"Hi, I'm Liz Muller from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip, we're going to discuss why ceramic irons are better than your regular irons from back in the days. But I've also begun to use a lot more ceramic irons, why? Because of the way that it heats up and how well it keeps the hair shiny and it conditions the hair wonderfully. What I should say is keeps the hair in good condition. I'm flat ironing the hair with this iron and I notice that the hair is staying really nice, soft. At the same time shiny, and it's straightening the hair just as much as my Marcel irons, okay? Marcel irons, the thing is that you'll find that you have to heat them up and keep going back and forth to the stove, and with this iron, you just can keep going in one stroke. You don't have to go back in and out. It's time consuming. So you'll find that these ceramic irons are much easier and better and nicer on the hair than your Marcel irons. Thank you. This has been Liz Muller."
