PYT Hair Ceramic Styling Tool

Hi!

While we were in St. Louis, we went to the Galleria (a huge mall!).  When we were about to leave, a guy at one of the kiosks stopped me to ask if he could show me something.  He wanted to show me how well the ceramic styling tools he was selling would work on my hair!  I always kind of hate when people stop me haha :) so I was a little annoyed but also wanted to see how it worked so we stopped!



The company is called PYT Hair (Pretty Young Thing).  I think I just wasn't even considering that I would get one, so even though it was making my hair so straight (so quickly!), I wasn't really thinking about it.  When he finished straightening my whole head in only about ten minutes, my dad was asking him what else he would throw in if we bought one.



My brother Carl's girlfriend Alicen made the before and after collage above!

At first I was thinking he was going to sell it to us for too much and didn't want to get one, but then he gave us a really good deal (way less than the original price he said and the price on their website).  My dad bought one for me!  I picked the redish-orangish one, of course :)  Plus they threw in some shampoo and a lifetime warranty, too!  I'm happy my parents wanted to get one for me :)



I couldn't believe how long my hair was straight!



My hair stayed straight for a few more days and then when I washed my hair the next time, I tried straightening it myself that night.  It worked just as well and it only took me ten minutes!  



Here it is in a ponytail.

I can probably count on two hands the number of times I've straightened my hair in my life.  It would just take me so long!  Plus I usually just like to leave my hair curly.  Part of the problem is that I would try to blow dry my hair straight before straightening it, which just takes forever and is so hard!  The other part of the problem is that I would have to run the straightener over my hair several times to get it really straight and I feel like I'm damaging my hair.  Now I know to let my hair air-dry and straighten it later!  Also, I only had to run the straightener over each section of hair once to get it completely straight.

The plates on the styling tool are completely ceramic, as opposed to some tools that just have a ceramic coating.  Supposedly this makes it so that your hair doesn't get (as) damaged.  He showed us on a cotton ball that even at 450 degrees, the cotton ball didn't get damaged at all.

Since then I've also used the tool to curl my hair (sort of straighten/curl it) which I really like.  



On the left is my air dried hair, and the left is after I used the tool to curl it!

I also straightened it before our Puerto Rico trip so it was still a little bit wavy.  It's really easy to do any of those styles with the tool and it's also easy to go back and forth.  I had curled my whole head and decided it was too much, so I went back and made each section a little bit straighter.  



Here it is half curled, half a little bit straighter.

It's fun to experiment with!  I know that it's still a really hot tool to use on my hair so it can still be damaging, but I won't use it every day.  I've been having fun with it because I hardly ever really do anything to my hair!  Especially now that it's grown out so much, it's fun to see what kind of styles and hair dos I can do :)
