NEW: Philips MoistureProtect Straightener HP8372/03

~AG~

After pondering for quite a while, I decided to invest in a hair care tool that I can use without worry in Singapore. Previously, I had owned several hair straighteners in the States, namely Revlon, Remington and ghd. Without knowing the need to use a step-down transformer for US appliances used in Singapore, I blew up the fuse of two of my straighteners. It was heart-wrenching. The only one left is the ghd classic styler. This beloved hair straightener was used almost daily for over two years. Even after having it for more than 4 years, this hair straightener is still fully functional. It was the best USD $165 investment I made on a beauty tool. However, I did not want to try whether it will work in Singapore.

Doesn't it look girlish and  so pretty?

 

Anyway, back to the topic. After researching online, I decided to purchase Philips MoistureProtect Straightener (Model #: HP8372/03). This is one of the newest hair styling tools from Philips. So what are the features of the Philips MoistureProtect that convinced me to buy it?

1. Philips Sensor Technology protects the moisture balance of the hair. The sensor diagnose your hair 30 times per second and adjusts the temperature according to your hair needs
2. MoistureProtect Technology regulates the heat of the straightening plates to prevent overheating
3. It heats up in 15 seconds, no more waiting around for it to heat up
4. Comes in three temperatures: 150, 175 and 200 degrees Celsius
5. The floating ceramic plates moves to adjust the pressure on hair. This protects hair shaft from being damaged and reduces the likelihood of hair breakage.
6. Negative-charged ions eliminate static, condition the hair and smooth down hair cuticles. Your hair will becomes smooth, silky and frizz-free.
7. 2-year worldwide warranty
8. Automatic shut-off after 60 minutes. A great feature for those that tend to be forgetful.
9. Has a swivel cord
10. Has a temperature display
11. Comes with a pouch, which is handy to have to prevent the straightener from scalding other objects.
12. Has lock capability, for travel convenience. A must in my book!

Plus, Harvey Norman was having a promotion for the MoistureProtect Straightener. It is now selling for S$119, previously retailing at S$139. It was a deal I could not resist!
