This was my first flat iron purchase ever. After extensive research I chose to get an FHI iron and it is amazing. I'm african american and my hair is relaxed but I try not to relax too often. I needed a good straightener for when my hair is 9-16 weeks post relaxer because at this point its hard to even get a comb through it and this iron straightens fantastically! I love it, it gets my roots very smooth at 370 degrees and I like this iron so much I purchased the fhi technique iron that is on sale now at folica.com as well! I may stretch my relaxer longer because with this iron your hair gets relaxer straight. I highly recommend it and I find that folica has the best price on these irons.

Great product for African Americans. I ruined mines and tried Coroliss but it didn't compare so I had to go back to my trustful FHIs. My stylist uses it and they're the experts.
a best buy for the money

I love this flat iron!
I borrowed my friend's and fell in love with it so decided to get my own. It heats up quickly, and because it gets so hot and is so high quality, takes a fraction of the time to straighten my hair compared to my old flat iron. My hair stays straight too, even if it's humid.
I highly recommend this flat iron. It's such a great buy!

I had this iron for nearly two years now and after a ton of abuse I'm starting to eperience some problems. THe iron woked perfectly till I left it on for about a full day till I found it still on against my wooden desk on a carpeted floor. Miraculously, the place didn't burn down but now the iron doesn't as well and I'll probably buy a new one.
loveit!

Origionally I saw everyone's reviews and didn't think it could be that good. I was looking for a straightener, like the CHI that could also curl your hair. This can definitely do both. I can now straighten my hair completely in about 10 minutes instead of 20 to 30 and it feels less damaged after I straighten it which is weird. I definitely wouldn't pay more or less for anything besides this one.
Excellent hair iron, combined benefits of ceramic and tourmaline technology!

This was my very first hair iron, I have always been terrified of destroying my hair so I never allowed myself to consider purchasing an straightener. But after one too many bad hair days I decided it was time to start considering buying a good quality straightener. I researched as much as possible on all different brands and finally decided to go with the FHI after seeing all the good reviews and reading about the benefits of tourmaline. I was still very nervous though because even with all the good reviews, the negative reviews haunted me more. But I crossed my fingers and ordered one anyway. And I am happy to say I have been very pleased with the results! My hair is long(about to the middle of my back) and is very wavy and fluffy with a mind of its own. But with just five minutes of quick touch ups with the FHI left my hair soft and silky. And when I actually spend time to iron small sections at a time the result is even better! If your hair is really thick or curly you will have to go over sections a couple times but overall I thought this was an excellent iron, I'd recommend it to anyone! It heats up super fast, the plates are smooth and dont snag your hair, the cord is long enough that you dont get tangled up in it. The end of the iron does get super hot though, you have to be really careful not to burn your ears.
YAY!! Finally a FlatIron thats excellent!

I was first introduced into this flat iron by my hair stylist, but then he told me what brand and where i might buy it...so i came on folicia. I was still suspicious because I thought maybe it was his technique that made my hair(African American hair with no relaxer 3c/4a) hair swing and honestly look like a weave...but no. I purchased it and after doing my hair the first time, it looked exactly like it does when its done in the shop. It saves LOTS of money and time. I previously had a hot tools flat iron, which in comparsion worked horribly. This flat iron is definitely a keeper if you're AA and want very straight, sexy, straight hair! Also its great for turning out on the ends or curling under!
Wow!

I purchased this 1" iron, my first ever! I HATE doing my hair - quite frankly, I was never any good at it! However, I went ahead and bought this iron for my hair, which is texturized, and normally worn curly/'natural', and it's been fantastic. Separately, I have been seeking ways to avoid chemicals for my two very active daughters, ages 6 (swims year round, and gymnastics) & 9 (competitive gymnastics) ... I do braids, and even a pressing comb for the six year old (who's hair is so thick you can hardly get a comb thru it!) ... and this flat iron has worked out their hair just as well as my own (keep in mind mine is processed, theirs is natural)! The variable heat setting is critical when you're in a multi-woman household. My only complaint so far would be the cord has the feature to keep it from winding up, but it doesn't work and I do have to stop and unwind the cord myself periodically.

i bought this flat iron about 3 1/2 years ago and i have neverrr had a problem with it. my hair is pretty wavy and curly at times and it makes my hair sooo straight and perfect. i love how you can curl your hair with it too, its a little difficult but still its amazing. im buying a new one now. the only reason i have to do so is because i left it on and totally forgot about it for about 10 hours or something on the burn proof mat or whatever its called. so basically i burnt it out, but if i wasnt so stupid to do that it would still be working. so for me i had it for 3 1/2 years if not more. i highly recommend this flat iron to everyone
Wonderful!

