Hey Mehtizen’s, it’s me @Mandirose, one of the 2 (actually 3 as of last week) female buyers here at Meh. Spoiler Alert, this is my product, so take whatever I say knowing that it’s in my best interest to sell it to you. That aside, I test a LOT of hair tools here in the office. If you don’t believe me, go to morningsave.com. I have also bought many hair straighteners in the past 15 years, more than I care to even admit. I was skeptical of this straightener before trying because I have been burned (literally and figuratively) in the past buying cheap straighteners that don’t get the job done.
That said, the 1.25” straightener is a great deal at $25. It heats up quickly, maintains it’s temp and doesn’t catch when you’re straightening. As for the mini, I won’t lie, it’s not nearly as good as the full size but it would definitely get the kinks out of your bangs or smooth out any frizz. I spent a lot on my current straightener and while I would say it is superior to this one, it was 6x the price and definitely no where near 6x the quality.
TL;DR I’m biased, but if you have hair and you want to straighten it, this is a good deal.
@cengland0 no option to turn it off and from a quick look up “far-infrared heat to protect your hair and cuticle from damage, preserve moisture, and locks in hair color to create silky soft, glossy, and elegant static free hair”
@mandirose
Oh, man! I just bought a new straightener, so no go on this one, but thanks for keeping the discerningly coiffed in mind when buying. (There’s got to be a few of us here, no?)
@mandirose Even if you convince me this is the best whatever it is, um… Still not buying. Please don’t let my lack of participation bring on a feeling of personal failure.
/giphy this is not the product you’re looking for
But, you know… I wouldn’t mind a good speaker dock. Know where you might buy one of those, irregardless of gender?
Irregardless was popularized in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its increasingly widespread spoken use called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose.
Irregardless, why would you use a straightener on those curls? So cute.
@hchavers What’s funny is that when women with naturally curly hair straighten it, it usually looks amazing. But it can only happen once in a great while, otherwise it loses it’s thrill.
@hchavers I think most people have slightly wavy, wonky hair (not curly like Merida, or pin-straight). The straightener kinda evens it out. Flattens the cuticle; makes it shiny. “Cleans it up,” if you will.
The mention of th Atlanta Hawks in the description reminded me of the Falcons. The straightener is $25. The Atlanta Falcons blew a 25 point lead against the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Never forget.
P. S. I’m happy with my flatiron.
Personally, unless your hair is a certain thickness, Curly Hair does Not always look amazing. Straight hair has a round shaft. Curly hair has a flat shaft. I have naturally Curly hair, and with the right products, It Looks Amazing… And No, after trying to iron it in the late 60’s, I have Not tried to straighten it. Why would I want to ruin it? I am happy with what I have, not many are so lucky… Yay! And Man, who has all that time to “Burn” in the AM?
@Mandamm I had a teach tell me once that her mom would after washing it brush and wrap it VERY (aka Painfully) tight around an orange juice can to get it straight.

Straight deal tonight

@mandirose what a refreshing piece of clean air!
@mandirose I’d like to be a female buyer; how much do they go for?
Wait, that’s not what you meant?
@mandirose What is Far Infrared Technology and can that feature be turned off if you don’t want it?
@cengland0 no option to turn it off and from a quick look up “far-infrared heat to protect your hair and cuticle from damage, preserve moisture, and locks in hair color to create silky soft, glossy, and elegant static free hair”
@phendrick
In my experience… quite a bit.

Wait, how many buyers are there?
@stinks
@cinoclav Ah, the grammar fascists.
Irregardless, why would you use a straightener on those curls? So cute.
@stinks I never said it isn’t an actual word. It’s just a horribly awkward word that hurts my brain.
this looks like something Bruce Jenner would do an infomercial for.
Heh. Saw the pic and thought it was a purple stapler.
/giphy Office space that’s my stapler
@ruouttaurmind
Want to buy a purple stapler from me for $25 then?
@PlacidPenguin Thank you, no.
@ruouttaurmind
You’re no fun. You know that, right?
@ruouttaurmind Wanna buy one from Amazon for $7.79 then?
@cinoclav @ruouttaurmind I love purple.
@Barney @cinoclav @ruouttaurmind
Have I got THE stapler for you then!
@PlacidPenguin But is it sparkly like a 1970s hot rod like that one is?
Stop selling junk. My VMP membership is not being used.
Welp, I certainly don’t need any more hair straighteners, lol!!!
Another mystery men will never be able to solve: Why do women with curly hair want it straight and those with straight hair want it curly?
@hchavers What’s funny is that when women with naturally curly hair straighten it, it usually looks amazing. But it can only happen once in a great while, otherwise it loses it’s thrill.
@hchavers I know men that straighten their hair as well.
My mom has curly hair. Mine is straight. When I was a kid, I wanted curly hair.
You want what you don’t have.
Now I’m happy it’s straight.
@hchavers I think most people have slightly wavy, wonky hair (not curly like Merida, or pin-straight). The straightener kinda evens it out. Flattens the cuticle; makes it shiny. “Cleans it up,” if you will.
@hchavers My hair is neither curly or straight I don’t look good in full curls Wavey is ok for a day look but I feel pretty when I straighten
Why do hair styling tools always have the worst technobabble marketing?
@novium Ask first who are they trying to sell.
In for one. My wife’s straightener has a loose connection in the cord attachment, so this will make it look like I care about her problems!
Why all this woman crap on Men com.,?
@fastharry Why not?
Are you afraid for your fragile masculinity @fastharry ?
@fastharry usually the women are asking Why all this Men’s crap. Turnabout
@dynomoose yes…it’s so big I’m afraid it will break off…
They make great mini grilled cheese sandwiches.
@tmilker Even better, if you use a hair crimper they make lovely paninis.

Can you use this to straighten pubes? Asking for a friend.
@supichoo Yes, but only once
