The hair straightener, though not as famous as the GHD, is equally worthy of your attention.     In fact, it turned one T&C editor with less-than-favorable opinions on flat irons into a full-blown believer.     The portiateam features a larger stature and wide plates, allowing for greater control at lower temperatures.     It's easy to use and can be used without a cord, making it ideal for travel.     Intelligent heating technology enables it to respond to your specific hair type and adapt the temperature accordingly.     Translation: no matter what your locks are like, this is a straightener that won't leave them limp and fried.
