The cloud nine wide straightener comes in a black hard case box that has a silver cloud nine logo embossed on the top and side this box has a cardboard sleeve, and is quite heavy. It looks really impressive and would make a great "presentation gift".
When you open the box there is a turquoise inlay around the straightener. With a card inside the lid which reads " We want flexibility, creativity, individuality. We want to look natural, We want volume, body and shine. We want healthy hair. In short, we want an evolution in styling. Less heat more style. This is a really nice touch which adds a large amount of professional feel that you get when you open the box.
The straighteners are set inside a moulded plastic case with a paper inset covering them. First impressions is how do I get them out. They lift out to one side, underneath is found the accessories, heat mat and styling guide/guarantee.
The straighteners themsleve are smooth carcoal black they feel quite substanstial not heavy but solid and well built. One of the first unique point of the C9 is its protective heat sleev this is a translucent light blue sheaf that fits over the straighteners when not in use and keep them together serving as both heat protector and safe storage I really liked the convience of this over leaving them around open when hot or cooling down.
The straighteners have a built in 2 pin travel adaptor that can be used in the euro zone with the same voltage 90v 240v, 50Hz ac. On the handle is the cloud nine logo inset in silver with further inset on the join. Inside is the controls a variable temperature control which goes from 0 to 230c underneath is the security hologram. According to Cloud Nine these holograms can be counterfeited so they built in a RFID chip inside each pair. This "tags" each pair with there serial number making them impossible to copy as Cloud Nine Hair hold the master list from the factory.
What are they like to use
Once switched on dry straight from the box they heated up to base temperature of 30 degrees in around 30 secondss up to mid range temp 150 degrees in 50 seconds.
I styled my hair at 150 following the instructions for medium hair waves. The results where stunning really easy the plates glide through your hair. The plates give a little and look to have a special coating like a shiny mirror look to them. Cloud nine claim they have a secret ingredient that adds shine to the hair. I have to say this really does work, although I use a shine spray to finish.
I adjusted the temperature up to max which is 200 degrees plus for the straight hair look. This took around 20 secs upto max temperature the indicator lights gradually build up and when temperatures achieved give a resound beep.
Again used the to straighten really great natural finish. The guide really helps providing guidance and tips of how to style and get the looks you want. Its very precise offering eact temperatures that should be used. I have fine hair so I always use a a heat protect serum before applying any heat to my hair. I use before blow drying or using hair irons for the sake of around £10 they last for ages and keeps the hair protected over time. When I finished using unplug poped over the sleeve back in the box.
Conclusion
There are lots of hair straighteners out there on the market by different brands different high street names even. What's different about Cloud Nine? they have a real quality about them, they feel substantial and a great investment for your hair with the excellent build quality there a serious hair iron. A great chance to have a little piece of hair salon quality.
Backed up with a 24 month guarantee there a great buy for those serious about their hair. They look great and really impressive, so much that I think anyone would like to have them showing of in their dressing room.
The built in chip to stop counterfeiting will help buys be able to shop around for the best deals and not be worried about where their being sold from.
