 High beautiful. The other day I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a video that was horrifying and intriguing at the same time. She was flat ironing her hair, completely wet to completely dry. She had this new kind of interesting looking tool that she was using to do this. I went on Amazon and I bought the exact same tool she used. Today we're gonna try that tool and see if it actually works cause her video does kind of look a little scammy. So I have this mysterious magical flat iron here with me today. We're about to open it and see if it actually works. Can you go from wet hair to a pin straight and dry in just one step? Let's find out. Let's test this tool out. If you're wondering what that TikTok is that I'm talking about, let's watch it together. So I bought this tool and it's supposed to straighten your hair but it can be wet. So we're gonna try it out. It's not your typical iron. So is it doing anything more than just flat ironing? Is it like drying at the same time? I don't know. My hair is still wet, wet. And if my hair burns off, this is my suing video. So at this point, I was like, there's no way she's about to do this on her wet hair. So apparently you just take your hair. My hair's not only wet, but not like soaking wet. And then you go like. Ah. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Did not just sizzle? Mm-mm. It worked. Ah. Whoa, the sizzle. The sizzle scares me a little bit especially when you know she probably didn't put any product in her hair. Like sometimes a product can sizzle a little bit or steam. Her hair is just wet but she looks amazing. It seemed like it worked. However, I noticed one little thing off about this video. She shows you the first piece she's doing and it doesn't exactly dry it or straighten it. And then all of a sudden her entire head is dried and straight. So I don't know how we got from the total wetness of her hair to totally dry and volumous without a doubt of intrigue. So let's grab this thing. So sometimes guys, I'm an idiot. And today is one of those days. Is this the same thing that she used? Absolutely not. Well it is but it's not the same brand. This costs $85 and the one that she's using that one is $350. But as you can see from that screenshot and this tool right here they are pretty much exactly identical. And I'm pretty sure they do the exact same thing. So we're gonna continue to go with this and hopefully maybe this will be a dupe for the really expensive one. I don't know. Okay, we have opened the box and this is also called the Sutra Professional Easy Glitter. How did I pick that up? How did I end up with this one? I don't know. It literally is the same exact thing though. I don't see any difference. I just think the price is different. But what do I know? And the box also has me interested as well as the actual tool of the girl had in that video because nowhere on here does it say to use this on wet hair. It is literally just a flat iron. But on the website it literally just says like it's a styling comb. There's nobody who says like I'm using this on my wet hair or any kind of directions that say anything about it being used on wet hair. I mean, okay, so there's three reviews on Amazon about this Soleil one. There's one that's terrible and the other ones just say it's a good flat iron basically. There's nothing about wet to dry. So this girl is scamming the out of me right now and I'm pissed about it. We're gonna still try it because the whole wet to dry flat iron thing I think could work. Let me show you first and then I'll explain later. She's been plugged in. Now let's see what's going on with this thing. First of all, it does feel really nice in my hand. I like that it's very compact and small. Let's turn it on. It goes from 250, 300, 350, 450. Jesus Christ, 450 is really hot. I just don't feel like that's necessary. We're gonna go to 350 and try it out there first. I don't know what the back of this thing is for. There's absolutely no directions. I think this might just be like a sort of ventilated part of the tool. It's like a flat iron in between all of these grooves. So basically it brushes your hair and flat irons at the same time. And I think you can add like body and like volume with it while you're ironing, which actually is pretty dope. People who straighten their hair would probably like that. Like they can just go like this with it and not have to clamp it down or do anything crazy. And it's probably really easy to use. Let's grab my client for today and let's try this baby out. Hi, yes, you're gonna be my guinea pig for today. Thank you for participating in today's trials. So we are going to just go for it. We're gonna start at the top of our head and see if it sizzles off and burns and dies. Or if we get an actual nice sort of blown out looking effect even though their hair's wet. Kind of excited, kind of scared. Let's go for it. Well, it's working, but is it totally dry? No, maybe I have to keep running over it. Actually, it is drying. Hold on, hold on. This looks really good. And we went from this wet to this dry. And it feels really nice. And it's really soft and it's really shiny. This is scary, but in like a fun way. I'm very interested to see how it does the rest of the head on this side. But so far it's actually working. I also wanna try on the other side of the head a regular flat iron because I'm pretty sure they would do the same thing. And if you already have a flat iron, I don't think you have to go buy a new one, you know? I think it would work. But I also wanna say if this does work, you guys, I am not the one who told you and I am not the one who is endorsing this and telling everybody to use flat irons on their wet hair. It's not me. It's still scary no matter what. And I don't know what to say about it. So take everything today with a grain of salt, okay? All right, second piece. Let's see if it works out just as well as the first one did. See that noise? It's scary. If this was a real person, I don't know how I would feel. I just don't. It also takes a lot of passes to get this dry. We're also only on the medium level, 350. So I'm gonna move it up to 400 just cause I feel like we'll get it dryer faster and I am over waiting for it. This tool though, besides the fact that it's not supposed