I have had other flat irons but not have worked as well at the HIA 2. It heats up quickly and is easy to use. My hair stays straight all day even in the fog. I highly recommend this product.
FABULOUS flat iron! went back to old faithful!

This is my second HAI 2 flat iron. My first one did short out like many others, but I did own my first one for over 3 years! It was not until I started wrapping the cord around the iron to store it away did I notice a problem with a short in the cord....LIKE WITH ANY APPLIANCE DO NOT WRAP THE CORD AROUND UNIT!!! I get so irritated that people are complaining about how the flat iron broke when it is their fault!
Anyhow, I love the HAI2...I was really torn in possibly trying another flat iron, but I went back to old faithful! I was really tempted to try the sedu or the solia but i could not pull the trigger! The design has changed a little bit from the one I owned but it gets super hot and straightens super fast like it usually does! I do think the people who complain about not getting their hair straight enough is because they do not know how to do it. It took me a little bit to master my technique but I can shower, dry, AND flatten my hair in 30-40 minutes! The great thing about the results from using this flat iron, my hair does not frizz in humid or wet weather. I only have to wash my hair 2-3 times a week when I flat iron and just touch up the bed head! People who complain they had more split ends when using this iron are a) using too high a temp or...b) had split ends to begin with! Straightening your hair tends to make you more aware of your ends! So get a trim every 6-8 weeks! Any hair stylist will tell you should NOT flat iron every day!
I had a superstar flat iron that was crap....it did not get as hot and the plates were not aligned correctly and I quickly donated to a friend who had a conair so they appreciated it when I freely gave it to them....my HAI 2 is a vital part of what I look like when I leave the house!
This is a great flat iron and is worth the investment and if you know what you are doing you should get the results you want! Good LUCK!!!
Love it!

I bought the HAI2 a little over a year ago and it's still going strong. MUCH better than any of the cheap versions you can get at a chain retail store (which I bought several times and broke before getting this). My hair is thick and wavy, and the HAI2 makes it stick straight. My hair is still strong, healthy, and shiny, even though I use it constantly. I highly recommend this product - and I have for many of my friends!

I ordered this to straighten my daughter's hair for a
banquet. She has shirley temple like natural curl. I did
not know what to order, having never used a straightening
iron before. I ordered this one, and found out after I
received it that it was for professional use only. I am
not a professional. Thinking that a professional ordered it,
it came with NO instructions. I had to use it, because you
cannot return a straightening iron once you have received
it. So, I used it & it worked beautifully. I quickly got
the hang of it, and what temp to set it at, and her hair was
straight. She and I could not have been more pleased.
I did have to partition her hair, and so forth, but this
iron works great on "really" curly hair as my daughter's.
I would recommend this to everyone. It's definately worth
the money.
Loved mine too...until the cord shorted out.

Seems I am not the first person to have the cord short out on my HAI flat iron. I loved it until the cord shorted out after about a year. Seems like they need to work on quality control. I still highly recommend this iron.

I loved my HAI flat iron, until it broke only a year and a half later. Apprently there is something wrong with the power cord because the red light no longer stays on and the iron rarely stays heated long enough for me to use it. The only way I can get it to stay on is by holding the power cord a certain way. Not what I expected after spending $105!

I LOVE THE PRODUCT. I OWN THE HAI STIK AND NOW MY HAIR IS LONGER SO THE 2 INCH IRON IS QUICKER. I HAVE THE CURLIEST,WAVIEST MOST OUT OF CONTROL HAIR AND THE IRON TRANSFORMS IT LIKE MAGIC TO SMOOTH, SLEEK HAIR. I LOVED THE CONVENIENCE OF ORDERING ONLINE AND ACTUALLY SAVED $20.00 COMPARED TO THE SAME PRODUCT AT MY HAIRSTYLIST'S SALON. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS AWESOME AND RECIEVED MY IRON IN JUST A FEW DAYS. I DEFINITELY WILL PURCHASE FROM FOLICA AGAIN.

