December 16, 2019 by David Allen Leave a Comment

One of the best ironing boards that I have tried is the Rowenta IB9100 Pro Compact. This one gave me the absolute pleasure when it comes to removing the wrinkles and creases from my clothes. It is very convenient to use and doesn’t stress you too much when it comes to stability. It has a particular leg design that prevents it from skidding or sliding. Moreover, it has other features that make it as an excellent addition to the tools of your house!

Highly stable

This ironing board has a pro-compact feature that enhances its stability and efficiency. It has an extra-large ironing surface so that large clothes and textile will fit in one go. Moreover, the cotton cover of Rowenta IB9100 Pro Compact is thicker than the conventional ironing boards. Therefore, this product is your perfect partner when producing desired ironing results. Expect that you won’t see any prints or marking on the fabric, even if you set your iron in the highest temperature.

Storage efficiency

One of the problems of many people is storing the ironing board. I have experienced it too. Since we are looking for a larger working space, we tend to sacrifice the portability and the storage convenience of our ironing boards. Luckily, the Rowenta IB9100 solved this problem for us already. This ironing board has a functional ergonomic that makes it easy to store and transfer. It has a feature that makes it extra-small if you want to pack it already! It also comes with wheels for quicker transport!

Rust and corrosion resistant

This ironing board uses a metallic mesh platform so that corrosion and rust won’t penetrate. Aside from that, the entire construction of this product is robust and stable, which guarantees every user a peace of mind.

Functional ergonomics

Aside from these features, the IB9100 Pro Compact has several components such as hanger racks, steam iron rest, and a large steam station to make its use more convenient than most of the common brands.
Lastly, Rowenta IB9100 is one of the biggest surfaces that I have worked. Its dimension is 54 inches x 18 inches and its height can be adjusted from 27 inches to 37 inches. Such friendly-features indeed!

How to Flat Iron Hair Perfectly – Ultimate Guide

December 16, 2019 by David Allen Leave a Comment

Hair Flat Ironing may be a big trouble for you on the first time. But don’t worry, just relax and simply follow this 6-steps ultimate guide on How to Flat Iron Hair to get perfectly smooth, shiny straight hair every day.

How to Flat Iron hair perfectly

Step 1: Prepare your hair for heat

  • Take a shower and use shampooing and conditioning products that are specially formulated to create straight or sleek hair
  • Patting your hair dry with a towel to prevent excess frizz from occurring after showering.
  • Apply thermal protection serum or heat protectant throughout your hair while it is wet to evenly spread the serum around your hair without creating clumps. I recommend Tresemme 7 Day Keratin Smooth Heat Activated Treatment, which provides moisture-enhanced smoothing and helps detangle hair for a salon-gorgeous look. Another option is Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatent with Argan Oil, which includes Argan oil to reduce frizz while it protects your hair from heat. It is very important to use heat protectant because it protects your hair from damage and makes your straightening smoother, shinier and longer lasting.
  • Blow dry your hair to make it as dry as possible with the best blow dryers. This step protects your hair from being shocked by the heat when flat iron. I recommend T3 Featherweight Luxe 2i Ion Generator Hair Dryer, the best blow dryers that I’ve ever used.

Step 2: Prepare your flat iron

  • Using a high quality flat iron that suits your hair type. Generally, high quality ceramic flat irons which are using 100% solid ceramic plates such as Hana Elite 1” Flat Iron will give you better result and less damage your hair. Use a flat iron that also contains titanium or tourmaline, such as Karmin G3 Salon Pro Black Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron, to make your hair shinier and smoother. For other best flat iron, check my ultimate flat iron guide and flat iron reviews here.
  • Turn your flat iron on, then check the quick temperature guide table below to set the right temperature for your hair. Most best flat irons come with adjustable temperature settings, which will let you select the right heat for your hair type and style. The thicker and frizzier your hair, the higher the numbered setting should be.

Flat Iron temperature guide

  • coarse or thick hair 380°F and above
  • wavy or curly hair 350°F – 370°F
  • medium thickness hair 330°F – 350°F
  • thin hair 300°F – 330°F
  • fragile or fine hair 240°F – 300°F
  • synthetic hair Lowest available setting

Step 3:

Separate your hair into several 1-2 inches sections depends on the thickness of your hair. Pin up the top sections and start flat ironing hair with the lowest layers.

Step 4:

Start your flat iron from the root of section, far away about an inch from your scalp. Be careful or you will burn your scalp. Always wear heat resistant gloves to shield your hand from burning. Use even, fluid movement to run the flat iron down the length of your hair. Remember not to hold your flat iron in one spot for too long to avoid hair damaging and undesirable folds. Do this step several times until the section completely straight.

Step 5:

Repeat step 4 with other hair sections. Remember that a fluid, constant movement is very important to get the evenly best flat iron result.

Step 6:

Finally, add a touch of shine spray or serum to keep your hair straight all day and boost your hair look.
