Good for a month

After about a month of use the coating chips off and the plates turn brown. I'm on my third one... the company kept replaceing them under the warranty, but now the warranty is up and it's just getting thrown in the trash. I thought maybe I just had gotten a couple from a bad batch, but they have all done the same thing. Horrible product and not cheap. Don't waste your money on this!!!
Piece of crap

DONT buy this iron! Its good for about a month, after a month the plates WILL turn brown and when you turn it on, its gonna smell bad (like burnt toast to be exact :P). After 2 months the ceramic will start chipping and when you iron your hair you'll get bits and pieces of ceramic in your hair(eww!)! And plus it snags and pulls your hair and when you do finish ironing your hair, its straight, but dull and frizzie.
Its amazing!

This was my iron of choice before I ordered the Sedu. It's a little weighty but has nice size plates and high heat. It works wonderful on my hair and is one of my favorite irons. Large enough plates to get the job done quickly and my hair had a lot of shine.
its crap

This is amazing, its the second iron I buy and I love this one. It goes through my hair once and it's smooth and shiny, just perfect. What I do is i blowdry my hair quickly after I showe, then the next day I use the flat iron, it lasts the whole day. I read a lot of reviews before I made my decision on what to buy and I suggest you buy this one if you have puffy frizzy tick hair!!
spend your money on one that works

Hi- I purchased this straightener 3 years ago. I have frizzy course hair and was never able to get it as glossy, smooth and straight as the hairdresser- Well people its not because I wasn't using the right products- its because of the FLAT IRON. I am searching for a SEDU now because I hear it is like magic
If you don't have problems staightening your hair- sure this one could work for you
The Babyliss- makes my hair look dry and frizzed out and doesn't stay in humid weather.
Spend the cash- get the best
cheers

I must admit this is a great flat iron BUT after a month the plates will chip like crazy! Remember, the plates are only ceramic COATED not PURE ceramic. If you want a good flat iron I'd suggest one by HairArt. The Sedu is made by HairArt and so many people like it ;) And there's one thing to remember, even if you don't want one by HairArt, get a flat iron that has pure ceramic plates (BaByliss makes a pure ceramic plated iron its the one with the black plates). Other than that (if you do decide to buy this iron...) its great til' it chips!
great product

I have thick shoulder length hair that gets frizzy and out of control in the hot huimid summers of New York City. This product has worked great for keeping my hair smooth and managable. I don't know how I managed so long without it.
awesome

Hey! I bought this hair straightner because my two friends have it and swear by it. I was a little skeptical, but after using it, i fell in love with it right away!! with my old hair straightner it took maybe 20 minutes to get my hair straight, which was good, but with this one, I have my hair done in 10 minutes, if that!! The plates heat up so hot, and make my hair shiny, soft, and awesome! I highly recommend this product!
I`ve had it for 1 year and I love it!

I purchased the Babyliss hair straightener last year through Folica. I am a student, was completely discouraged and uncapable of managing my hair and unable to afford to get it styled more than once or twice a year at a salon. I have very long curly, thick, dry hair. It took a few days to get the iron and I was able to trace it every single day through the mailing system.
I`m careful with the iron, its good quality, works amazing,my sister and I use it every 3-4 days and its in top shape, hasn`t broken and our unmanageable hair looks fantastic. I wish I could annex a picture. It really does a great job at straightening the hair.
Like any heat styling device it does wear out you hair if you don`t know how to use it, but seriously its great you should get it. Now, I can go to school, go out and have absolutely fabulous hair! Thanks folica
Worst Iron and customer service (from Conair) !!

When I first purchased the iron it was ok, but shortly after it began to have a burnt smell and gave my hair tons of static and scorched the ends of my hair. I decided to send it to CONAIR to get a new one, only to discover that CONAIR has rude and horrible customer service. I was supposed to receive the iron in 2-4 weeks after returning it yet it has been about 2 1/2 months and no iron. After all of the phone calls and questioning still no iron and no hope of ever receiving another one. My advice is don't buy the iron because it damages very easily and the warranty isn't a gaurantee.. since no iron is ever returned to you not matter how much you call (CONAIR).
Great Deal!

I highly recommend this product.
I have that "in-between" hair which is not straight enough to work with and not curly enough to look good. I have tried other s-irons that resulted in frizzy hair. This product provides smooth straight hair without the frizz.
My hair is below my shoulders and I can complete the process within 10 minutes.
GREAT!!!

I have thick, curly, frizzy, and unmanageable hair. It used to take almost 2 hours and countless hair products (straightening cream, frizz controllers, etc.)to straighten the mess. So I purchased this straighter in hopes of easing the entire process. It gave me results that I've only been able to achieve at the hair salon in half the time it took before. I no longer use any straightner creams or frizz controllers because this product does it all. My hair has never looked better and I'd recommend this product for anyone and everyone!!
