Lee Stafford Poker Straight, High Heat Hair Straighteners, Hot Pink

Product Information

Verity has been writing about technology for over a decade, and covers everything from smartphones to hair straighteners for Trusted Reviews. Whether your go-to look is glossy waves or sleek and straight, this mist is a must-have in your heat styling routine. I also found that the oils on the plates helped them to glide through my thick hair easily, I have had some snagging in the past with other models. Most of my ‘getting ready’ now is getting ready for the school run, and my hair is mainly, sadly, neglected in the rush to get out the front door. GET FRIZZ-FREE HAIR – The ionic function generates negative ions to help your hair stay silky smooth, frizz-free and manageable.

The automatic shut off is brilliant and gives me peace of mind and a 5 year guarantee is just perfect. We also found that, despite having floating plates, these straighteners don’t meet as snugly in the middle as others, requiring a slightly firmer squeeze – for finer hair, at least.The straighteners heat up in just 10 seconds and are ready to use, they have a variable heat selection meaning you can choose the best temperature for your hair type from 80 up to 230 degrees and they also count up in the display window on the top of the straighteners as they heat up to your desired heat setting. However, even with some design quirks and performance annoyances, they can provide a very good result indeed. At the base of the straighteners is a lock button, which pushes in and out on either side to lock or release them.

Would have loved an audible sound that alerts you when the product is turned on (or indeed left on) so that it was clearer than just the LED display. I have created a little vlog of me testing the product which is the easiest way to see it in action.

EASY TO USE – Nano silver titanium flat iron plates allow your hair to glide through with ease in one effortless flow. They aren’t really suitable for out of the house though as you need the base to be plugged in to heat them up.

I was impressed with how fast the straighteners heat up, depending on your desired temperature it takes just 40-60 seconds. And to add just a bit of fun to the design, there’s a little pop of that bright pink here and there too. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. There might not seem to be a huge difference between the two, mainly because my hair is really quite straight to start with. First up, these Lee Stafford The Academy Ionic Flat Iron Hair Straighteners look absolutely GORGEOUS.

If you’d like to win a pair of Lee Stafford Academy straighteners of your own, then here’s your chance! I didn’t realise this at first, but the Lee Stafford Academy straighteners come with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty. Having to hold them so low down means you can easily find yourself hitting the controls by accident and adjusting them midway through styling, which is frustrating.
