I just bought this not so popular iron/curler from handyman and thought
that it was a steal since it’s relatively cheap and it seems like a good brand.
However, after doing some research, it made me think if I made the right
decision to purchase this product instead of the pure ceramic one. I guess I
got attracted to the nano-ceramic word, but after some reading I found out that
that word is just a big word for a so-so flat iron.
Anyway, let’s give this product the benefit of the doubt
and let’s look at it closely
Packaging 7/10
Decent package, nothing special about the box but it
doesn’t spell cheap and from the packaging it actually looks reliable. (if you’ve seen flat irons being sold in
cheap looking plastic you’d know what I mean)
The box contains the 2 in 1 curler and a simple manual
with the do’s and don’ts as well as instructions on how to use the product.
Design 7/10
Pros:
- 2 in 1 curler/iron
- Light weight
- Adjustable temperature
- Conversion buttons
- Built in stand
What’s good about this product
is that at a cheap price you get an iron with a curler. No need to bring two
separate bulky hair tools during days when you need to travel and need to look
good.
It also has a temperature display as well as temperature
adjustment buttons which would allow you to set the temperature that would work
for specific hair types. (My previous
flat iron didn’t have temperature display)
It has conversion buttons on the sides, you press the
button to switch from curler to flat iron or vice versa.
What I also noticed is that it has a tiny built in stand so it doesn't roll off when you put it down and even though the handle is plastic, it doesn't heat up.
Cons:
It looks like a typical iron/curler and not travel size.
There’s nothing really special about the shape or color of this iron/curler and when you hold it in your hands the plastic handle doesn't seem very
durable.
Material 7/10
Not the best material out in the market and let’s face
it, this flat iron/curler could only last maybe up to a few years before it
would start to damage my hair. Well that’s what you get for P 775.
The thing about 100% aluminum sheet covered with nano
ceramic is that the ceramic coating would eventually flake off. I just hope
this iron/curler would prove me wrong and would work perfectly for at least 3
years. (Or maybe that’s just too much to
ask)
Performance: 9/10
It heats up fast, no need to really wait for it to warm
up. This is a plus point especially for the ladies who are always on the go. I also noticed that once you turn on this iron/curler it automatically goes to 200C so you have to adjust to the desired temp after turning it on.
It does it’s job well in straightening my hair as
well as curling, however,some of my strands gets caught in the iron which could damage my hair. (maybe I'm just not yet used
to this product)
Overall: 8/10Well i think it's pretty much too early to judge this product but as of the moment I'm happy with my 2 in 1 iron/curler :) I still think that it's a steal :)
