sent me:

I also tested the "heats up in 6 seconds" claim, and it actually does. I put my hand near the plates and they were already hot. My metal iron, which is an ancient Hot Tools iron (you can see by the link that they now have ceramic), takes several minutes to even come close to that!
Cost: $89.99 (with free shipping) at Misikko.com ($$$)
Overall: I give the Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron a 9/10, because I wish the plates were a bit larger so my hair would be done even faster and it would be great if there were a lifetime guarantee...or even just five years. One year goes by so quickly!
