Good Straightener, Bad Chord!
Reviewer:
Christine
from 29 Palms, CA Wed May 10 2006
I purchased this straightener in March 2005, after a hairstylist used it on my hair. This was my first "expensive" iron and it left my old Helen of Troy metal iron in the dust. The Hai Stik worked wonders for my hair, leaving it shiney and straight. I would straighten it every other or every three days and my hair looked good without touchups on the days in between. I would just wash it the night before, let it air dry and straighten the next day, without the aide of products (I have learned this is bad for the hair, though). I have thick, long, curly hair and it took me about 30 minutes to straighten. This iron was great!
Skip forward a year and one month... The iron stopped working while I was using it. Upon inspection, I noticed that a little red light inside would not stay lit when the chord was not in a certain position. Luckily, I was able to finish that last straightening job but it was tedious since the heat would go off. My husband is an electronics specialist in the marine corps, so I gave it to him to fix. Upon testing it, he told me how bad of a design it was and it wasn't through anything I did that it broke. We had hoped to just replace the chord, but it was not that easy so I now need to buy a new iron or continue wearing my hair in a bun.
I would really like to buy another hai, but I do not want it to just last through the warrenty period and then stop working. I bought this iron for $120 at the time and I do not want to spend that money every year. I had hoped that it would last at least a few years.
Morale of the story: The Hai Stik gets the job done and it does it well. BUT, if you do not want to replace it every year, don't buy it.
Worth your money!

I bought this Hai stick 6 months ago and I really love it! I recommend it to everyone. The price is just right. It leaves the hair soft and silky! It heats up in 60 seconds and it's also very safe to use. I have never burned myself so far.
Love It!

I had owned a Hai Stik before, but I dropped and broke it. But, replacing it was the best thing I've ever done - the new model is even better: the adjustable heat controls are great, and th Stik leaves hair really shiny.
Great!!

I had a CHI(which i loved) for almost 3 years, but it broke. Before i ordered my new flat iron i was using my sisters HAI Stik and my hair looked even better than it did with my chi so i decided to buy it. Both me and my sister love them and all of our friends are always asking to use it before we go out. It can also be used to curl your hair which i really like.
I would definatly recommend this flat iron to anyone with thick, curly or wavy hair.
I think the girls who said it was burning their hair nd causing split ends either werent using it properly or werent using a heat protecter. Which is a must.

I am a new user for this type of product. My hairdresser recommended (i.e. stressed) that I buy one with a thermostat and which would heat up to 400F. He demonstrated how to use it and I have had success following his recommendations and instructions. I have fine, short, straight hair which has always been difficult for me to style, but now I have a tool to help me.
Yet another satisfied customer!!!

My girlfriend turned me on to the HAI flat iron. I just online to find one and found Folica.com. The prices were right, even with the shipping, so I bought it. I arrived on time and I was able to track my shipment online. The iron heats up very quickly and leaves my hair feeling silky & shiny! I will definitely buy from Folica.com again!!!
for the price performance is not that great

you have to make sure you only thin small amounts at a time. fly aways appear to be more frequent. seems to dry the hair over time even using med heat.
Works for me

This was the second flat iron I purchased from Folica and by far the best choice. I have resonably thick hair and always feel great after using this iron.
Great Flat Iron

My husband did alot of research before purchasing this iron for me for Christmas and I LOVE IT! I have never enjoyed my hair quite as much as I do when I use this iron and it has made fixing my long, very thick and frizzy hair so much easier!
Great Product, Quickly Delivered

I have faught with my naturally wavy hair forever. The least little bit of humidity and it went frizzy wild. This straightener has solved the problem. I don't use any kind of product, just the straightener and my hair is smooth and shiny. It's amazing!

My daughter is African American and Caucasin. I have struggled with finding the right tools to press her hair. This item is fantastic. What used to be an hour and a half job, now takes about 30 minutes! I love it.
Quick and Easy (for the lazy people)

This ceramic flat iron is easy to use and heats up within seconds. I have short hair so I finish devolumizing my hair within 5-7 minutes. It is lightweight so I dont strain my arms when I try to reach the back of my hair. Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't have time to fuss with their hair in the morning.
yeah yeah yeah nothing special

This is my second Hai stick.. the first one's plug seemed to short out, so I bought a second. I see the changed the
plug, and I hope it doesnt happen again.. but everyone derserves a second chance.
I like the Hai stick because it gets hot fast and works great.