to be used like this, I guess, I do like the way it kind of works. Like I like that you run it through the hair and it gives you body and movement. Also these combs in the back kind of help you. So like if you wanna make a curl, I guess, you just kind of wrap it around and it really does stay put. It's not really creating like the best waves. You know what it is? Like it's giving me volume without it being too flat and too straight. So it's giving me more of like a blown out look instead of a really flat iron type of moment. Like look at that volume every time. Every time. You also can't see the steam because I'm on a white background but if I weren't, you would be a lot of steam coming off cause I can see it in person and it's like whoosh. It also helps if you go over on top of the hair and then underneath it after. I feel like this isn't saving me any time though. I still have to really take my time with it and go through every piece. Okay so update, I'm getting tired and I was already tired going into this video but now I'm even more tired because this is taking forever to get her hair dry. And I have to be honest, it feels a little strange. Like it's adding a weird kind of texture to her hair. Like it's not soft. Okay it looks really good on camera. The hair feels awful. It feels really bad. It feels straw like. I didn't put any product in this to start so that might be a reason why it feels like that but it doesn't look the greatest and it feels terrible. And that took a really long time to do. I'm not understanding the appeal to this. So I am going to do the same thing on the other side of the head. I'm not gonna use my Dyson Corral because I just don't wanna ruin it. I don't know what's gonna happen. So I'm gonna use just a regular old flat iron and see how it works. And then we'll move on to my final thoughts about this product and just about ironing your hair from wet to dry in general. Okay on to the GHD flat iron. It's weird actually using a flat iron with a cord. I'm not gonna lie, I hate it. I definitely prefer the Corral. For this experiment we're gonna use this. I don't know what temperature this is at because it doesn't tell you. It just goes to the temperature. I don't really know. This is old, I don't even know how it works. But let's try it out on the wet hair. My worst nightmare. Let's see what happens. Oh. That was scary. Way more smoke than the other tool. Is it drying it? Yes. Is it scary still? Yes. Does it look good? No, it still looks, it looks bad. Like the other side. It looks really terrible. So I can't style the hair properly. I don't know why but I can't give it any bevel once it's dry. I can't do anything with it. It's just lifeless. Okay, I'm gonna move on and do this side of the head and be horrified the entire time. Oh hell no. Oh. That's a concerning amount of steam coming from the hair. Though it is kind of fun hearing the sizzle but also scary. I can't tell if I hate it or love it. And Miss Manny Quinn's over it. She's like, get off of my head. I'm sorry girl. Oh, that was miserable, terrible. I hate it every second of it. So this is what happened. It looks so incredibly horrible and it did not work at all. It was so hard to get it dry. It's still wet in some areas. Why does it look like that? It really looks like burnt. Like it looks crispy and fried. This side compared to that actually looks quite smooth and pretty but in real life, I promise you it doesn't feel smooth and pretty. Neither of them are the greatest. Neither of them I would ever recommend. But I wanna talk about why I thought this might have worked. I'm still a little confused by the whole wet to flat iron situation. Okay, so hear me out with this whole situation. The reason why I was like, this could possibly work is because if you think about fabric and the fact that we use a iron to iron the fabric, but there's water involved with that process. We use steam to iron clothes. And I know that clothing fabric is not the same as hair, but why does the fabric not burn? And why do we spray water on it? I get it to get the wrinkles out. But what if your hair was curly? Wouldn't you even want water to help get the curl out of the hair? Like a little bit of steam in there. So essentially what's going on when you go from wet to flat iron dry is you're boiling that water out of the hair and it's evaporating, which is also interesting because water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The iron doesn't need to be that hot in order to get the water out of the hair, which also had me intrigued even more. You could have the iron at 200 degrees and you could probably still get the hair dry. So why can't we kind of burn off this water and have it evaporate and get the hair straight at the same time? The noise, yeah, it's scary, but I actually don't think there's anything really bad going on when you put an iron on wet hair. I really don't and I know that's crazy and it might not be accurate. And if it isn't, leave a comment below and tell me your explanation of why this is so bad. In my head, I feel like this has the potential of working if somebody were to design a flat iron that actually works specifically for this and isn't just marketed for this. They probably had to put certain instruments inside the iron that allow it to smooth and straighten and not burn the hair at the same time. Maybe it would be better on dry hair, like it's intended to be used for. I like the fact that it was kind of a comb with the flat iron attached to it in between the bristles, but you know, I prefer a nice old flat iron than something like that personally. I don't know, maybe the secret is not making the flat iron so hot and taking your time with it, but by the time the hair is dry from using the iron, you might as well have just blow dried it first and then ran your flat iron through after. I just feel like the combo of both doesn't really make anything easier or save you any time on anything. So I'm gonna stick with regular flat irons for now and I'll keep you updated if any new findings or any cool gadgets that can do this very thing in less time. It was a cool experiment, but I hate it and I'm never doing that again. And to that girl on TikTok, I feel like you lied to us and scammed us. What the hell, girl? Explain yourself.
