Laid the Flat Out!!

I couldn't believe that my flat iron died on me!

Background:
I took pride in gloating that it lasted 5+ years and hadn't given me a single problem. It stopped working on or around the time we bought the house, and it took a few months longer for me to really notice. I plugged it in a few times but never noticed that it didn't warm up (this was because I got distracted and left it in the bathroom...unattended).

So now since I'm going back to work in a week or so, I can't sport the 'mom-do' anymore.

Let me define the 'mom-do' for those who have not heard of it. It's closely related to the hornet's nest as it is a mixture of sweat (sometimes blood) and knotted hair. It is rarely washed and usually quickly tied up after it has been. It's adorned with a black rubber tie so that it cannot find its way into the hands of a young infant (who will NOT let go even if you are screaming in pain). Basically, imagine Amy Winehouse.

Let's not even discuss the fact that my roots are growing out and it looks awful! (I'm getting that fixed this coming Saturday...)

So, what to do?

Outcome:
I turned to my trusty Amazon!!!

It took me a few hours (because there are a million versions, all claiming to be marvelous!)

I ended up Google'ing 'Best Flat Irons' in order to drill down the brand that I should buy. I went back and forth with a few brands in my shopping cart:

1. Sedu
2. Solia
3. HAI
4. BaByliss

Most of these were all retailed at $150+ (definitely out of my price range) so my goal was to find one of these brands at less than $50.

According to the stock on Amazon, I wasn't having much luck finding a decent brand flat iron for a reasonable price. After changing the key words and searching a bizillion times, I finally found one that was worth considering.

The BaByliss Pro Ceramic Flat Iron with removable comb was the one! The previous flat iron I used was only a 1", so I had to keep going over and over in order to get a decent area flattened. This model was a 1.5", which would make my mornings even easier. Feeding, changing and getting a baby ready for day care was going to be DIFFICULT so anything to help speed the hair process along would be warmly welcomed into my home.

After checking out and paying the $27 bucks (WHAT A DEAL!) I would soon receive my delightful purchase in a few short days. Sadly because of President Day, delivery would take longer than it usually would have.

As usual, until next time...
