Styling:

  1. Begin by taking a small section of hair and running a comb through it to separate the strands.
  2. Place the combed section of hair between the ceramic plates starting as close to the scalp as possible. Close the iron with a light grip.
  3. Pull the iron away from the scalp and let the hair glide through the plates. You should not feel the iron gripping or pulling on your hair.

FHI for fine hair
Reviewer: Shanna Velez   2009-10-25

Fine hair doesn't even need alot of heat and the flat iron was horrible. The plates didn't grasp my hair enough to straighten it. It took me 3 to 4 strokes to even get my hair straight. I wouldn't waste your money. If it doesn't work of fine hair its not going to work on thick FYI.

Best iron by far
Reviewer: Cindy   2009-10-10

I've tried the CHI iron along time ago and I immediately became obsessed with flat irons, and I was determined to find the best one, considering prices and my budget of course. After looking into the CHI I figured it wasn't all that great so I began researching FHI. I've had the FHI technique for a good 2 years, and I tend to be a clumsy with expensive things. I dropped it a countless amount of times and it even started cracking just recently. It still works like a gem. The plates are hot enough but not too hot so that it damages your hair. It is a tourmaline iron with ceramic BEVELED plates. It is perfect, and has worked perfectly for all of my friends so far. I tried the solia recently and it feels so cheap and light compared to my 2 year old FHI. The folica product detail doesn't serve this baby justice. Look at the description on fhiheat.com! It is amazing! 5 stars I never realized how great my iron was until I tried the Solia. I know my views arent biased because even my little sisters can tell the difference! FHI is the way to go!!

Great Iron
Reviewer: Stacey from Georgia   2009-07-12

Having used a CHI and several others I feel this is a great iron. I am African American with medium length relaxed hair. In between relaxers, my FHI keeps my root straight enough to manage my hair. I use it along with CHI silk infusion or the the CHI thermal protection spray. I sometimes travel and do hair for friends and family and everyone loves when I flat iron their hair. They look as if they left the salon. The key is to protect your hair but don't weigh it down with a lot of product. Overall its pretty sturdy. I've dropped this flat iron numerous times and it still works as good as the day I bought it. I have never had any problems or received any complaints.

Very damaging to my highlighted hair...
Reviewer: Janet McD from Palm Beach County, Florida   2009-05-23

I have naturally curly, sometimes frizzy, color-treated hair, and because there's no temperature setting onn this one, the excessive heat that it comes to (I think someone here said 410 degrees. No flat iron should have a "carte blanche" heat setting!! I'm sure FHI, when designing this flat iron without a temp. setting (for whatever reason I'll never hazard to guess why) they of course made it heat up ultra hot so it would straighten a moose's mane. Problem is, if your hair is more of a fragile state like mine is, you're cooked!...literally ! My hair is so broken off...too much damage was done before I figured what was going on...FHI appliances are probably fine...but only those with a heat setting. Whatever in heaven made them decide to make a flat iron with no way to alternate the heat settings, I don't know...but I'll bet there are a lot of damaged heads of hair out there...they ought to pull this one off the market without delay!!! I have actually burned my hands when going to grab the section that I just ironed through! It's a hazard...are you listening FHI???

Great straightener; better than the CHI in my experience
Reviewer: Megan from Seattle, WA   2009-03-22

I have the new FHI technique (G2) in pink. I love this straightener! The ionic technology really helps to straighten my hair without frying it... I can also straighten my thick hair in record time. One word of advice though: do not buy this straightener if you are looking for a curling device, because it gets too hot (410 degrees) to curl and burns your hands. Otherwise, it is an excellent straightener, especially for the price. It has very similar features to its higher end counterparts (such as the platform), just without temperature control. Personally, I don't mind that it doesn't have temp control, because it hasn't fried my hair thus far.
