CONTEST NOW CLOSED!
I live in South Alabama. In our horrible wonderful heat and humidity, my natural curly hair quickly turns to naturally frizzy hair! When Lisa at It’s A Glam Thing PR sent me a press release about Hana Elite, I was intrigued.
1. Is it better than my expensive flat iron?
2. Will it make my naturally curly, frizzy hair smooth and STAY smooth in South Alabama’s humidity?
3. Is it going to fry my hair?
So, she sent me one to answer those questions myself. 
Here is a before picture where I dried my hair with a brush to pull as much curl out as possible as I always do when straightening. Otherwise, I have a big curly mess that I can’t get a brush through.
Then, here is a picture of my hair after using the Hana Mini and Hana Shine Shield. I rolled the Mini at the ends to tuck the ends under: 
Hana Mini Flat Iron features:
- Compact, travel friendly 5″ flat iron expands to standard size (8″) for ease of use
- 5/8″ plates are perfect for touch-ups, details, bangs or short hair
- Tourmaline ceramic plates produce maximum negative ions and far infrared heat – sealing in your hair’s natural moisture while repelling humidity to stop frizz before it starts
- Tourmaline ceramic plates are superior at creating a salon-smooth, shiny finish
- Heat is fixed at 410 degrees, suitable for styling most hair types and touch-up work on all hair types
- Comes with chic silver carry case with heart shaped zipper – case features built-in heat mat to protect counter tops and other surfaces
- Also includes stylish tin case for storage or travel
- 6′ salon swivel cord
- 2 Year warranty
- Made in Korea
HANA SHINESHIELD Features:
- Lightweight leave-in conditioning therapy
- ShineShield is designed to protect and restore both hair and scalp from environmental and styling stress
- Jojoba absorbs quickly without a greasy feel for thorough deep conditioning
- Jojoba naturally dissolves soil, removing build-up from other styling products to leave hair clean & supple
- Jojoba naturally excels at thickening keratin layers, bringing out your hair’s natural color overtones, highlights and brilliance for unparalleled shimmer
- Periodic use over time is proven to advance the quality of your hair & the health of your scalp
- Available in 2 oz & 6 oz sizes
So, what do you think? Do you want one? I thought about making you work for it by sending me a picture of your natural hair then me voting on the person that needs it the most. But, I am afraid I won’t get much interested that way. LOL! So, I will stick with my standard giveaway entries.
