Beauty Spot: Cloud Nine

This picture below is my natural hair; please don’t click off the page yet though I promise I’m about to fix it. I can’t believe I’ve actually posted this online, call me courageous but it’s necessary for me to be able to explain how great the Cloud Nine styler was.
Cloud Nine is a revolution in heat styling tools. The one question on everyone’s lips when a new heat styling tool is released seems to be: why is it better then a GHD? For once there is an interesting answer to this question. Cloud Nine stylers are brought out by the creators of GHD, they created what has been known as the best and improved on it, that got you interested huh?
The Cloud Nine’s revolutionary technology lies in the temperature gauge which allows you to change the heat depending on the style. What this means is no over-styled over heated hair every day. What I love is often I just need touch ups not a full style before I run out the door, pressing down 200C plus of heat everyday on your hair is going to damage it. Now you’ve got the opportunity to turn the heat down to smooth down my hair in a healthy way.
SO back to the trial, I let my hair dry naturally and just gave my roots a quick blowdry. I clicked on the Cloud Nine and set it to 150 degrees which is the recommended heat setting for creating straight her on naturally thick hair. I took the first photo during the ad break of NCIS and ran back to start styling when NCIS was back on. By the time the next ad break was on the next photo was ready to be taken. Yup, in just under five minutes the wide plate Cloud Nine iron smooth and straightened and looking healthier then ever. (AFTER PICTURE ABOVE)
Wide plate irons have often had a stigma attached to them that they are only designed for people with ringlets and that they were only for straightening. It’s a rumor I fully believed until I trialed the Cloud Nine wide plate iron. It was easy to use to curl, wave, straighten and smooth even though my hair isn’t crazily out of control. I’d call myself a wide plate devotee now even!
Verdict, loved every moment of trialing the Cloud Nine, it’s a cliché, but it really is a revolution. I’ve still got a GHD that I wouldn’t toss out, but for my next styler purchase I would invest in a Cloud Nine.
