Women with curly or slightly wavy hair can now change their look in a matter of minutes with this at-home hair straightener. This Satin Finish model has ceramic-coated straightening plates, which distribute heat evenly without creating frizz or hair damage, providing more professional results. The ceramic technology also prevents the straightening iron from sticking to hair and promotes silky, shiny hair.

For quick styling, the Satin Finish instantly heats up 60 seconds after powering up and offers 25 different heat settings on its adjustable dial to accommodate all hair types. To create consistent results, the straightening iron employs a feature called the Uniform Heat Recovery System. This system transfers heat from the plates to hair during straightening, causing the plates to cool down slightly, and then resumes its former temperature before you straighten the next section of hair. A flocked exterior surface stays cool during straightening and keeps heat away from the scalp. The unit also has a hinged, ergonomically curved handle for better control during styling.

The 3/4-inch-thick plates on this straightening iron accommodate sections of hair that are 2 inches wide and 1/2-inch thick or less. For safety, this appliance has a cool tip at the end of its plates; automatic shut-off; a power light; and a 6-inch tangle-free, swiveling cord. Conair provides a two-year limited warranty on its Satin Finish straightening iron. –Cristina Vaamonde

Hairtalk: Stylish Braids from African Roots
Product Description

A braidery is more than just a shop where you get your hair done: it is a spiritual space, a meeting place, and a cross-cultural intersection, and the site where the past and present are woven together and traditions come alive. Duyan James, a Liberian native with a braidery in Washington, DC, presents a colorful, fascinating, and gorgeously photographed guide to the art. Complete with stories, folklore, and traditional hair care secrets, Hairtalk provides a full sense of the history of the many braiding styles that have become a staple in American culture. Pore through 51 styles for adults and nine for children—including some with synthetic and natural extensions—and learn all of the basic braiding techniques. But most importantly, James and her 12 African braiders from all over the continent provide a compelling account of the tribal meanings and ritualistic uses of each unique look, expanding the value and significance of braiding beyond mere fashion.
