Sarcasm and Sass Mom

     I have a few curling irons that sit under my sink, collecting dust. My hair does not hold curl well, so I just don't usually even bother. So imagine my frustration when I open a box from amazon expecting an awesome new flat iron and find...a curling iron. It was a really nice high end looking curling iron, but still. Then I saw on the box it said “auto rotating.” I was curious about that so I opened the box and read the instruction book. Which made me even more curious. I really wanted to try it out.

The Xtava flat iron has wide 2 inch plates, so you get the most hair straightened in the least amount of strokes. A feature I really like is the temperature control function. You can choose the temperature setting that is right for your hair type, lower for thinner/fine hair, higher for thicker/curly hair, between 265F-445F. The ceramic plates heat quickly and evenly, and reach their temperature with 90 seconds. Another great feature I have come to love on the Xtava products is their 360 degree swivel
