Image: Say hello to Dafni.
I haven’t been bothered to straighten my hair in years, for two reasons. (1) I’ve grown to love my natural waves, and (2) I’d rather hit snooze three more times than dedicate a precious chunk of my morning to ironing them out. The only thing I ever straighten these days is my fringe.
However, my interest in hair straightening was reignited when I saw a new tool being advertised in the lead up to Christmas. The ad featured a model turning her hair stick-straight by simply running a chunky brush through it, Marcia Brady-style. Wizardry!
This magical styler was the Dafni hair straightener, and it seems everyone is talking about them. Understandably so — who wouldn’t want to knock out their straightening and de-knotting processes in one stroke?
Curiosity got the best of me so I decided to give the brush a try. Here’s how it all went down. (Post continues after video.)
Note: This was done quite speedily and not in front of a mirror, so the result is not as neat or straight as it could be. I definitely missed a few spots.
So does it work?
Despite my initial hair-melting fears, I was impressed by how quick and efficient the Dafni tool was. It took only minutes to brush out my waves and I didn’t need to go over sections many times. The end result was soft and smooth (just ask my colleagues, who kept touching it). That said, my hair is quite fine and short, so it doesn’t usually put up much of a fight.
