Having curly hair is a blessing and a curse. Sure, it's nice to have natural volume, curls & texture but sometimes you want to be able to run your fingers through your hair without it looking like Richard Simmons' fro.
I've had a love-hate relationship with straightening my hair ever since 8th grade. The thought of standing in my bathroom for literally hours, gliding a hot iron through my kinky curls seemed like a great idea at the time. It took me so long that my arms would cramp up and I had to take breaks. Side note: don't ever doubt the hair styling dedication of a middle schooler in the early 2000's. With hair goddesses to look up to like Rachel Green aka Jennifer Aniston and Cher Horowiz from the iconic 1995 film Clueless, no wonder I was so committed. These ladies were totally #hairgoals.
Jennifer Aniston's hair is sleek, yet voluminous, shiny & soft. I'm pretty sure everyone would love to have her gorgeous locks & I've found a tool to help me (somewhat) achieve her look! Over the years, I've tried many brands of straighteners...some good and mostly bad. This week I had the opportunity to use the Megastar by Nume. Let me tell you this one is a game changer.

| "I woke up like this...literally" |
With the picture on the left, I had washed & conditioned my hair and added some leave in conditioner the night before... slept with my hair up and took it down to wake up to THAT. Yeah, not cute.
The picture on the right was taken 20 minutes after the one on the left. I could not believe how QUICKLY this tool straightened my frizzy curls and how shiny it left my hair.
The heat is adjustable and the max is 450 degrees (which is what I used). The Megastar heats up SUPER fast... I swear it got to 450 degrees in like 5 seconds. My favorite feature is that it automatically turns off after 30 minutes, so no more worrying if you left your straightener on! Genius.

Overall, if you are looking for a new straightener, I highly recommend this tool. If it can get my hair shiny & straight in 20 minutes then it can help pretty much anyone.
