Karmin G3 Flat Iron {Review}

I was born with good hair, not gorgeous hair, but good hair at least according to every hair stylist who has ever had the pleasure of working with it (kidding, kidding).  My oldest daughter has hair that can only be described as a mess, no matter what we do to it, no matter how we cut it, it’s just a mess.  Thankfully my daughter has recently began taking an interest in fixing her hair (insert the ***AAHH** and bright lights here).  Taylor does have a flat iron, but it is a very inexpensive model that is just not effective on her hair. 

I was very excited when I received the Karmin G3 flat iron to review.  In case  your not familiar with the Karmin name and products here’s a little more information about the G3 from their website:

Introducing the New Karmin G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling Iron, the Ultimate Hair Styling Tool.
Whether you choose to curl, flip, straighten or add volume and body, the G3 is the only styling iron you will ever need.

The Karmin Salon Pro is perfect for both the professional as well as home users with features such as flash quick heating, a tangle-free swivel cord and temperature settings for all hair types. Styling your hair is virtually effortless and results are smooth, silky, shiny hair.

The ceramic plates are infused with tourmaline which together work to produce more negative ions. Negative ions work to seal the hairs cuticle for smoother, frizz free results as well as lock in moisture, protect color and add shine to your hair.

Infrared heat works to heat the heat the hair from the inside out providing healthier styling, less damage and faster styling.

I love that you can curl, flip, straighten, and wave style your hair with the Karmin G3.  I have extremely straight hair, I’m talking stick straight—you know the kind of hair that perms come right out of, so curling is never really an option for me as regular hair curling irons cannot do the trick.  I decided to take a chance and see if the Karmin could curl my hair, so I adjusted the heat setting accordingly and waited.  As soon as the flat iron got hot (and it was hot very quickly) I followed the directions and tried it out…while I didn’t get curls (which was completely my fault because I know I was not doing it right) I did get waves which is almost curls! 



If you’re in the market for an awesome flat iron, I highly suggest the Karmin G3!  Make sure you check out Karmin and many more great holiday gift ideas in MIBR 2010 Holiday Gift Guide!
