First Look: Vidal Sassoon Curling Iron

2/14/2011

Happy Happy Happy Valentine’s Day!!!! :) Today I have some family errands to do so that means no VDay date with my hubby. Actually we don’t go on dates this day anyways, as we don’t like braving the traffic. Hahaha!

Well I honestly don’t have a gift for my husband, because I bought him one as a Christmas & Valentine gift. Haha! Moreover, I have a new gift for myself. A curling iron! I have always wanted to purchase one but just keep researching on which tool to buy. There’s so many and I would like to invest in one that is of good quality and would last me a long time.

So I finally decided to get Vidal Sassoon’s 32mm (1 1/4 inch) Curling Iron!

It was P2,199.75 but I got it at 10% off!

It’s a lovely sight, I tell you.

Let’s break it down:

I got the 1 1/2 inch barrel for loose curls. The black portion stays cool even when the curling iron is turned on. This is great as support when curling.

Comfort grip

The on and off button is easy to understand. And the temperature of the curling iron can easily be adjusted to the desired heat temp. Use a lower temperature for limp and thin hair and higher for thick hair.

It has a stand. :) I use this when I won’t be using the curling iron for awhile, say when I’m still styling my hair or I’m waiting for it to heat up.

Snaps for swivel cord! Super thankful for this as the cord doesn’t get tangled up while I curl.

When I bought this, it came with a free adapter. :)

Now here are the reasons why I chose this specific curling iron:

Vidal Sassoon Curling Iron has 2 years warranty compared to others that only have 1 year warranty.
I like its 1 1/2 inch barrel because I like loose big curls than small Goldilocks type of curls.
Very affordable. I got it for less than P2,000.
Vidal Sassoon as brand is tried and tested and it’s a very good brand used by professionals.

So far, I have only used it once and I am very impressed with the results. My curls stayed for more than 4 hours!

I used Hair Mousse and Hair Spray for this look. I believe that’s one of the reasons why my curls stayed the whole evening. I’ll give more tips as I continue using it. :)

I really am loving this curling iron! And I am very satisfied with the results! :)
