Lionesse
Last weekend while shopping I walked out of a SUPER crowded Victorias Secret empty handed. As I walked out, there was one of those booths that sells hair straighteners and the girl offered me a free sample of their hair serum. Of course this is their way to lure you in closer and ask if they can demonstrate the straightener. I usually say "no thanks" while not even making eye contact. But for some reason on this particular day I smiled, took the sample and sat in the chair while she demonstrated away. I had just washed my hair a few hours earlier, so my hair was a little damp and the perfect amount of frizzy for me to really know if it was working. I was sold when she curled a section of hair, wet it with a spray bottle, moved on to a different section, talked a little and by the time the wet section dried ....it had dried EXACTLY the way she curled it! It didn't even get frizzy again after she wet it.
So this is what I bought
My hair is really curly, I hate it! shocker!...People with curly want straight, and people with straight want curly. Why is that? I didn't even want to post a picture of how curly my hair can get but I did want you to see why I was so impressed with this straightener.
I washed my hair the night before and used a pea size amount of the serum before putting it in a braid. In the morning I just took the braid out and went from curly to straight in 16 minutes! It was a little pricey but seriously worth every penny.
What brand of straightener do you use? And does it work this great?
Hey nice blog here! Visit mine and let me know what you think, maybe we could follow each other!

i have that staightner! but in hot pink! and yes, i also usually say no to them but i was on a black friday day, and they also offered me to be there demonstrated person..so i sat and i was being amazed!! of course i bought it! it is worth every penny(: im soo extremely happy with my lovely straightner it is now my child<3
ReplyDeletehow much did you both pay for it? i got "sucked in" and bought 2 of them. now i think i paid way too much.
ReplyDeleteMy friend and I got sucked in together, we paid $100 each (+ tax, so it was like $108) and the rep threw in full-size argan oil shampoo and conditioners for each of us.
ReplyDeletesame here sept the guy threw in another straightener for free and 2 argon shampoos and 2 conditioners also for free my mother and i really couldn't say no especially after the demonstration!
ReplyDeleteI got sucked in today and got the flat iron, full size argon oil, shampoo, conditioner, and a neat little comb for 120 and I thought I paid too much until I got home and my hair was still pin straight.
ReplyDeleteDon't buy these products! They gave me a "great deal" at this kiosk at my local mall and when I decided to go return them they didn't give me a refund. Even though the guy working there said that all we had to do was bring the box and the receipt for returns. They lie and even though this product is good for hair, the company is disgraceful
ReplyDeletethis is the same thing that happened to me!....I just bought my right now! and i think i'm already in love with it!
ReplyDeletebtw nice blog!(:
I was had. I purchased the Evo hot iron, because the sales girl made really nice girls, and told me she was giving me her last family discount. I took it home and tried to make the same curls and failed. I took it back and they would not give me a refund, they tried to give me other products that I didn't want. They wanted me to come back for a lession. I wouldn't buy anything else from a Kiosk ever again. This one was in the Cherry Creek Mall. This is america who doesn't take something back????
ReplyDeleteI have the same lioness straightener and hair serum and I freaking love it!! it doubles as a curling iron as well. Definitely worth the price paid!
ReplyDeleteHold on. How much did u pay for this
ReplyDeleteI paid $150 plus taxes... they wanted $200 but I rolled my eyes and we set it for $150 plus taxes. I still tht it was to much but it worth every dollar... best investment for my hair...
DeleteI think I paid toooooo much just for the straightener (a month ago)... but it is AWESOME! So I guess the over prize worth it (I paid $150)...
ReplyDeleteI paid $150 plus taxes and for a couple of weeks I tht it was a rip off and I even wanted to return it when I saw they were on sale for $69 (Black Friday)... I didn't because I don't like to go shopping on those days but since then, every time I use it, I think it was the best investment for my hair!
ReplyDeleteI got 2 straighteners, 2 sets of shampoo and conditioner, 2 straightener holders, 2 lifetime warranties, and I can have my hair done for free up to 16 times for $173 after tax
ReplyDeleteHi so I bought it today at a Kiosk at Aurora IL and WOW I got surprise how beatiful she eas making my Curls OMG!!!

I will update later in 1 or 2 weeks to see if I needed practice or it really dont work!!!
That straighter is amazing! My hair never looks this good! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWow, that product does amazing things. I must try!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a big difference.
ReplyDeleteThat straightener is magic!
ReplyDeletewow love that before and after pic you provided her hair looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm sold!
ReplyDeleteI dont use or have the need for straighteners, but I've never seen such great results as these! Unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is curly like yours. I wish I had a straightener like this one. But I think its too expensive...
ReplyDeleteI have this flat iron and I LOVE IT! Great product! AWESOME company!!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog thanks for letting me know this really works. I am one of those people who have kinda curly, and love it but some times I want it compleatly straight and need a good straightened!
