Sockets and Frizz.

The title of this item is vague; it evokes thoughts of fingers poking into electrical sockets and, as a result, hair standing on end. This said, it can't be further from the truth and the truth of the matter is; I recently moved to place where the sockets are different from the last place I resided. I have a magnificent hair iron, a HAI classic, with layered ceramic plates and adjustable heat settings. But only works in Canada, the US, and Mexico.
What options are available to me? Well, I could purchase a very expensive converter, or, just purchase a new iron all together...
Now, which iron to choose among all the wonderful irons out there. Here, the popular choice seems to be a GHD but I am not sold on that. The one I wanted, FHI platform, that would work in these sockets could not be shipped to my address; so what did I do...
I did what any narcissistic-hair-obsessed victim does, call up a friend over seas that it could be shipped to, made them receive it, and then resend it. An expensive process, but in the end worth it.
Three layers of ceramic plating, tourmaline somethingorother, adjustable heat settings, and some magical ionic stuff; to maintain the health and look of my hair. The later always causes some confusion. You see, heating your hair up in such a way fries it, no matter what anyone states as fact, but; when something locks in moisture with these tiny wizards (ions), it doesn't do nearly as much damage.
How do I know? To be honest I don't, I completely buy into selling features of certain desirable items and what else can I say? I'm a hopeless consumer whore. Point is, I'm satisfied.

Additionally, I have some recommendations for hair care as well. And while I'm no hair stylist or part thereof. These "recommendations" come from my years of experience with my own unruly, temperamental hair.
For paste, if ever I use any, usually I don't have to; due to great irons or a really well-done cut. My number one choice is Davines no.5; it doesn't leave a greasy feel or look and you really only need enough to form a teeny tiny residue on your finger, depending on what you are creating. This residue is best for "fly-aways."
For shine and general conditioning effects; any of Aveda's "brilliant" collection work wonders.
I have yet to find a favorite shampoo or conditioner but I've still got some life to live.

And that's enough of this useless crap.
