- And you don't have to run out of the house and go,
oh my god did I just left the straightener on
Hey guys, I'm Millie.
I'm a part of the customer service team
here at Adore Beauty.
And we're gonna have a chat about
the top 10 hair straighteners today.
We're gonna go from number 10,
and were gonna work our way to number one.
So at number 10,
I do not have it here right now,
because she is being released very soon,
and she is the well awaited, Dyson Corrale™ straightener.
It's a wireless straightener, cordless straightener.
You can have it for up to 30 minutes, without charging,
if it is something that you were interested in,
get on to Adore Beauty, Dyson Corrale™ ,
there's a wait list, and we will email you
as soon as it is up, I cannot wait to put it on my afterpay,
because she's gonna be well awaited.
I guess my number nine, and the only reason it's my number
nine, is because I would use it in conjunction
with another straightener, is the Cloud Nine Micro Iron.
She is quite small, I have quite small hands,
And that is how small she is.
So in comparison to say like your normal Cloud Nine,
she's, a bit of a baby, but the reason that I love her,
is I have quite, fine little baby hairs,
like around my hairline.
What I would do is use this little bump, turn her on,
and she's just got a little button right here,
so it is quite small, it is quite compact,
but you turn it on, let it heat up,
it will actually tell you, it'll give you a little beep
when it's heated up, and then all I would do is go in,
get those little baby hairs, so those little fine hairs,
and you can really like smooth them over.
If you want to do like a really, tight baby fine curl,
and you've got a couple like hours on your time,
you can use this to curl.
So that's the Micro Iron, she has her place,
she's not for everyone, but she is a really great addition
for those with fine hair,
sometimes they suit super thick hair,
and you know, you get those little bits where you can't
actually get them with a straightener,
you need something smaller, so that's why she comes in.
My number eight, and this is mainly for budget wise,
like she is budget friendly,
but you're still getting a top iron,
is the Silver Bullet Keratin Ceramic Straightener.
It is a little bit like bulkier, I guess in your hand,
she's not heavy by any means, but it's just a little bit
heavier than some of the newer models on the market,
super user-friendly, so to turn on,
all you really need to do is there's a little dial,
kind of in here, and you can change the settings,
there is a time and a place to use a straightener
on a top or higher level kinda heat,
but for the majority of the time,
I would always suggest low and slow,
so go lower, and then if you find that you need to do it
a little bit higher you can.
Number seven, this is one that I kinda wanna show you guys
how to use, and I wanna show where,
and the kind of effect you can get,
because I think some people get a little bit scared
about wide irons.
It is a Cloud Nine, so with all of like the Cloud Nine
originals, they do come with little high/low temp,
and a little on/off button,
so you would switch up, switch it on,
and then on the other side,
it has these little green lights.
I'm just going to boost it to the next one out,
which is 185, so it actually has seven different like
temperatures you can get, it heats up quite quick,
and you can start to feel it.
So once it stops flashing, that's when you know,
she's ready to go.
I always try to resist the urge, and I don't know why we do,
and I bet some of you do it, but I always have to fight
the urge like a straightener
with tones and be like (mumbles)
she's ready to go, I don't know why.
I know that some of you do it too.
Let me know if you do, if you've got finer hair,
and you know, you don't need to take small sections,
amazing, if you've got thicker hair, and you wanna cut down
on time, this is absolutely incredible.
I'm just going to take a bit of a section here,
and then all I'm going to do is kinda gather the hair,
pop the iron on, and you can kind of just smooth,
smooth it over, and you see pretty much
instantly that all that like excess frizz gone,
and super easy in like biggest sections,
say if you wanna do a beachy wave, right?
And she's a bit fluffy, this is probably
second or third day hair,
lot of dry shampoo in here though,
the easiest way to do a bit of a wave to twist,
and then if you twist out, it kind of does the work for you.
So you can see you get that really soft, beautiful,
like a bit of a beachy kinky esque wave,
it's great for people who don't like that curl,
and again, twist away from the face,
and all you have to do,
is kind of let the iron do its work itself.
- [Woman] It looks really cute.
- It does, thank you, I know, I always love that.
I always forget how much I love it until I'm like, oh!
What I'll do is do a bit of a demo,
as well with one of the smaller ions,
and you can kind of see the waves that they create.
So we'll continue on with our list.
Number six, Hot Tools.
So, Hot Tools are kind of one of those brands that
I guess not many Australian people know about,
or you know, it's only really industry people,
Hot Tools is kind of like the equivalent to ghd in the US,
like it's just a standard.
Everyone's like, yep, it's great, if you need anything
that works, that's incredible,
that's really got your friendly, Hot Tools are amazing.
And I find them like super cute.
There's like a little purple acne,
you've got the little gold plates,
it's a really great intro to selling quality irons
because they're not gonna break you bank.
I know that some straighteners are a bit of an investment,
and they do last for awhile, but these are incredible.
