Vibe Straighteners - Vibrate For Straight
August 18, 2008 by John
If you’ve been watching the first show of this years X Factor you might have caught site of the advert for the new Vibe Hair Straighteners?
In a market that is dominated by the likes of GHD and with leading manufacturers like BaByliss trying to get into the premium market with their Pro 230 Radiance irons it looks like Vibe is attempting to gate crash the party with a new idea - vibration. Apparently, the initial idea for these ground-breaking new hair straighteners originally came from the anciant Korean tradition for ironing clothes! People would beat out a rapid rhythm on their laundry until it was perfectly flat. Hair Tools have now taken this theory and used it in the Vibe vibrating straighteners.
The variable temperature (100 - 210 degrees c) compares well with GHD and Vibe claim that the added vibration means no tagging or pulling - GHD manage to achieve this too without the wobble! Premium straightening is largely due to the quality of the ceramic plates - the better the plates, the less pulling and tagging and also less damage to your hair.
Other Vibe features include:
- The vibration on the plates can be switched on or off
- Fast heat-up time
- Auto shut-off feature kicks-in after 15 mins of inactivity
- Available in black or baby pink
- Comes complete with heat proof mat and tutorial DVD
Having had a bit of search, I’ve managed to find them in both black and pink in stock at Just Beautifully. I’ll update you when I find them elsewhere. If you’ve got a pair it’d be great to hear what you think about them - please do leave a comment.
Were great for the first week or 2 but now i have singed hair which has broken off!! whether they get too hot or something i have no idea, this morning they jus stopped working and had stripped a patch of my hairs colour, i then washed and conditioned my hair to find that it had broken off!!!
Be careful with these!!
Hi Sarah
Thanks for the feedback. Maybe you were running them a little on the hot side for your hair type?
Might be worth having a word with Vibe themselves to see what they say.
I see that they’re still advertising them on TV when X Factor is on.
