A few weeks ago Irresistible Me asked me if I would like to review their Diamond flat iron straightener, and as my hair has a tendency to be a bit frizzy and I hate blow-drying it, I jumped at the chance.
First, a bit about Irresistible Me, this company provides a full range of 100% natural clip-in hair extensions, wigs, hair accessories and hair tools. They ship worldwide and offer free international shipping above $150. They also offer free unlimited exchanges and returns, which are free for US customers. (International customers will have to cover the shipping fees of their exchange or return.)
I was very impressed with both the delivery service and the quality of the product. Read on for my full review of the Diamond flat iron, more photos, before and after photos of my hair and for a great discount code off your first order.
Review of Irresistible Me Diamond flat iron straightener
Preliminary impressions
First of all, I was very impressed with the customer service and the speed of delivery. My order arrived very quickly and the packaging was perfect.
The diamond flat iron straightener comes in a beautiful, sturdy black cardboard box with a magnetic closure that will be useful for future storage as well as being very practical for travels. It also comes with a one year warranty.
The promise
The Diamond Flat Iron is a 1″ flat iron with Diamond Hi-Tech. I was so impressed when I read that the floated ceramic plates are coated with a mix of crushed diamond particles and tourmaline to straighten without damaging the hair and to reduce frizz..
The diamond and tourmaline technology will also protect your hair and keep all the natural hair oils, color and moisture in, leaving your hair healthy, shiny and frizz free.
It’s also a digital “smart” styling tool with some great features such as a heat display that shows the current temperature all the time, an auto shut-off after 30 minutes if you don’t use it which is super practical for someone like me who has a tendency to leave things plugged in, and floating plates that self-adjust to eliminate pressure points so that it will work smoothly through your hair without pulling. There are also lots more features, which I will tell you about below.
So, this all sounds perfect. But, how did I actually get on with it?
Ease of use
First of all, it is really simple to use, with only three buttons – Power/ Hotter and Cooler and that’s it!! Also, all the buttons are on the inside so that you don’t accidentally change the settings and fry your hair!
There is a very rapid heat up time (the iron heats up to 450F/230C in 15 seconds)
As mentioned above – the intelligent heat display means you can see the temperature all the time, and it automatically changes the temperature display to Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the voltage, which makes it perfect for traveling.
There is also a gauge which shows the level (level 1 is for fine hair (250 to 300F), level 2 for normal hair (300 to 350F) and level 3 for thick or coarse hair (350 to 450F))
You can easily adjust the temperature, using the hotter/cooler buttons. When you press the buttons to increase or decrease the heat, you see the desired temperature flashing a couple times on the display, then it gets back to the current temperature.
The diamond flat iron is surprisingly light and I love the 360° cord that swivels around, which means that you can easily style the back of your head without the cord getting tangled! The cord is also very long (over 8 feet) so you don’t have to stay perfectly still while you’re using it and you can style your hair easily even if the plug is not next to the mirror!
I also love the fact that there is a ‘thumb print’ for a comfortable grip and cool tips to avoid burning your fingers. (Believe it or not I have not only managed to burn my fingers, but also my arms and even my leg in the past – so I really appreciated this feature!)
Finally, as already mentioned, it has an automatic shut off feature so no need to worry if you forget to unplug it!
Results
I decided to start with the straightening feature as I’m not very good at styling, but I do plan to also try curling my hair with this feature.
My hair has a tendency to frizzy if I don’t blow dry it and I find that blowdrying can take a long time, so I decided to let my hair dry naturally and then use the flat iron to straighten it.
The iron lived up to its promise of ease of use and my hair did not feel pulled at all. It took about ten minutes to straighten all my hair (which is significantly quicker than the time I take to blow dry it).
You can see the before and after photos below but overall, my hair felt silky soft and looked smooth and shiny. I didn’t use any products at all on my hair, so that is a saving!
As I said above, I haven’t tried curling my hair with the Irresistible Me Diamond flat iron yet, but I can’t wait to do so!
Before/After
As my hair is quite fine and this was my first time using the diamond flat iron, I used a medium temperature setting.

Overall
My final thought is that I LOVE this product. I was going to include a section on the disadvantages of this flat iron, but I honestly have nothing negative to say!
I achieved silky soft, shiny hair without burning myself and that is a result!
I can definitely recommend this to anyone like me who wants a simple idiot-proof, yet high-quality tool. You can find the diamond flat iron straightener online on the Irresistible Me website, for $149.

I’m always worried that I’m going to forget to turn off my hair straightener, so having an automatic switch is so important! Love how silky it makes your hair look!
http://thecourtneydiaries.com
Thank you Courtney! I know what you mean about forgetting to turn it off – one time I was on my way to the airport and had to turn around because I thought I’d left the straightener plugged in! xo
Hair has become straight after this, you look lovely with your straightened hair(:
Thank you so much x
You look so lovely babe! You know my hair iron is not working at all and I need to buy one again. Hehee! This is really a nice product to try on by the way.

Wow that worked really well! I have a Chi straightener but I don’t really use it. I think my hair looks better with its natural wave 🙂
Thank you Colleen – I like mine wavy too sometimes but less messy waves than my natural look! 🙂
The end result is so pretty! I love a handy hair tool like this.

Cool review, I actually was thinking about getting a hair straightener! xo, Sophia
Thank you Sophia! I can definitely recommend this one!
Loved this review! I usually don’t use flat irons because it really damages my hair (I already dye my hair which makes it really thin and dry), but may have to give this one a try?! Thoughts on that? I’ve never tried Irresistible Me products before.
Xo Lauren
Thanks Lauren! I think this flat iron would be fine for your hair as I have very damaged hair and it was definitely better after using the flat iron (usually it’s the opposite!). xx
Review is great, your beautiful smile caught my attention.
Thank you Maria xx
This is one of the best flat irons I’ve used. Doesn’t overheat and auto shut-off. Can’t beat that!

Wow, your hair is so long and it looks so gorgeous! Really great results! x