She's got a little on/off button,
and then of course your hot/cold, changing the temperature,
and then that temperature gauge will come up here.
Their plates are a little bit longer,
than say your Silver Bullet or your more traditional one.
It's only, you know, very, minuscule amount.
That's actually really nice to create a longer kind of curl.
The next one, It's the ghd Original Professional.
We don't have it here with us in the office.
The main difference from the ghd Gold,
it's width is actually a little bit thinner.
So it doesn't have this little gap here,
it's just a little bit sleeker, so you can get a tighter
curl, and that's why it's one of my favorites.
So it was my absolute baby, when I was in the salon.
So if I had to do a bride tear,
if I had to do someone who's going out,
if I had to do my own hair, my own hair it's a bit finer,
sometimes it can be a bit finicky,
I would use the ghd Professional styler,
because it's that little bit smaller,
so you can get that tighter wave.
The next one, I'm sure that you've seen it while browsing
online, if you've been into the Adore Beauty
straightener category, and I'm sure you've looked at it
and gone what the hell is that?
Why is it so big?
Why is it so bulky?
Who needs a straightener, that is that big?
And what is this thing?
This was kind of like one of the first of its kind,
if I want the smoothest, the silkiest,
the soft to touch hair,
I still wish that I had a same pattern
they're bringing out another model,
which is a little bit more sleeker,
this model is the second version of it.
Anyone with super frizzy hair, or really thick hair,
you don't have heaps of time,
this is gonna be your best friend.
So the most important thing to know is that
it is connected kind of like an iron I suppose,
kind of like a hair straightener iron I guess.
In this little toggle here, is actually water,
so you can see it kind of slush up and around.
This actually has, it has little suction cups
so it doesn't go anywhere.
The reason why it's a little bit lower too,
my only concern with this one,
the cord is a little bit shorter,
than your normal like straightener a cord,
and then because there's two cords,
they can get a little bit tangled.
This one does have a removable tooth as well.
So if you hold it up, you can actually
pull that little teeth out.
So sometimes you can find that you don't really need this,
or your hair might be a little bit finer,
but I find it really great.
So that just clicks back in there.
It's got a little on/off toggle here,
this bit lights up, so you can see that it is working,
it's on, it doesn't make any noise, or anything like that.
So when it turns on it's at 200 degrees,
the great thing about this one,
you can take a lot larger sections,
and do more hair in less time.
The Steampod, obviously by name,
it's gonna be using steam to straighten the hair,
so that's how it gets really smooth, silky results.
It's not like a normal straightener
where you can just kinda whiz over and it's done,
low and slow, hold it over the hair,
and then you can hear it working.
And then just super slow.
Honestly, guys, this on the ends is amazing.
- [Woman] Actually sounds like an ochre closed iron.
- It does sound like an iron,
and it does like for first time that we kind of
when we used it on people in the salon,
they'd be like, what are you using on me?
And then you can see it's just super duper smooth.
The main difference of it too, because you're actually
sealing the hair with water, when it's humid outside,
or when it's raining, your hair looks for water.
So that's when you get that real frizz.
So that's technically what frizz is,
is your hair wanting water so it elevates an expands,
it wants moisture that's how to kind of combat it.
If you were to use the Steampod, and it's super hot,
or it's steamy, or it's humid, or it's a bit wet outside,
it's actually gonna repel the water.
If you've got like thick curly, coarse hair,
and you want that wave, but you don't wanna have to take
the time where you have to straighten your hair first,
and then do a wave, the barrels a bit bulkier,
so it's a bit softer, and with the sections,
it can be a little bit finicky,
the kind of first time that you do a wave
with the Steampod, it's just takes a little bit of extra
like finesse to kind of figure out how to get comfortable
with it going from like your traditional iron
to your Steampod.
Moving on to our top three, coming in third,
is the ghd Gold Professional iron,
she's gonna do every single thing that you want her to do.
And she's super easy set at 185.
As with old ghds, you've just got the one button to press.
So you hold that down for a couple of seconds,
and then it will beep when it's ready, when it's hot.
She's got a great price range,
if you've kinda had a Nine, and you're like,
yeah, cool, I'm using it, wanna step up,
I wanna use something that's a little bit better,
but I don't want to break my budget,
this iron is incredible,
really a great all-round straightener now for everyone,
It's perfect.
Coming in at number two, the one that I have at home,
it is the ghd Platinum, it comes in two different colors,
which is super snazzy.
It feel super sleek and can handle having a white iron,
It gives you that option.
I myself know that I would end up with makeup,
or foundation or something on it So I went for the black.
The reason why I really liked this iron, a, for one,
it's got a really cool little swivel,
so it means that if you wanna do a wave or anything,
you don't have to worry about your cord getting tangled.
Sometimes cords can tangle obviously,
it's gonna happen, they do,
but it actually can cause damage in the long run.
