I have tried many straighteners: Chi, Babyliss, ceramix, conair etc and this was the most expensive but is by far the hottest. It doesn't pull and catch hair like my babyliss and it heats up much faster then the chi and gets hotter (but be careful if you have fine hair) I have thick wavey hair and it still takes a long time to straighten ( have to go through more then once)but I find with the FHI it is staying straighter longer. We will see if it lasts as long as the chi though...my sister has had hers for 3 years and it still works but not as well.

I just bought this from Folica last week and got it in BEFORE the expected shipping date, which was great! As soon as I opened the box I immediately noticed how cheap this iron looks. Really, it looks like it can't be worth more than $15. Looks aside, this product does not get my hair straight at all. My 4 year old HAI that has lost heat over the years works WAY better than this thing. The size is nice, but it just doesn't do the job. The little that it did on my hair was gone within 10 minutes while I was inside and I was again, left with frizz. Back to folica it goes!

Pretty good iron

I was fairly pleased with this product. I didn't get my hair quite as straight as my stylist got it, but that may just be technique. However, she did tell me to get an iron that went to at least 410 degrees for my hair type (African American, natural, tight curls). I had to put it all the way up to 450 degrees to begin to get it as straight as she got it. Overall, it's pretty good.
Boo!

After 3 days of use, my iron just stopped coming on. No light, no heat - nothing. I'm a hairdresser and have used Chi's for about 7 years and decided to try something different. I was not impressed with the heat or compression from the FHI iron (for the 3 days of operation), even though it was almost twice the size of my previous irons, you would think that it would maintain better heat! In FHI's defense, my co worker let me try hers and it works great but it was purchased nearly 4 years ago. What happened to the quality?

I purchased this flat iron and it was at my door step 2 days later. THANKYOU FOLICA!! This is an excellent flat iron. I'm a black woman with thick hair and the results looks as if I just walked out of the salon. My hair stylist uses the same flat iron and I wanted to have one of my own. I will never use nothing but ceramics ever again.
Folica is Fabulous!

This is the 2nd FHI iron (same exact) that I purchased from Folica. My mother used mine and absolutely loved it. I bought my mother the same model for her birthday.
The Best Iron!

i have had my FHI for 2 years and i wouldn't trade it in for anything! i thought the 1 3/4" plates would be too small; the previous straightener i used was 3". the smaller plates do a better job at getting all of your hair straightened. i have the best of both worlds; i can have pin straight hair if i use an iron or have extremely curly hair by doing nothing. i don't have any frizzy spots when i am done straightening. i have had some hairs get CAUGHT on top of the plates but have not had hair torn out.
Great flat iron!

I was excited about geting these irons, i figured they were better than CHI, but when i got them i wished I would've purchased a CHI because they were average, did not notice a drastic improvement.
Overall i would purchase they, but i am wondering about the quality of CHI now
Excellent!!!

I'm very pleased with my FHI iron. The ONLY criticism is that once in a while (not often)...a few hairs get stuck in the "elbow" area of the iron. They really should try to perfect that. Otherwise, I'm a happy girl.
Not as good as the original CHI

The FHI Ceramic Flat Iron is sufficient, however, I prefer the original CHI, hands down the best one out there. The FHI 1 3/4 is heavy, I have small hands and long hair, so it gets strenuous.
Fantastic~!

I've been using straightening irons for years but have never been satisfied before. A friend owned this iron and after trying it, I got hooked on to it. Obviously, I ordered the iron right away and am very happy. This is the only iron that works miracles on my long curly hair. And best of all, I don't have to use any products on my freshly straightened hair anymore. My friends can never guess if my original hair is curly or straight!

I am very satisfied w/my FHI, I own a HAI 1/4 and the Maxi Glide. I think the FHI and the HAI are comparable. Very consistent soft heat.
good straightener

I bought the FHI hair straightener because i borrowed one from my friend once and it did such a great job on my hair. I found it on Folica for a better price than what my friend had purchased hers for and I do not regret it one bit. The service was prompt and I am completely satisfiedwith the iron it works GREAT! Kudos to Folica i have been recommending the FHI and site to all my friends.
Extremely satisfied

I dont ussualy bother to write reviews as time does not permit me. However I am making an exception this time around. My hair is not the most manageable there is and being limited on funds and time it created a problem for me. I always thought that if I could just find the right flat iron then all my problems would be solved. I would spend less time with my hair and have more time for everything else. I sought long and hard and through patience and percseverance I found what I was searching for all along. I am truly satisfied, it works marvels for my hair and I have not found its second yet. Actually I have stopped looking. Thats how satisfied I am. It weighed heavily on my pocket leaving me broke hence I cannot afford anything else but it is worth it.
very good

I have very thick, shoulder length hair and am African-American. This flat iron gives me a salon perfect finish, whereas other irons have left my hair looking like I did it myself. This has enabled me to do my own blowouts in between salon visits and still get a professional effect. This is important since I need a blowout every 3-4 days and who has time to go to the salon that often. It takes me 1 hour to wash, condition, blowdry, and flatiron my hair with another 5 minutes added to that if I decide to do some additional styling. It's amazing! And, by the way, I am not good at styling hair, but with this product, even I can make my hair look amazing.
