Review: Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron



So this is a way overdue post because school has been so hectic lately, but since there is no class today, I thought I'd finally get this up for you guys. I was sent this iron about 2 months ago (before my Winter Break) and if you guys saw my previous post, I mentioned I would let you guys know how it turned out.

Cons
  • The LED light doesn't flicker to let you know it's ready, and sometimes the light turns off.

This iron has been said to be one of the best flat irons out there. Now to be honest, I have not heard of this brand before I was contacted, but I am glad I gave it a try. I have been using this iron ever since I got my hands on it, and I have to say I really like it. It has a lot of things that I find lacking in my CHI. First of all, I like the size and the grip on this iron. It feels sturdy and I can get a good grip when I'm pulling my hair through the iron. Second, it heats up quickly and gets the job done without much effort. My hair stays in place without any product at all. In addition, the plates sort of move from side to side so it really produces nice smooth results and it's perfect for curling.


Another thing I love about this iron is the temperature dial. My CHI iron didn't have one, and I naturally have really thin hair so I don't need maximum heat. The heat settings go from 180-450 degrees so it's perfect for all hair types. For me, I set it to around 300 degrees to achieve my desired results.

The only dislike I have about this product is the LED light. I am not sure if I am reading it wrong, but the LED light unlike my CHI does not flicker when it's ready. Also, it sometimes turns off for a minute, and I actually once forgot to turn it off because I had thought it was off already.

Other than that, I love this iron. It makes flat ironing my hair effortless, and I would recommend this Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron to anyone. :)
