Can you believe we’re already ending the first year of H-E-B’s Beauty Blogger Program? It sure has flown by! I’ve enjoyed all of the great products we’ve been given to try and review for them. Speaking of great products it looks like they are wanting to end with a bang.
I straighten my hair quite frequently so you can imagine my excitement when I opened this months package to find he new John Frieda Hair Straightener.
Unlike some flat irons, you are able to adjust the temperatures on this one. This works great for me since my hair is color treated and rather fragile at times. Yes I use the protective treatment sprays but still should be careful.
As you can see in the pictures my hair went from drab to fab! This flat iron heats up in a hurry which is awesome for those mornings (like this one) where I’ve got to get it done quick. 
Priced at just $49.97 this is one heck of a bargain. I can tell you the product I normally use cost almost 3x that!
John Frieda Premium Straightening Iron ($49.97 value):
“For over 20 years, the John Frieda hair care experts have been defining style. Now the leader in transformational hair care has helped inspire a line of professional appliances to totally transform frizzy, dull, flyaway hair. Advanced ionic conditioning enhances manageability and leaves hair looking and feeling healthy, smooth and shiny. This premium straightening iron features advanced ionic power, with high heat up to 455 degrees Fahrenheit, true ceramic technology, and 11 professional digital settings.”

I straighten every other day when I wash my hair. I use Infusium leave in treatment on towel dried hair and chi serum when my hair is half dry and then I straighten it. I purchase Infusium at HEB all the time.

I straighten my hair about every other day with a Remington straightener that’s getting old. Because of the Houston humidity, I have use various John Frieda and Garnier Fructis products to keep things smooth and in place. Since I buy so much of it and so often, the price really dictates where I purchase it.

I straighten my hair almost every day. I use the conair hair straightener I bout from Target over five years ago and it is starting to turn off by itself as it is very old I am surprised it lasted this long Thank You:)!!!

I actually do not own a flat iron and would LOVE to be able to style my hair in the mornings instead of throwing my hair up into a ponytail.
I use Garnier Sleek and Shine Leave in Conditioner and Matrix Essentials amplify, shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair.
I also use Matrix Biolage Color Care Conditioner once a week.

I would love to win this. I joined both on FB and Twitter. Also shared on FB and Tritter. =-)
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:26:20
I straighten my hair only when I want to put forth the effort (which qualifies as “not often”)
I use Giovanni shampoo and conditioner and I but them at HEB in the natural food and beauty section… it is lots cheaper there than anywhere else!
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:27:36
I straighten my hair everyday I use Aussie hair products. I swear I have the thickiest waviest hair ever so its a must to use a straightener everyday
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:28:18
I flat iron my hair weekly and use chi products from HEB..
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:32:37
I straighten my hair everyday. I sometimes have to go back and touch it up with the straightener
later in the day. I use tresemme gel extra hold and herbal essence gel for straight style.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:34:57
I straighten my hair every morning after I blow dry it. I don’t normally use any products but occasionally use Moroccan Oil I got from my hair dresser
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:38:59
Hi. Honestly, not that much as I would want to because it takes to long with the straightener that I have cause it doesn’t work as well and it ends up frizzy and not as straight! HELP!
Dec 08, 2011 @ 16:39:03
I would so love to win this straightener for preteen grandaughter with wild and crazy hair that need this fabulous product.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 17:22:37
I use my flat iron every other day along with the fructis smoothing system
Dec 08, 2011 @ 17:27:47
I would love to have a straightener, living on the coast with frizzy hair it sure would help.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 17:34:27
I currently use a flat iron I bought at heb, it works but not as well as I would like. My hair has all weird things going on, it’s curly, wavy & straight in some areas & jet black. I woke this morning took a shower & went back to sleep & when I woke up I went to the bathroom to fix my hair, man when I looked in the mirror my hair was so puffed out I scared myself. I would love to have a flat iron that actually works & leaves my hair silky & soft. The one I have now is called the pro ceramic & costs me 49.99 at heb, it’s left the ends of my hair very brittle & dry. Thank you
Dec 08, 2011 @ 18:24:31
I work retail and like to look the best possible so I like to straighten my hair and my chi just broke!

I have VERY curly hair. I buy garnier fructis leave in conditioner and TRESemmé mousse at HEB. I used to straighten my hair, but I don’t have a straightener.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 20:25:57
I straighten my hair 3 times a week with a revlone straightner that i purchased at Walmart. I dont like it one bit my hair gets straight but after a few hours its all over the place. Must be doing something wrong or that product wasnt worth my money.
Dec 08, 2011 @ 21:02:28
I LIKE TO STRAIHGTING MY HAIR BUT OTHER IRON IVE GOT DONT DO SUCH A GOOD JOB
Dec 08, 2011 @ 22:29:30
I straighten my hair about four times of week depending on how much time I have! I currently use tresemme heat spray but the smell is too strong so I am looking for something new ! HEB has a great selection to choose from so I think I’ll find something else.

I have to straighten every time I shampoo. I use a variety of smoothing agents first but I still need to use my straightener or else it looks like I slept with wet hair. You can definetly tell when I use the straightner and when I don’t. I am very lucky to have my HEB only 5 minutes from my house so I can easily get there to buy all my hair products and my groceries. I love it.

I straighten my hair using products before drying my hair in sections.
