SalonTech Debuts Silicone 450 Flat Iron - Win It Here!

Any woman who has had a love affair with her flat iron knows that silky smoothness often comes at a price: hair health.

But a new flat iron is attempting to change that with the help of silicone technology.

The SalonTech Silicone 450 contains three conditioning silicone bars directly embedded in its ceramic plates, so that strands are conditioned and sealed everytime you pass a section through the iron. The bars also help keep the hair in proper straightening position, so that strays don't fall off the sides while you're ironing.

The technology takes a cue from the haircare world, where cult products like Biosilk have transformed the vitality of locks through the help of silky-feeling silicone derivatives that coat and protect strands from heat styling treatments.

And like many irons designed to power up as fast as possible for the increasingly impatient consumer, SalonTech's version heats up to the recommended 450 degrees in an impressive 17 seconds flat, followed by a beep to let you know it's good to go.

We're also loving the motion sensor that shuts off the iron if it hasn't been in use for 30 minutes. We can't be the only ones who suffer from nagging did-I or didn't-I turn-the-iron-off thoughts all day.

While the $200 price tag is steep, it's not unusual for the professional-level flat iron market, where irons can often be counted on to endure and produce maximum results for years.

Yet, we know that everyone has been on a budget -- so StyleList has secured a free SalonTech 450 flat iron just for our readers!

To enter the giveaway:
-Leave a confirmed comment below telling us why you want to try the flat iron.
-The comment must be left by June 7, 2010.
-You may enter only once.
-One winner will be selected in a random drawing.
-One winner will receive a SalonTech Silicone 450 flat iron, valued at $200.
-Open to legal residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia and Canada (excluding Quebec) who are 18 and older.

I would love to try this iron. It is a constant battle for me to keep my frizzy hair smooth. I work as a RN in a NICU under constant heat and humidity and I live in Florida. I am also very concerned about the health of my hair. Please oh Please pick me!

I would really love to try this flatiron because I love the idea it aims to keep hair healthy. This is one of the reasons I currently almost never starighten my hair - because I don't want to ruin it! Seems like it would work fantastically as well, which my current straightenor does not, as my hair is never left completely straight.

I would love to be entered in this giveaway. I work as an RN & I barely have time to blow dry my hair or even go shopping to buy anything, especially a new flat iron. The one I currently have is starting to give my hair a burnt smell. =(
PLEASE PICK ME!

I'm in high school and don't really have a lot of time to spend on my hair in the morning. I could never afford this quality strightner. The idea that it makes your hair healthy is brilliant and I would love to be the lucky chick who gets to try it. Good luck to all!! ;)

I would love to try this flat iron to see if it will help with hair breakage. I feel like my hair can never grow much longer than it currently is because of the damage done by my current flat iron.

I would lovelovelove to have this straightener because my hair looks like a lion's mane in the mornings. Besides that, it would be a good defense against my (mean!) boyfriend!

Boy could I ever use that!
I work in the grooming/bathing salon at petsmart, and my jobs washing the dogs. Never have I had such frizzy messy hair! It's worth it, cause I love the animals, but heck do I wish I could keep my hair under control!

I would love to have this flat iron because, now that it is summer I swim about 4 times a week for work as a camp counselor. I wouldn't have to worry about if my hair is going to look good after!

I would like to win this flat iron because I like that this Salon Tech Silicone 450 helps coat and protects hair strands from heat styling, plus it shuts off in 30 minutes when not in use. I have thick wavy hair and my straightener does not straighten my hair completely, it also damaged my hair.

I would love to win thsi flat iron as I have extremely curly hair. It is hard to deal with, frizzy and dry. I could use this for days when I want to change it up a bit. Also I have a drugstore flat iron for right now and could use a new better quality one

I would love to win this product because I feel like the flat iron that I'm currently using is destroying my hair! Not only that, but I love the fact that it heats up in 17 seconds because I am always turning my flat iron on ahead of time just to be sure it's at its maximum heat.

The motion sensor timer is brilliant! The worst feeling is being far from home and having the panic uh-oh moment where you think/realize your straightener is turned on at home all alone.
