Stylists can stock up on high-quality professional tools, including the new Gold CONVERTABLE Flat Iron, while helping children in need.
This limited edition flat iron features “good-for-you” technology by using infrared energy to reduce heat damage while sealing the cuticle for flawlessly smooth and sleek styles, improving hair from the inside out. Similarly, the Ionic Mineral Complex generates negative ions that infuse moisture deep into the hair, adding shine and reducing frizz for healthier-looking hair.
This latest advancement has all the benefits of Teflon with zero toxic or harmful emissions. It also ensures no hair-pulling or product buildup, and up to 120,000 perfect passes over hair, leaving it feeling smooth, shiny and damage-free.
In conjunction with the Tri-Diamond Ceramic, the Gold CONVERTABLE’s precision temperature controls ensure even heat application for all hair types. Equipped with a custom heat setting, HAI’s Gold CONVERTABLE flat iron features a temperature control that ranges from 250°F for fine hair and up to 450°F for thick, multi-textured hair or Keratin smoothing treatments.
