Review and Giveaway: Misikko Hana Elite Flat Iron! - CLOSED

So, I love my hair, I really do. I love the short, sassy pixie, and I love that it's thick and unruly. But as it starts to grow out, even just a little bit, it gets...well, how do I put this?...batshit crazy.

See exhibits 1 through 3 below:
Misikko Before 1
Exhibit 1: Cute and all, but seriously wave-city

Misikko Before 2
Exhibit 2: In which I contain the crazy with a flower pin

Misikko Before 3
Exhibit 3: I mean, seriously, look at those sideburns!

Of course, the ridiculous summer humidity only makes things more unkempt. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to get my hairs trimmed recently, so they're getting to that phase. So when Misikko approached me to ask if I'd be interested in reviewing one of their flat irons, I figured I probably didn't have much to lose (except those beloved sideburns, if I happened to singe them off with a too-hot iron). Anyway, here's what they sent me. Adorable, no?

So yesterday I went about straightening my little pixie. I was skeptical, to be honest. I mean, I don't have much hair, and I wasn't at all convinced that even a really nice straightener would make much of a difference. The Conair flat iron that I have now entails a 30 minute battle, and my hair ends up poofy and not remotely sleek. So I went into it ready to be entirely underwhelmed. Instead, this is what happened:

Exhibit 2: Pointing out the delightful sleekness of my now-straight hair

Exhibit 3: Feels so goooood...

Exhibit 4: In awe of the awesomeness

Anyway, literally one run-through with the Hana Elite, and I was a convert. And despite the fact that it showed me just how uneven my current haircut is, I flipping love this thing.

And...miracle of miracles, I get to give one Hana Elite 1" flat iron to one of my readers (they have lots of awesome models, too, including the Chi flat iron and the Corioliss Classic flat iron)! All you have to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment on this post, with a valid email address (comments without an email address will not be counted).
