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

Product Information

What isn’t so welcome, however, is how hot the straighteners get on the outside at the highest temperature. You’ll be unable to hold them much higher than where the controls sit. 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.

Lee Stafford is not just a professional hair dresser, he’s an award-winning hair dressed. He’s someone whose proved that passion coupled with hard work and dedication can help yield your dreams. I first saw Lee Stafford on This morning, a UK entertainment program and loved his styling tips. There are many hairdressers these days and it’s hard to standout but Lee Stafford has done that with his range of salons and products. What I love about his products is that they are not tested on animals and follow the EU Cosmetics Directive. This Directive bans testing of any products or ingredients on animals. Disclosure: I was sent the Lee Stafford Academy straighteners for the purpose of this review. All opinions and thoughts shared are my own.Cordless hair straighteners are just the same as the corded ones, but they don’t need to be plugged in. Some use batteries, but most work by being plugged in and charged up – the downside to these is that they generally take a long time to charge, and many can only offer a limited amount of usage time before they need charging up again. The biggest advantage of this straightener is that you can use it practically anywhere. Even if you are deep in the forest away from civilization, it will still work. This makes it ideal for camping, hiking trips and festivals.

If you have been on the lookout for a cordless hair straightener, whether for travelling or home use, we have selected the 5 best ones you can buy online. If you travel, they also come with a heat protection guard. So you know the plates won’t get damaged during travel. I really like that you can choose different temperatures. So, it’s easy to select the best temperature for your own hair. Previously I’ve only used ones that come with 2 settings – high/low. These are a lot more precise, so you can be sure you won’t damage your hair, from overheating it. The variable temperature control puts you in charge, with a top heat of 230ºC to give you fast results. The floating plates prevent any unwelcome snagging, with added ceramic conditioning for wonderfully healthy looking hair with plenty of shine. FeaturesWe’d also argue that the temperature isn’t as evenly spread across the plates as pricier models such as the GHD Gold; strands of hair at either end of a section tended to need going over again to achieve the same result as the middle part. The straightener is powered by an energy cell that lasts for around 4 hours. So you can use one cell for several mornings before it runs out. If you are travelling far, buy several cells to carry with you. What we like about it:

For brightening and beautifying blonde hair, the Bleach Blondes collection envelops the strands in deep purple pigments to help instantly illuminate and uplift dull, brassy tones. For added volume and length, experience Lee Stafford’s award-winning Hair Growth Activation collection, brimming with protein-infused treatments. The brand offers a selection of high-performance styling products such as the Coco Loco Coconut Spritz, Beach Babe Sea Salt Spray and the iconic Original Heat Protection Shine Mist, formulated to help add texture and boost shine. Floating plates for smooth gliding through the hair. Ceramic plates leave hair silky smooth and in great condition. Can also create beautiful waves and curls thanks to the rounded housing. Benefit The Styler is very light, so you aren't wrestling with a heavy product. I had no problem winding the entire length of my hair onto the barrel of the Styler. No matter how long your hair is, it will still work. I shampooed my hair twice before adding conditioner and found that the Poker Straight shampoo gave my hair a squeaky clean feel, which is just what I wanted after using other styling products which tend to gunk up my hair! The Poker Straight shampoo also contained a special ingredient called Mega Quat, which attracts the negative charge to my hair's surface to neutralize and reduce any static in my hair. This was a great product which was easy to lather up and cleaned my hair very well. In addition, the controls are awkwardly placed, and the outside of the straighteners can become very hot indeed, which is a bit of a safety concern – not to mention makes them difficult to use. VerdictThat said, we’re unsure if the plates are ceramic, which combined with the super-hot temperatures, could mean they aren’t the best for your hair. 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. In 2003, the EU responded to the long-standing public campaign against cosmetics tested on animals by introducing a ban on animal testing for cosmetics and toiletries inside the EU – not just for finished products but, critically, for their individual ingredients, too. That ban was introduced in stages and became complete in 2009. As a result, no testing on animals for cosmetics now takes place anywhere in the EU.” Lee Stafford products often make a statement with their designs, and the Rainbow Shine straighteners – if their name hadn’t tipped you off – are no different. Cordless hair straighteners have their downsides too. They need to be recharged often and are usually not as powerful as their corded siblings. But there are situations when a cordless straightener is better.
