Love it, Love it, Love it! I'm an African-American female and I can't tell you how many compliments I've received. Even my hairdresser asked if I've been seeing another stylist! It was hard to get a technique down at first, but i got better with time. Don't give up if your hair doesn't come out perfect the first few trys!
im pleased with my purchase

i bought this for my mother who has hair on the shorter side. after she blow dries it she just smoothes it over with this iron and it comes out nice. i tried the iron my self and it heats up quick, and the plates glide nice and smooth over the hair. it leaves the hair nice and smooth and straight. i have no complaints about this flat iron.

After shampooing and conditioning, and blow drying a head of hair that is naturally kinky and coarse this flat iron went through the hair easier than slicing a piece of cake!
Result: Pure silk in the end!
For someone who's still using a Chi iron or a professional using an oven with a thermal flat iron- make your job easier with this iron. I would highly recommend this iron.
I've had the FHI iron for almost three months and still loving it. Excellent quality!
IT'S OK but pretty good

Good deal for the price I guess but does not work as well as the Chi or Tru Ceramic that I had previously. I live in Houston, TX so I am always fighting the humidity and while the others would withstand in the wet air, with this one my hair is wavy again by the end of the afternoon. Not a bad product...just not as good as the others. The price was right though. :)
Great product

This fhi iron is great. It does the job of what I expected. I have course hair and i don't perm it anymore and all i do is wash dry and use the flat iron and it works great.

I decided to get this iron because it was a good price and I wanted to get something less mainstream than something like the CHI. However I highly regretted it as soon as I got it! When you clamp down the iron if you look carefully you will see that the plates don't close completely. Only the end of the plates do! (unless you clamp it down very firmly which will cause your hair to burn more). I returned it because I want the my hair to receive EVEN heat distribution.
I've Finally Found an Iron to Love

My husband purchased this iron for me and I love it. I'm African American with healthy, although coarse, color-treated hair. I've been trying forever to find an iron that gives me the same look that a professional stylist does. I tried the CHI and it made my hair hard and brittle. I returned it and purchased a generic CHI, which in my opinon worked better. However, my new iron still didn't leave me with a silky finish. Furthermore, after a day or two the humid NC weather made my hair frizzy and brittle looking. In comes FHI! Now my hair is silky straight and stays that way for days. Another added bonus is that it takes half the time that the other flat irons took to straighten my hair. It really just glides through. If your searching for an iron to love, I definitely suggest trying the FHI.
I love my FHI but . . .

I've had my FHI for a year or 2 now (can't remember exactly when I bought it). It still works great except for the fact the the protective coating has worn off the edges of the plates - not the flat surface. I didn't pay much attention to that fact until I started noticing that I'm loosing some hair each time I run the iron through my hair. Darn! I would have continued to use the iron until it stopped working, but I don't want to continue to loose hair each time I use it, which is pretty much every day.
Much better than the CHI!!!

I have owned this iron for about 3 1/2 years now. I have absolutely loved it! It has started to look a little old so I had decided to replace it back around Thanksgiving. My hairdresser told me they were having a sale on the Chis so I decided to buy one. After two weeks of continual use...I hated it! I decided to go back to my old beat up FHI that still works much better even after using daily for 3 1/2 years! I just can't say enough about this. I have above the shoulders highlighted hair & it's perfect every day thanks to FHI!
Wonderful flat iron!

I've tried over-the-counter ceramic flat irons in the past and finally decided to purchase a professional one. I purchased the 1"FHI w/variable temp controls and love it. I can totally straighten my daughter's natural, kinky hair on 425 degrees. I can wear my relaxed hair straight or curl it with this flat iron at 300degrees. It also makes it possible for me to go longer inbetween relaxer applications because of how it straightens my new growth. If anything ever happens to my iron, I'll be buying another one immediately!
Works Wonders

I bought my FHI straightener about one year ago and it still works like it is brand new! The last few straighteners I purchased (HOT TOOLS), worked less and less as good as each day went by and they didn't even last a year. I dont even have to think about buying another any time soon because this one is perfect. The plates dont even burn out like my previous ones. And it is so easy to clean. The plates are still shining like new. My sister in law has curly hair and can never get it straightened and the FHI honestly does work wonders! I get compliments about my hair every single time I go out. I LOVE IT! I would definitely recommend to anyone!!
Great flat iron!!

My daughter & I both have thick, naturally wavy, defiant hair. We have tried a few cheap flat irons that really didn't straighten our hair that well. Our hairstylist uses a CHI which works well for both of us so my daughter wanted a CHI. The reviews for the CHI were not that good and were much better for the FHI. I actually tried the WIGO first because of the price(bad move....you get what you pay for)but it didn't straighten much better than the cheap irons so I sent it back & bought the FHI. I could not be more happier with the FHI. It staightens our hair in half the time the cheaper irons did and leaves our hair straight & silky. It works every bit as good as the reviews said and as good as the CHI! I would definately buy another FHI!!
Great Deal!!!

This is one of those lucky deals. Price is cheap and product is great. I`m a hairdresser and own 10 diferent flat irons, and this one is high up there with T3, CHI and Paul Mitchell, but for a bargain price.
Like having a new hairstyle!

I purchased my FHI flat iron a couple of months ago and am very pleased with the results. It's exactly like the one my hair stylist uses. My hair is a bit coarse and has slight wave and cowlicks. It was a fight to get my hair straight for my new cut and then it wouln't last through the day. Now it's easily straightened and stays pretty much all day. It's so great not to worry about those few places sticking out by noon. So far I'm pleased. I'll have to see how long it lasts before I say I'll purchase another.
I've seen it all...

I have really curly hair, I'm talking thick, tiny ringlets. It's great curly, but I love it straight. I've tried several straighteners. I started with a conair, which didn't do it for me. The straight never held if it even got that straight to begin with. I used a Helen of Troy straightener for a while which was good, but then I knew I could have better. My hair stylist uses the CHI, and it was great. I wanted to buy my own and saw the FHI was much cheaper. I have had this straightener for about 4 years and I know it is fantastic. It straightens my hair and the straight stays. It works just as well as the CHI and it is cheaper. I love the adjustable setting which allows you to find the best fit for your hair. It is great for when certain parts of your hair may be thinner, such as bangs or etc. My friends use my straightener too, everyone knows it is good. I have recently just purchased a new one because I dropped mine several times, but like I said I had it for 4 years. Also one of the reviews mentions how they recieved a pink heatproof iron pouch and was unhappy with it. I recieved the black one with mine, and haven't had problems with fitting it in the pouch or anything. Honestly, overall this straightner is great, the few people who have listed bad reviews are really a surprise to me because my hair is basically as curly as it gets AND its thick! This straightener gets my hair straight and it stays that way untill I wash it. The price is great, and it is better for the thickness not to be much bigger then this one because it does less damage to the hair. I also recommend some sort of hair protectant spray with any straightener.
