i have used the hot tools starightening iron for a while until it broke, aftre 4 years of use, then i got a new one, the ceramic. I love how it works it makes my hair shiny, and very straight. It also heats up very quickley. But there are many problems. I go to straighten my hair, and my hair gets caughtin the iron plates everytime i go to starighten a piece of hair. I am getting more and more split ends. Also, the latch where it keeps the straightener closed for when you wrap the wire up, everytime i turn my hand a differnet way to get a good angle for starightening my hair the latch comes down and locks in, and i have to un latch it everytime. It is very annoying.
spend more money, this is horrible

i've used hot tools for a while because i didn't feel it was necessary to pay more than 50 dollars for a straightener. i thought it worked pretty well, even though i had to go over each section of my hair 3-4 times and the highest heat. also, my hair always gets stuck in it. i used my friend's straightener (solia 1 1/4") and it worked a thousand times better!!! i'm getting rid of my hot tools and spending the extra cash for solia!

i left my straightener on for about 2 hours and over that period of time... it melted. the top of the straightener where the ceramic plates are... melted. it looks like someone took a hammer to it.. also.. after a few months, it kept getting hotter and hotter... it said it was supposed to stop getting hotter but it doesn't! it just keeps getting hotter! i had the setting on the lowest it could be and i had it on for 20 minutes and it touched my arm for about 2-3 seconds and in that period of time it burnt the skin right off my arm and i still have the scar, it didn't straighten my hair that well either it took like 5-7 tries and it didn't say straight, after a short period of time if i didn't put some sort of gel or spray in it it would get frizzy and start to curl. i hate this straightener. i'm getting a sedu one soon
amazing for slightly curly hair

this straightener is amazing for thin/medium and wavy/slightly curly hair. it heats up very fast, and has 10 settings, which is amazing for any hair types. I have long, fairly curly natural hair, and this straightener is great for me. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality, and inexpensive straightener!
its okay

i was first introduced to hot tools by my friend..i had reali curly and frizzy hair b4 i started using this. The first time i used it and the many other times, i loved it. i bought my own. then after a couple of months, it broke totally. I bought myself another one, which i have now up until yesterday, it broke too. This was all less than a year i have boughten two of them. The second one i bought caught my hair in it and pulled my hair out. Yesterday, the plastic handle broke in half, and now only one plate works. i want to buy another one, but i know it will break as well within an amount of time. is there any other straightner that works better and wont break but in the same price range and not as expensive?? thanks

i got the hot tools ceramic flat iron as a christmas present...i looked at it and thought to myself "wow, its professional, ceramic, and costs more than any other straightener i've ever gotten, it must be great!"...well, i was WRONG...the biggest complaint i have with this product is that my hair gets caught in it, and huge chunks get ripped out...it's not very pleasant...also,it makes my hair frizzy and my hair starts to get wavy after only a few minutes...i'm really dissapointed...so i'll be buying the sedu flat iron within the next couple of days...
Great for about a month !

Hair gets stuck

I bought this flat iron about a year ago. It worked good up until about 1 month ago when my hair started getting stuck in the space where the plate connects to the plastic. It is very difficult to use now and will frequently pull my hair out. I am looking into purchasing a more expensive brand.
it broke.

My cousin had this straightener, and i used it once and i absolutely L0VED it. I ended up getting it as a Christmas present and was VERY happy with it.. until it broke. it made my THiCK/WAVY hair unbelievably straight in a matter of 15-20 minutes. It broke, as many others have stated, right at the handle so basically I have 0NE plate to straighten. It really is a good product, but you need to be EXTRA careful with it.. hey, mine only lasted for 12 days.
I love it :]

I must admit I may not own one yet but I used this iron every day at for 3 months. It was fantastic. I have thick wavy hair and did the job pretty well with out pulling out my hair. I am so amazed I even ordered one for myself and I should be getting it tommorow. All I could say is that this iron rox!!!!!!!!!!!

I've bought two of this same style of straightener and they both have broken in the middle. I do not advise to buy this product because it is not very reliable and durable.

Better yet, my daughter is thrilled beyond belief. She has naturally very curly hair. We've tried many things, including two other flat irons...and nothing can compare.
I don't know how people are getting their hair torn out, but we've had no problems. My daughter is 10 and always dreamed of having straight, silky hair. Her normal curly hair is very thick and coarse. This is very easy to use, heats up quickly and makes her hair very soft. Its awesome. And you can't beat the price. My aunt came over and she is a professional hairdresser. She uses a 220.00 iron at her salon and even she said this was a very good product. She couldn't believe how well it worked.
I love it!

I purchased this from folica and found it to be like $20.00 cheaper than other sites. I love my Hot Tools Ceramic Flat Iron! I really like the condition it leaves my hair in. The service was great too and I would definitly order from them again.
Just ok

This is my first ceramic iron and I am not impressed. Personally I think the normal Hot Tools flat iron works better than this one and it's cheaper. However, I have very curly hair and I like it very straight. I would not buy this product again.

My super thick curly hair is straight and beautiful and it lasts thru humidity! I don't know how others are getting their hair ripped out, but I don't with my long hair. It straightens with one pass! It would have changed my life as a teenager.
