Product Rating: 5 CORTEX IS AMAZING
Reviewer: SAMANTHA   Sun Mar 30 2008

Regardless of what anyone says, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING STRAIGHTENER/ CURLER EVER!!!! I have had mine for over 2 years and it is GREAT! I bought mine in Toronto, Canada and the girls at the booth sho sold it to me were really nice!!! If you have had trouble, you should go and get it exchanged. For those of you who want a refund after you have caused the straightener damage, you can hardly expect the person at the stands whom you bought it from to do anything. It clearly says on the product that it is final and that there is a ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER's WARRANTY. Read ANY hair straightener warranty slip and it will say the same. No place EVER covers physical damage. If you are too stupid to know how to handle and properly place away a hair straightener, you should have never purchased one in the first place. THESE ARE PROFESSIONAL IRONS. Most CHI models are not even pure ceramic! CORTEX ARE 100% solid ceramic plates. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BEST BEST HAIR STRAIGHTENER, and if used properly will last and last!

I got my Pink one at the Mall in Fl. I too paid 110 dollars for mine. I did get a Brush and some kind of hair cream with mine. well they told me it had a lifetime warranty and i could get it replaced. Well now they won't replace it. Look at photos to see what mine did. I could have gotten seriously hurt.

Product Rating: 1 It breaks after the warrenty is over...
Reviewer: Alex   Wed Mar 05 2008

I bought the same straightner, but in black. It lasted me a good two months. I recently droped it accidently, I went back to the place I got it from and the sales lady told me that they could not return it because they were not CORTEX anymore and that the reason the CORTEX straigtners were no longer on sale was because people came back with complains. The straightner made my hair even more damaged than it was before. I personaly would really like my CHI straightner back. Everyone tells me that the PINK CHI is a lot better than the black one.

Product Rating: 4 Great product & not over priced!
Reviewer: Cathy from Orange County, CA  Tue Feb 12 2008

I am so impressed with this flat iron! I have spent over 200.00 on the same type of flat irons and to believe I bought this at Marshall's dept store for 29.99!!! Yes!! you heard right!!! $29.99!!!! Don't pay more than 50.00 for this product. I bought the Orange flat iron and it's amazing!!! :)

Reviewer: erin wrad-williams from mall stand  Mon Feb 11 2008

bought it and the ceramic plates melted off in the first week. I retured it, pluged it in and within 10 mins one of the plates melted off again. RIP OFF!!! bought it for 190 bucks at a mall stand.

Product Rating: 5 Worth it!!!!
Reviewer: Rebecca from Glenview,IL  Sun Feb 10 2008

I actually bought this hair straightner about 3 days ago, I searched around online and on Folica.com to see the reviews people have said about this straightner. I went to the mall recently and purchased the Cortex straightner, and I have to say that this is one of the BEST straightners I've ever had. I've been straightning my hair for over 7 years, so I have been through a bunch of straightners. Please dont get tricked into buying the Cortex straightners at the mall, because they sell them for $110.00. At first when I saw them promoting this straightner, I sat down and let them show me how and what it did, it was ok but i thought that it was WAYYY to expensive. I have to say that out of all the straightners Ive tried this is really the best! I have thick, long curly hair, and it really is a struggle to straighten. A bonus about this straightner is that it can flip, straightin,curl, and make waves. For my type of hair this is amazing I would warn getting this straightner for very thin hair because it might damage ur hair for girls with thick-ish hair or normal hair, I would recommend it!

Product Rating: 4 pretty good straightener
Reviewer: Paul Milburn   Sat Feb 02 2008

this cortex is very good..i feel that it makes my hair much softer and easy to comb. Although it is supposed to curl my hair i have read the directions from the box and i cant curl my hair with it, it might just be me doing it wrong. My hair is very very thin but there is a lot of it and i feel that it is annoying not knowing how to curl with it. I also feel that is makes my hair silker.The cortez is a good straightener and i recomemed it.

Product Rating: 1 Disappointed
Reviewer: Lisa Bateman from Belleville, IL  Sat Feb 02 2008

The first time I plugged in the straightner I smelled something burning it was the swival cord, it started smoking. Im glad I noticed it before it burned my hair or caught something else on fire.

Product Rating: 4 Great gift
Reviewer: NCT from PA  Fri Feb 01 2008

Received this product as a Christmas gift does a great job straigtening but can't seem to figure out how to curl my hair with it.

Product Rating: 5 WOW - WOW - WOW -
Reviewer: Cheryl from California  Tue Jan 29 2008

I have very unruly hair and after using this tool it is smooth and silky. I truly can't believe it. I am 49 years old and to think I can actually have straight hair after all these years truly amazes me.

I highly recommend.

Product Rating: 5 I love My Cortex Ceramic Straightner
Reviewer: Charlotte M. from Melbourne, FL  Mon Jan 28 2008

I first saw this straightner at one of the kiosks in the local mall. I was approached by a smooth talking rep who wanted to straighten a section of my hair to show me how wonderful this product truly was. I let him straighten a few sections of my hair. I have coarse ethnic hair which is not the easiest to straighten but it looked wonderful and felt super soft. Then he hit me with the price: $189.00. I almost fainted!!! He proceeded to lower the price. I got him down to $129.00, then it hit me. If he's willing to drop the price this low, then I need to research this tool on the internet to ensure that I'm not getting ripped off. I rushed home and researched different websites but found the folica.com website to have the best value for the same Cortex Professional Ceramic Straightener for only $59.99 (free shipping). I'm very glad that I took the time to research this before giving in to sales pressure. I love my Cortez immensely. Thanks folica.com for having the best price on the market.

Reviewer: lizzzzz from orange county  Sat Jan 12 2008

got this one for christmas, its good for fine/thin hair and just for straightening. not good for curling, it leaves dents. it could get a bit hotter. buy if you just want to use for straightening, buy the chi if you want one for curling/both

Reviewer: da from catasa  Wed Dec 26 2007

If you are approached at the mall, first kick the b---- and run like hell in the opposite direction. These people are lairs and thieves.

Reviewer: Ashley from Essex Junction, Vermont  Fri Nov 23 2007

I was at the mall today and a person straightened and curled part of my hair with this product. When i feel the strip she straighen and the rest of my hair is is so soft, and silky. It is still straight after the whole day.

Product Rating: 3 good
Reviewer: Anna   Sun Aug 19 2007

The cortex hair straightener was good to begin with then after a while it began to not get as hot anymore and take longer and longer to heat up even when the dial is all the way to 200.. the chi straightener is the way to go
