I woke up this morning, with my "bed hair" looking worse than ever. Everyday I would use the Vidal Sassoon ceramic straightening brush so that my hair looks sleek. But then I thought, what if I'm travelling? The straightening brush needs a hairdryer to function. I can't bring the large brush and a hairdryer on my trips. I need a real hair straightener.
So today, instead of morphing around the house feeling depressed, I decided to go to KLCC. Mission? To find the Phillips Want2Move hair straightener.
My cousin Annur Ezzati (haha siap tulis nama penuh lagi.Always call people by their full names lately) already bought it. She bought it when I was having my finals and couldn't find the time to go out. Haha sabar je la. She bought it at Guardian for only RM100 (original price: RM149). It's perfect for me because of its small size.
So I went to Guardian, but sadly, the Want2Move straightener isn't available. So I went to Best Denki. Found it! In fact, there's a promotion. RM119. Just when I was about to reach for the box, I spotted something else.
The Phillips Salon Multistylist kit.
With this kit, you can straightener your hair, curl it, whatever. We're talking unlimited creativity and versatility here.
I immediately forgot about the Want2Move straightener. I was undecided whether to buy the Multistylist 8-in-1 (6 styles + hairclips + paddle brush) or 10-in-1(8 styles + hairclips + paddle brush). The 8-in-1 set cost RM129 (only RM10 more than Want2Move!) and the 10-in-1 is priced at RM169. With the 8-in-1, you can try many hairstyles like Straight & Sleek, Ringlets, Tight Curls, Soft Silky Curls, Large Voluminous Curls and Large Waves. 10-in-1 offers two extra type of curls, can't remember what they're called.
Finally I decided to get the 8-in-1 coz it's cheaper and who needs that many type of curls anyway?
The Multistylist set comes with an ugly navy blue travel pouch. (Navy blue is sooo not me!).jpg)

Err...why do all of the tools have to be blue as well? Why can't it be purple or lilac and cute like the Want2Move?

So once I'm home, I immediately tried on one of the curling tongs. I tried the Large Voluminous Curls first. Not much effect on my hair coz my hair is superthick and straight and difficult to style! I had to use the Tight Curls head, just to get a LOOSE curl.
This is me masa muda2 dulu (first year). I spent RM250 on this perm which lasted for only a short while. But Mr.Y loved it.Hehe.
And this is the result of a DIY perm at home today...
Not as good as the one I did at the salon a few years back.This hairstyle takes 1 hour to achieve. And it lasted for only a few minutes. Grr...bengang tul. I think I need one of those curl spray or something.
Well, in conclusion, I had fun messing with my hair. It helped me forget my problems for a while. And I wouldn't use these styling irons everyday, I don't wanna risk ruining my hair. Although it's tempting to use them all the time! Hehe. I think I'll just reserve them for special occassions.

Hahaha i ni mcm org frust kene reject je cakap camni..
Hi! i have the phillips 10 in 1 but u have the 8 in 1 i juz wanna ask u b4 u perm ur hair do u put some kinda lotion on ur hair? thanks! (:
Hi Shirish.
Yes, I did put some lotion onto my hair before I curl it. I used Lucido-l Hair Curl Lotion. It helps hold the curl longer.
But I find that my curls stay on longer if I use normal plastic rollers instead of curling iron.
hi, i am looking for the Phillip 8 in 1 too. could you tell me where exactly you bought it? in Jusco it says 149RM
I bought it at Best Denki KLCC.
hey..do u think this would work on straightened hair..i really wanna to buy this so that i can style up when i go out..but i did rebonding? so wat do u think?
Yes it will work :) Or you can use the Vidal Sassoon straightening brush. But it's quite a hassle coz you have to use it with a hairdryer. I think the Phillips hair straightener works better.
is the straightener good?
It doesn't really work on my hair.My hair is difficult to style. If your hair is easy to style then I guess it'll work for you.
heyy, plz nana i wanna buy this hair styler but there is a costumer in a shop she told me tht the hair straighter is week .. and i found another one in ''brAun'' and i'm really confused what should i buy ? please helps me nana ! =)
Anonymous: I don't know about the Braun hairstyler, but honestly, the Phillips Multistylist isn't working for me! If I want to curl my hair, I will spray on some curling lotion,use plastic curlers and leave it overnight. If I use the Phillips hairstyler, my curls will last only 5 minutes!
HEY NANA!!! WAHT TYPE OF HAIR IS YOURS???? AND WHAT DO YOU SAY DOES THIS THING'S STRAIGHTNER WORKS ON FROZZY HAIR... WHAT GEL OR LOTION CAN WE USE BEFORE STARIGHTNING FOR FRIZZY HAIR!!!PLEEEEEEASE SUJJEST
I have straight hair. I think this Phillips straightener can tame frizzy hair but you have to use it with a straightening/anti-frizz serum. I'm not sure which straightening serum works best. Sorry!