I got my FHI on Christmas day. I used it, and it works marvelously! My stylist has used a CHI, but my FHI works much better! I have thick, wavy hair, and my hair comes out pin straight, and shiny. I add a couple of products to protect against heat, and my hair turns out looking wonderful. I would recomend this product to anyone looking to get just got back from the salon looking hair.
Amazing product

I bought the FHI for my mother for Christmas 2006....I did a lot of research on the internet and finally decided on this product as people claimed it is very comparable to the CHI and even better. My mom has fine curly hair. She absolutely loved her FHI. She claims that it is an amazing product and the temperature control is really great for her fine curly hair...She told me that the frizz disappeared and her hair turned out silky and static free...She said it was the best Christmas present ever!
This was my first purchase from Folica. I was skeptical as I live in Canada….However, everything turned out amazing…. I will definitely be buying more products from Folica - very pleased with the product the service and delivery was super quick....Also, when I called to inquire on the different products, the staff was super helpful, patient and answered all my questions....

to the review about how hot the iron gets and that it breaks your hair off. my hair has been through the ringer with color, highlights, lowlights, you name it, and i use this flat iron and it makes all the difference. the secret is, taking VERY special care of your hair on a daily basis meaning, use good shampoos thata dont dry your hair out. i use blonde glam by redken for color and the conditioner is awesome really! as well as, periodically treating your hair with something similar to redkens DEEP FUEL. you also MUST use heat protector before blow drying and of course something WITHOUT alcohol on the ends when straightening like pomade of some discription (just a tiny bit through the ends or it will get too greasy) sounds like alot but my hair is in pretty good condition for all it goes through. its all in the care you take of your hair prior to styling.
good advice take it or leave it

I would like to tell everyone out there that if they are interested in a flat iron, that the FHI is the one to buy. I can't tell you how many compliments I have had about my hair since I have been using it. People are always asking me, "what do you use in your hair to make it so straight and bouncey?" My response is always, "it's just the new flat iron I now use".
love it

love it love it love it. i just cut my hair short and my old 2" store bought straightner just was not cutting it anymore. My hairstylist used the chi on one side of my hair and the FHI on the other and I actually liked the FHI better. The FHI has extreemly fast heat up, really easy to work, and does its job really well. This product comes highly recommended.
Absolutely Great Product!

I bought my daughter a CHI iron at a cost of about $100 and on vacation I tried it and really like it. While shopping for one for myself I was advised to buy the FHI iron instead. I'm so glad I did! It's a great product and I've been using mine almost daily for about 2 years. I only have to straightn my hair every other day (in other words, only after I've washed it). With a small dab of Biosilk and my FHI iron, my hair is fabulous in about 15 minutes or less, with no damage. I would definitely buy another one, but I'm guessing this one will last me a long time since it still works as well as it did on day one!

My hair has never looked or felt better. It is easy to use on damp hair or dry. My style holds even in rain and snow. It stays silky, smooth and just how I styled it for days. I don't have to get trims as often either. I've been using this iron for almost 2 yr. After just using it for a few weeks, my hair's condition improved. I noticed that when I let my hair air dry it looked ok. The condition wasn't as dry and fly away as before with other irons that dryed out my hair and caused split ends. With my FHI, my hair is longer, silker and prettier then ever before. I LOVE this iron. I would buy another if this one ever breaks.
FHI iron with Temp control

Looking through all the choices, it was difficult to make a decision which hot iron to purchase. I settled on the FHI iron because it is not as heavily advertised as some of the others and I felt that I could get a quality iron with more features for a bit less money. I am very pleased with my FHI and the improved control I get over my previous Hot Tools iron. It's very easy to style my hair with and the lack of any friction as my hair goes through the plates is a much appreciated change. I'm very happy that I chose the model with the temperature control because I have relatively thin hair and realize now that the pre-set temperature on some other models and brands would be much too hot for my hair. (I get good results with a temperature setting below the 370 mark on the dial while some models have a pre-set temp of 410.)
The only negative is that the outside of the iron does get hot. I used to set my iron on the counter as I used it, but now I set it on the free pouch that I got. The pouch is a fantastic product, especially useful with irons that heat up on the outside.
LOVE IT
