Beware!!!
Reviewer: Julie   2009-11-08

I have (or had) beautiful, naturally curly hair. But, I went to an event and someone convinced me to let them straighten my hair. I ended up buying this product. The next morning, I washed my hair as usual. I have very even, curly hair. But, all my curl didn't return. Parts of my hair were curly, but the curl never returned to other parts. I even had an excellent stylist who has been working on my hair for some time (doing curly cuts) try to get the curl back into my hair. She said she had never seen anything like it. We ended up cutting the straight pieces. I never used the product and tried to return it, but she said all sales were final. If you love your hair...don't use this product. It will damage your hair.

Decent while it lasted.

I have had a cortex for a year and a half. I just ordered a CHI Dazzle pink, because I dropped the straightener and a huge chunk of one of the ceramic plates fell off! Now it tugs at your hair even more than before. I hate it now, but it was alright when I had it. Wouldn't recommend it though.

the best ever

this cortex flat iron works great on all hair types. even corse, nappy, african american hair. i love this flat iron.

Ok but not worth the money

I bought this and it works fine if you use sparingly. It damages your hair a lot. my $20 straightner i had when i was 16, didn't do this much damage. You have to use ALOT of heat protection sprays just so your hair won't completely fry. Buy something like a sedu or chi if you want better results.

It's wonderful!

So my cortex just got delivered to my mail box yesterday! I ordered it from foilca.com I heard about it through a friend who's older sister bought it from the mall kiosk for 200$ I paid 60$ + 15$ S&H What a steal from folica! The plates glide so smoothly over your hair and keep it straight all day long! But like other straightners, it wont last in misty weather. I love it already and it's just a dream to use. I've only had it for 2 days though. So I should write a review in a few months too.
