Flat Iron Review #3: FHI Platform
The FHI Platformis the the FHI Runway’s younger sister. It hasn’t quite developed all of the features of the Runway but it is still a formidable flat iron in its own right. And it is a lot cheaper, costing less than $100, which I know is always a plus. The Platform flat iron is a great choice for those who want a quality flat iron for what I call department store prices. Just look at all of the features pros of this hair straightener, as well as the short list of cons:
FHI Platform Features:
- 3 layers of baked ceramic plates
- Variable heat settings
- Can be used on damp or dry hair
- Floating plates
- Protects color and fading
- Heats up to 450°

Users Love This Flat Iron Because It:
- Smoothes hair