It's got this little wishbone toggle here,
so it's just more organ ergonomic for your hand.
It's nice to hold, it's very sleek,
it feels really locks, it feels really nice in your hand,
and then the really top point with the ghd Platinums,
and particularly the Platinum+ , which is the newer version,
it will be able to tell which I still don't get how
and the scientists maybe can come into the comments,
and we'll let me know how you think it does it.
It changes its head size depending on how damaged,
and how fried your hair is.
It will look after your hair to the top degree,
say if you wanted to do a bit of a wave,
so I like to take thinner kinda section,
so if I like a more beachy kind of wave,
you can see that through the hair, so I'll take that,
I'll twist backwards, so always away from the face,
and then just twist up,
and then I give it a bit of a switch.
So you can see that you can get like quite a tight curl.
That will drop fairly well for me, actually, to be honest,
if I'm using my Platinum or if I'm using a Cloud Nine,
my hair just holds I'm sure why some sort of magic
about the plates it holds,
even if you just wanna straighten,
it just has a really nice finish,
it gives that bit of shine, it gives that bit of a movement,
give it a bit of a twist, work it outwards,
give it a bit of a, a bit of a shwave one day,
twist once and kinda pull downwards instead of around,
and see how it's like super soft.
So you can kind of get that really tight curl,
or you can get that really like soft, super sleek wave
the ghd Platinum+, if you have fairly damaged hair,
if you team this with a really great heat protectant,
it's amazing, it's specifically made for people with
damaged hair because sometimes when your hair
is a bit damaged, she gets a bit scraggly,
she doesn't maybe look her best all the time.
So you wanna give her a little bit of a burst,
and that's where this one comes in.
My number one, drummer roll please (drumbeats)
my number one styler, for my top 10 straightener,
here in Adore Beauty, it's actually a tie,
sorry, I couldn't choose between them.
It is the Cloud Nine Original, but the reason that it's tied
is because there's the Touch iron,
which doesn't have an on/off toggle,
and then the Original C9 styler,
which has the traditional on/off toggle,
and the changing of the buttons here.
You still get the same incredible results,
everything is silky, everything is soft,
everything is just, oh, chef's kiss beautiful.
The Cloud Nine Touch doesn't have any buttons.
For the customers who might've accidentally
bought the Touch, you've been like,
how the hell do I turn this on? Super easy, bit of a tap,
and you'll see it comes on together.
So it has two heat settings 195, and 165,
It's red right now, which means that it's on the
hotter setting, which is 195,
it also has a cooler setting.
So technically 165 is perfect for straightening,
195, should be perfect for curling, or doing you know,
a bit of more of a hot style.
Sometimes if you have that more natural hair,
it can take a little bit of a high heat,
for like more blondes, damaged hair,
I would always suggest a lower kinda heat (beeps)
holding it together (laughs)
cause I barely know if it works.
So it's got a little blue toggle right here,
which says that it's on 165,
it will flash until it goes steady,
and that's when it reaches its prime temperature.
And it does need to be plate to plate for it to touch.
So it's not gonna change, or turn off when it's in the hair,
which is what's really great.
So you can see that gives you a really nice,
silky, smooth finish.
So you wanna curl, flip it to 195,
It's a little bit small, like it's not bulky,
and it's a bit smoother, and you can get a really nice wave,
and a really nice curl with it.
And I find that the plates are also super,
like they're not super long, and they're not super short,
so they really are that perfect in between,
like a bit more of a wave rather than a curl,
and it's just super silky and it's a perfect like a wave.
So once that's cool, I would obviously run my hands
through it, give her a bit of a shake, give it some spray.
The main reason why I chose the Cloud Nine Originals,
and the Touch, their finish is just
picture perfect shine, perfection.
Also guys, if the straightener, how it turns off,
I think it's 15 to 20 seconds.
If it hasn't had any hair contact, it will turn on,
but it's really easy obviously just to turn it back on.
So that's the great thing,
you don't have to run out of there,
you don't have to run out of the house and go,
oh my God, today I just left the straightener on.
If you want the Cloud Nine styler,
but only slight negativity is the price,
It's $340, I know that's not in everyone's budget,
I know that even for myself, I'm like,
whoo! Not quite in my budget yet.
When I do decide to upgrade,
it's gonna be the one that I'm gonna go to
because it's an investment.
Cloud Nine Touch, is slightly cheaper.
So if you don't mind having to get used to,
I guess, a new way of turning on your straightener,
and a new way of changing the temperatures,
but you're wanting an amazing finish,
and not wanting to break the bank,
Cloud Nine Touch, give it a go.
All right guys, so that's pretty much my top 10,
but if you disagree, if you think, you know what,
no, this should be our number one,
or, oh! That should be higher,
let us know in the comments.
If you have any straighteners that you're like,
this didn't get a hit, let us know, hit us up.