ReplyDeleteI don't use a straightener but my daughter does; she has a Philips.
ReplyDeletei have never heard of this site b4, so i am new. i have never been a fan of buying things at kiosk b/c never know if it is the same thing as the buy on tv sites. i am impressed with this item you got, it works great. although i have wavy hair and not curly as you do. but my hair is longer than yours.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to the beginning of your story. There are many booths at the mall who basically beg you to stop by. I have try some hand lotion and the result is amazing and I end up buying some one time. I have not come across this brand yet but I hope to do soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, Really Great Results and it Really Gives You a Completely Different Look! I Think your Hair is Beautiful Either Way but it's Funny How Just Changing Your Hair From Curly to Straight Can Make Such a Difference in Your Look! You are Beautiful & Could Probablly Wear Your Hair Just About Anyway; I have to Wear My Hair Long b/c I am More Curvy & My Face is Fuller so Short Hair for me is a No No! I Honestly didn't Even Know that Lionesse Made Hair Tools or Products, that Just Makes me Love Them Even More & I Could Definitely Use a New Look & Some New Make Up! Thanks & Have a Blessed Day! Jana
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing results on such curly hair. It really works!
ReplyDeletewow that looks amazing!! I haven't use anything for awhile now , I can never seem to find something that is gentle on my hair.. but I can say last time I had someone come and do it for me she left with half my hair........ simply aweful...great review and thanks for share @tisonlyme143
ReplyDeleteI don't use a straightener cause I like my hair wavy. But, my sister has REALLY curly hair and can't find a product she likes so I'd recommend this to her.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is going to absolutely going to love this.thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteBailey Dexter, OMG what a huge difference! I have a one but am going to run out and see if I can find this, Love the hair both curls or not.
ReplyDeleteYour hair is beautiful, curly or straight.
ReplyDeleteWow I have got to try this!!! My hair type is very similar and I hate having curly, frizzy hair. I usually flat iron it every chance I get, but it never turns out as straight as I want it. I currently have a Hot Tools flat iron, but I will totally have to look into replacing it.
ReplyDeletethis looks fantastic, my hair looks almost exactly like yours in their natural state, I'd love to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThis is so good, mine is never this straight.
ReplyDeleteAmazing products!!! fantastic! I hope to try them asap
ReplyDeleteI am currentlu looking for a straightener myself so I found your review very helpful , thank you :) x
ReplyDeleteThey sound amazing! And your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have a straightner but sadly it does not work that good. I am always looking to see what one would be worth investing in
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Came out awesome, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks amazing. My hair is so thick and curly that the underneath is like a tumble weed hiding a birds nest.
ReplyDeleteSo true no one wants what they have!! I had curly hair as a child and hated it, and it got straight as I aged, now I just want my curls back!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your hair looks amazing! That straightener is definitely on my to buy list!
ReplyDeleteI have a straightener, but I think this serum would really help to keep my hair straight for a longer period of time.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that has to be the most powerful straightener I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteLooks like something I could really use my hair is super long and curly every one else loves it but I get really tired of it and with the humid air I find it unruly and try to keep it wet down.I have tried dozens of products and nothing helps.
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely review!
ReplyDeleteI really like the final result!
Nice brand!
So beautiful hair!
Wow that flat iron seems good. Maybe i should go try them. Thanks for the review anyway! Nice post
ReplyDeleteTHIS WILL BE GREAT FOR MY NIECE WHO HAS CURLY HAIR AND SOMETIMES LIKE TO STRAIGHTEN HER HAIR. THESE PRODUCTS ARE VERY USEFUL FOR FIZZY & CURLY HAIR........
ReplyDeleteI don' have a hair straightener, but I'm thinking of getting one soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, good product
ReplyDeletebut i dont have a long hair :D
That's an incredible product if it works that well so fast!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that Lionesse does haircare as well as skin care. It did a great job of straightening your hair, I need to try this serum. Thank you for sharing this review.
ReplyDeleteOmg love it! My friend has been looking for this. Thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking to buy a new straightener..I'll have to try this one now! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like your hair wavy. The product sounds good if you want to change the look of your hair. I have wavy hair and have never tried to straighten it. I am the opposite. I wish my hair had more curl, like yours.
ReplyDeleteI have the wavy and keep mine that way . .I like straight but all seem to be straight anymore.. Getting the waves are harder with the length so i am looking into how to keep curls ..thank you for sharing ..I like yours wavy too
ReplyDeleteFirst off, your hair is great! It look nice straightened too. You are just fortunate to have such nice hair. I straighten mine rarely. But, perhaps Lionesse straightener would make it shinier.
ReplyDeleteLove the results! I have curly hair as well so this is amazing how straight you got it.
