Panasonic Nanoe Hair Straightener
The Panasonic Nanoe Straightener is an excellent choice for those with thick hair because the tool is designed to avoid drying out your hair as you straighten and style it. Ideal if you’re going to be spending a lot of time going through your thick locks.
The straightener works by generating nanoe particles, which takes moisture from the air and transforms it into moisture-rich particles that are small enough to penetrate the shafts of the hair. This helps to protect against damage from heat.
Combined with the ceramic coated plates, these straighteners are a perfect choice for those who want healthy, shiny locks whenever they style their hair.

You can even adjust the temperature to suit your hair too, and with a clear LED display it’s easy to see the level of heat you’re applying to your hair.
Cloud Nine tools boast a ‘special and mysterious ingredient’ which leaves your hair looking glossy and healthy. Plus the floating design of the ceramic plates ensure you don’t snag your locks as you style them.

This tool is unlike anything we've used before, as there is a steam vapour technology, basically it's a liquid designed to repair the hair, which turns into vapour when you style your hair. This creates a barrier on the hair to stop humidity from leaving it frizzy.
