Product Rating: 5 FHI flat iron
Reviewer: Linda Kinstle from Danville, In.  Fri Aug 31 2007

My flat iron does an amazing job on my hair! I loved the free mat/pouch that came with it and the fact it was free shipping. Thank you for offering such a great & professional product.

Product Rating: 5 Worth the money
Reviewer: AsianInfluence07 from Philadelphia, PA  Thu Aug 16 2007

I have been using flat irons to style my hair for a long time. I've used those old metal ones to the so called ceramic ones that have chipped on me. Ive never spent more than $50 for a flat iron and was very hesitant on purchasing this one. But after having gone through so many flat irons I gave in to this one. It was actually recommended to me as well as the Chi and T3. I heard that the Chi breaks really easily so I didnt want to spend money on something that would break.
I recieved my purchase within a few days and I absolutely love it! My hair feels so much smoother and softer than ever before. The FHI is definitely worth the money!

Product Rating: 4 Very good
Reviewer: Sofia from New York  Wed Apr 18 2007

I am a professional hairdresser and I have used FHI flat irons before. They have always been reliable. It gets hot quickly and stays hot. It also cools down fairly quickly.
It makes the hair very straight and smooth.
I would recommend it to my clients.

Reviewer: try to get the salon look   Thu Apr 12 2007

I purchased my FHI at Ulta which I love...anyway I brought this iron with very high expectations and was not thrilled with the results. My hair looked like it did with my other cheaper iron. So I am going to return it today and try the SEDU

Product Rating: 5 Love it.
Reviewer: Meri   Sun Apr 08 2007

I have very long and curly hair and I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to straighten it. This iron works great. I never have any trouble even if I decide to straighten it after I have let my curly hair dry naturally. While other flat irons I have tried leave my hair a bit wavy, this one never does. It is always smooth and always looks great. I got the iron as a gift and had no idea it was so affordable. It works just as well as the one they use on my hair at the salon.

Product Rating: 4 I like it
Reviewer: Vicky from Atlanta, GA  Tue Apr 03 2007

I am glad that I bought the iron with variable temperate. I am black and I need the really hot setting. It doesn't dry my hair out and it takes away the static in my hair when I blow dry it. I have been recieving a lot of complements.

Product Rating: 5 2 1/2 years and this thing still works!
Reviewer: jasmine from florida  Wed Mar 28 2007

I've had it for 2 1/2 years and it still works...granted it looks a little beat up. I have dropped it 100 times, even on tile floor..and it still works fine. I ordered the 1 1/2" sedu and I didn't really think it was it was cracked up to be. I returned it to get a CHI. My hair dresser used a chi and I think it will work pretty good. I'm just worried about it breaking like everyone says it does after only a couple months.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent for African-American's without a Relaxer!
Reviewer: JDM from Chicago, IL.  Wed Mar 28 2007

I have got to share the information that I have about this product. Firstly, I bought this FHI iron because of a review that I read and feel that it is my duty to share my experience as well. I am African- American and I do not have a relaxer in my hair. The key that I have learned is to wash and condition my hair and then while it is wet to either individually braid it or two strand twist it( at home at course) the point is to basically allow the hair to stretch as much as possible. When it dries, (hours or overnight, however long it takes your hair to dry), then use the flat iron. I usually oil it to the scalp and light oil the actualy hair as well. I put it up as high as my hair can take (you will have to just trial and error it for your own hair) and then flat iron it as usual. There is no other iron out there that has been able to starighten my afro as well as this iron. Many people just assume I have a relaxer/perm. I try to only flat iron my hair once every 2 weeks or if I can wait and do not have any engagements to attend I can even wait a month. I do try to keep heat off of it any other time since this iron gets so professionally hottttt! I have not tried the "hot sauce" that comes with it (they give you a small sample), since my system works but perhaps I will try it soon. I think that it may better protect the hair against the heat. I truly hope that this review helps you with your hair. If this iron works for my hair it must work with all types of hair! May the Lord Jesus Christ always bless you and reign in your life! God bless and yours in Christ.

