The Xtava Pro-Satin Straightener is a flat iron made with 2" ceramic tourmaline floating plates with professional features like heat settings and a long 360 degree swivel cord, that's perfect for fine to thick hair.
Thoughts/experience:
Before I get to my experience with the Xtava Infrared Flat Iron, let's talk about packaging. The Xtava Infrared Flat Iron comes new, in a large box with a seal to ensure that you are the only one who purchased it. Inside is another box that you can use to store it in. It also comes in a zippered heat resistant travel case for on the go that I think is perfect for touching up, or freelance hair stylist and professionals.
Moving on, one of my least favorite things to do is styling my hair. The reason is simple, I hate doing a lot of work without getting the results I want. You see, I have long, wavy to curly hair that tangles easily even when I'm trying to style it. To get sleek shiny hair I have to air dry my hair first, then blow dry it with a blow dryer that leaves my hair so frizzy, and looking coarse. After blow drying, I go in with a flat iron that I bought from my local drugstore.
The flat iron I own does not compare to Xtava. Mine has 1" plates and I don't know if it's ceramic, and only cost me like $13 on sale. They say you get what you pay for, I totally agree. While using my 1" flat iron, I have to use it multiple times to get the sleek shiny hair I want. Plus my results still don't compare to the results I received after using my Xtava Pro Satin Straightener (before and after photos below).
With the Xtava Infrared Flat Iron, I can set my desired temperature according to the thickness of my hair. At first I started with 350 degrees F, but it was to low. I have thick long wavy hair and needed a little more heat so I went up to 400 degrees F and that seemed to be the right temperature setting for my hair type.
Once I start styling, I notice that there is no weird smell (I experience that with my 1" flat iron) and my hair quickly became straight without frizz. The ends of my hair were also sleek and shiny which I love. I really like the 2" ceramic tourmaline floating plates because it heats evenly, and the plates easily grip to whatever position I use to straighten my hair.
Downside/overall thoughts:
There is a downside that I must mention and that has to do with the position of the power, and temperature settings buttons. Unfortunately, while styling my hair I kept accidentally pressing them. Good thing there is a LCD display because I noticed after placing my flat iron down to move on to another section of hair. I think that Xtava should change the position of the buttons.
However, my hair has never looked better. I love how sleek and shiny my hair looks after using the Xtava Pro-Satin Straightener. I was able to style my hair in less time, and didn't have to blow dry my hair before using the flat iron. Plus the ceramic tourmaline plates evenly heats my hair so my style lasts longer. As I'm writing this my hair still looks good I'm like in my third day with my gorgeous hair lol.
