I tend to straighten my hair once in a blue moon, this is because hair straighteners tend to really mess up my hair. I HATE the smell of burnt hair floating around my vanity. My sister, on the other hand, straightens her hair on a daily basis, but our hair is very different. Mine is thick naturally wavy, straight with some curls, hers is fine and wavy/straight. So her hair type is much easier to straighten, but she also gets the occasional burnt hair. What the hair straighteners tend to do to her hair is rob it of its shine and make it look dull and lifeless. She's experimented with using sprays specifically for use before straightening and heat. None work well in her opinion. Thanks to John, over at Misikko, we were sent two hair products to review, the Chi Silk Infusion and Hana ShineShield.

My sister has been raving about the
Hana ShineShield for days now. It is a leave-in treatment that straightens & protects your hair from UV rays and heat styling. She used it while her hair was still damp, she let it air dry and put just a bit more on right before she straightened her hair. Just from the 1st use, her hair looked surprisingly healthier. After she straightened her hair, we noticed the shine it left, even into the next day (pictured). This treatment is really great with the heat styling hair straightening. If smell-o-vision was real, you'd be able to smell the incredible scent it left on her hair. The only complaint she has is that she didn't like the feeling that the Hana ShineShield left on her hands, but a quick hand wash fixed that.
I tried the
Chi Silk Infusion, which is also a leave-in treatment. I do not straighten my hair much, but i do blow dry, and the Chi SIlk Infusion is a heat-friendly :) When I was finished, my hair felt light, I love that it doesn't weight my hair down like other products I regularly use.
Misikko offers great name-brand products at a great discounted price. Just check out their huge selection of
Chi Flat Irons and amazing
Hair Blow Dryers. Overall, me and my sister love the products we received for review, they will be great additions. We will be returning to Misikko to load up on these when their gone. I love the small touches that Misikko goes through to make the customer happy. Our products were wrapped in the box with a white flower and an angel doll ornament that we will have on our Christmas tree this year. Thanks Misikko! They have also been gracious enough to give (1) of my lucky readers a chance to
WIN these!