Reviewer: Meredith from Vienna, VA.  Wed Mar 21 2007

Excellent!!! This flat iron is the best!!! It used to take me 45 minutes to straighten my hair, and now it only takes me 15 minutes. This iron is wonderful and heats up very quickly! Love it :)

THESE FLAT IRONS ARE GREAT.

Product Rating: 5 Two years (and three heads); still going strong!
Reviewer: Rita from Ann Arbor, MI  Mon Jan 22 2007

My two daughters and I are African American, with very coarse, thick hair. A girlfriend told me about her stylist who used FHI. I honestly didn't think it would make my hair look relaxer straight, but I was pleasantly surprised when she did it! I was so impressed that not only did she become our stylist, but I bought an FHI, and could do my and my daughters' hair. That was over two years ago, and we want to get another one with a wider plate! Also, I love wearing my hair in twists, but I have no problems getting my hair straight whenever I decide to flat iron. My hair still gets really straight quickly, it feels soft and silky, and it actually MOVES (you sistas know what I'm talking about!)

Product Rating: 5 I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Product Rating: 5 15 yr old daughter loves her adjustable FHI!
Reviewer: Rhonda from Missouri  Thu Jan 11 2007

I bought this straightener for my 15 yr old daughter who straightens her hair daily. Her straightener she currently was using was a 20.00 cheapy special from last year. It had quit heating well and was making her hair frizzy she said, so for Christmas wanted a new one. Well this one was certainly a hit as she loves it and uses it daily. I did buy her the Biosilk infusion therapy to also help protect her hair and encouraged her to experiment with the various heat settings. Buy a nice straightener and try it out for yourself. Price is right and cant beat the adjustable heat dial.

Product Rating: 5 Wonderful
Reviewer: Lynette from Detroit, Michigan  Thu Jan 11 2007

The flat iron gives me the look of having visited my stylist, when I did it at home. Everyone compliments me and I love how easy it is to use.

Product Rating: 5 A Wonderful Surprise
Reviewer: Anonymous from Atlanta  Wed Jan 10 2007

Before I bought the FHI Ceramic Flat Iron, I read the reviews posted on this site. Although I wanted to believe the fantastic claims and rave reviews, I have to admit I remained quite skeptical. I finally decided to purchase the product and hope for the best. After all, I pondered, I can always return it, if it does not work. Surprise, Surprise! It worked and some. My coarse hair is now delightfully straight and I am in "Hair Heaven". It is an excellent product and the service at Folica was also exceptional!

Product Rating: 5 love them!
Reviewer: Jenn from england  Fri Jan 05 2007

I got these straighteners for xmas and they are the best straighteners i've ever used on my hair. I couldn't wish for more! I have very thich, medium lengh hair and they glide down your hair so smoothly without making that horrible crunching noise. If anyone out there is looking for a decent pair of straighteners these are for you!

Product Rating: 5 Best Flat Iron Product Period!!!
Reviewer: River Fronczak from St. Louis  Thu Dec 28 2006

I'm an african american female with course, sponge like textured hair. For the first time I can straighten my hair myself without chemical and in less than 2 hours!! I can achieve salon like results and keep it straight for a least a week. I love my new FHI!!

For anyone else out there who wears a "natural" (afro,twists,etc) but would like to straighten their hair from time to time...this IS YOUR IRON!! This is the best investment ever!! It is soooo worth it!!! Enjoy!

A straighter River

Product Rating: 5 Too wonderful
Reviewer: donna from Mountain View, Hawaii  Wed Dec 27 2006

Thankyou so much to the person whom made the FHI!! I have owned it now for 3 years and I wouldnt trade it for another it works great leaving my hair really straight. I have gotten all of my friends to buy it and they love it too..Thanks

Product Rating: 5 Nothing bad to say....
Reviewer: jasmine from florida  Wed Dec 06 2006

I've had this flat iron for about 2 years now and it works really good. i would say it works better than the CHI because the CHI snagged my hair some. I'm looking into getting a new one for x-mas to try something new but this one is still working good after 2 years.
