I'm planning a trip overseas and wanted to get a mini-flat iron. I picked this item up in red (they also had pink and green) - called a Proliss Mini Silk - at Winner's. Retails at $180 (?!), but selling for $17.99. I bought it and did my online research. They are retailing at $180, but no one's actually trying to sell this little guy at that price - they are all marked down to $80-$99 - so that seemed I maybe getting a fabulous tool for a great price.
I blow dried my hair today with my (disappointing!) FHI dryer which ALWAYS leaves my hair frizzie no matter what (what a bummer purchase $$$). So I used that so I'd have frizzie hair to try out my new mini styler on.
I just tried it out and it's going back. I heated it up and tried it on my bangs - ok. I had to get back to it later, so I heated it up again (there's no indication when it's ready to go, just a steady red light when it's plugged in), and I used Silk Elements on the hair before using the iron and I went to work on one side of my hair. UGH! It snagged and crunched and pulled my hair and made it look crispy and dry. I have a Paul Brown Flat Iron and an FHI (both I like) - and they don't snag! This is my biggest pet peeve with curling and flat irons - so it's going back. I pity anyone who would bought one of these for any more that $18! I did a spontaneous video review of it - I may put it up on youtube.

I'm going to go get the Cortex mini they also had for $19.99 - it's a little bigger in size, but I'm a total sucker for zebra stripe and I was so tempted to get it, instead of the mini silk - now I will go get it. And the reviews are fabulous for Cortex brand.