I have been straightening my hair for 9 years now. I tried everything to get straight silky hair. 4 years ago I purchased this flat iron, and I finally got my straight silky hair! It works great. This size is perfect for long hair. Its quick and it honestly does not damage or "fry" your hair. You don't even have to use it everyday. It's GREAT!!! I have always said, if mine breaks, I will never hesitate to go buy another. It's also a great deal, I paid $155 for mine elsewere. But with these great prices at folica.com, I'll definetaly buy my product from here. In fact, I have shared this web site with many of my friends and they either already have or are planning on making their purchases here. A friend of mine has a different brand of flat iron than mine. She regrets that one and wishes she would have listened to me when I told her to go with the "hai" brand. I have tried hers before and I never seem to get the same results as I do with mine. It actually makes my hair frizzier. In her case, her hair is never really straight. It still keeps a waive to it. With the "hai", her hair is as flat as a sheet of paper. SHE LOVES IT!!!
The best thing is when I don't straighten my hair and evryone says..."you got a perm!"
Every one thinks I have naturally smooth, silky, straight hair!
WHICH..."OF COURSE I DO!!!"
For better results and more shine...use a serum before straightening,(dime size amount). It gives your hair more shine and a smoother silkier finish. It also reduced static in your hair. You'll Love your new hair!
Great

I love this product. With a new baby and a full time job, I just don't have the time to blow dry my hair out like I used to. This flat iron does the trick much faster, and I think it does less damage to my hair. The price on folica.com is also considerably lower than that of beauty supply stores in my area.
I love HAI!!!

I started using HAI two years ago after having tried several bad straighteners!!! I truly love this straighter, not only did it straighten my hair so quickly, but it didn't damage it at all or leave it dry. All of my friends asked me where I got it, and I always recommended it to them. Since I have really really really thick hair, it took me hours to use other straighteners, but since this one is 2 1/4 inches thick, I was able to get a lot of hair all at once. I love HAI. Even if you don't have thick hair like me but want it really straight, I recommend the thinner version of this straightener. Best product I used.

HAI vs. Sapphire (for people with CHSS: CHRONIC HAIR STRAIGHTENING SYNDROME)
Reviewer:
rachel g
from washington, dc Tue Mar 22 2005
Like others have claimed, after a 4 yr love affair with my Sapphire it just stopped working (i've been told it may be b/c i wrapped the cord around it for storage- I've also dropped it many times). I swore by it, eventhough others have complained it's too hot or too heavy/bulky. I have VERY thick, coarse, frizzy, wavy/curly (not one or the other- just a mess) hair, so for me it was the only thing that ever did the trick. I was about to order another one when a friend suggested I try the HAI. She had the Japenese thermal straightening and I was worried that the ceramic irons were only good for people who had that process (which I did not). so I tried hers before ordering it and fell in love with a new beau. Although it's lighter in weight, I think it's actually a bit more difficult to use than the Sapphire since you can only do small clumps of hair at a time. Also, it doesn't clamp as tightly as the sapphire so you have to kind of clamp it extra at the tip with your fingers (obsessive hair straighteners should know what i'm talking about). But the results are worth it- my hair is even straighter and flatter with the HAI (WARNING- if you are not looking for flat-as-a-board hair this IS NOT for you). Also, I suspect I will be burning my face/neck less with the HAI since it's a thinner device. One thing I would caution about is that it gets VERY hot (if you choose so, which I do)- it seems even hotter than the Sapphire. So, I've hurt my fingers a couple of times grabbing a piece of newly ironed hair (but you don't have to put the temp that high). I also worry about damage due to this high temp, but so far it's no worse than the Sapphire. I do miss the little comb that came with the Sapphire, but I'll get over it as a result of the absolute BEST thing about the HAI: you can actually go for days (3 or 4) without re-ironing. The first time I used it, I did my hair at night and slept on it. When I woke up the next morning my hair was STILL PERFECTLY STRAIGHT (I bet you're saying, "NO WAY!!!") With the Sapphire, I would have to iron it EVERY day to keep it really nice. No more, which makes it easier when travelling for the weekend- since you don't have to lug around the iron-- and less likely that I'm doing damage to my hair-- since I only really have to iron it 2 or 3 times a week. Go for the HAI- it's worth the money if you have CHSS, like me.

I bought a solano 5 years ago...it was the 2.5 inch one. It was well worth the money! but alas it finally died. So I thought I would try a new product. So I went to my local beauty shop and returned two before trying this HAI.
I like it. Although the design doesn't seem as "tough" as Solano but straightens my hair well. Take it I have very thick hair and tons of it!!!!so i need a serious iron! this will do the job. Stay away from magic ifared it was not worth it!!!! returned that one and sedu! not worth your time.Also if you are like me and have really thick hair and long hair dont' bother with anything smaller than 2 inches wide!

I love this product, my hair is super wavy, it doesn't know if it wants to curl or go straight....I hate it....but this hair iron makes my hair so managable, soft and smooth. It doesn't burn my hair either, even on the highest setting. And quick too!! 10-15 minutes tops!
