Wow! I can't believe how much i LOVE this straightener! Just last month i was reading all these reviews, some saying-it sucks others saying-its great. So far this straightener is great especially for me and my kind of hair. I have thick,wavy, frizzy hair and this straightener works awesome! The only thing i don't like about it, is that your hair gets stuck when you straighten it. Otherwise, its awesome. I recommand this straightener to everyone. It is great, i mean why spend $100 or more a straightener that works the same way. Well, i hope this help and believe me, its wonderful!
good, but smelly

i just got this straightener a few days ago. it seems to work very well on my thick hair. but it gives off this horrible smell. if you dont have a lot of money and you think you can deal with the smell then this could be good for you.
Look further

My hair is wavy and fairly thick, and after spending the $70 that I did (from a local beauty supply store), I am very UNHAPPY with the results. My hair didn't even get completely straight, and I don't even live in a humid environment (Arizona!). I had to go over small pieces of my hair about three times before it was fairly straight, and even then, the ends would still be curled up. This is something that I never had to deal with my $20 Vidal Sassoon flat iron that I bought at Wal-mart.
The worst part was that my hair kept breaking whenever I ran it through the iron. It kept getting stuck and it would pull out my hair. I tried changing it to a lower heat, using some hair product to make it glide easier, etc. but nothing worked. Once again, this is something that I never noticed while using my old straightener.
In my opinion, this product would probably appear good to first-time flat iron users, especially after making the change from a non-ceramic straightener to a ceramic straightener. But the fact is, this product is not worth your money. I expected my hair to look smooth and silky after using this straightener, but it only ended up looking brittle and unhealthy. My other $20 straightener ran smoothly through my hair, made it looks silky and shiney, and made my hair very straight.
The end result? I'm still using my old Vidal
Don't buy this Hot Tools product. If you do buy it, save your receipt and the original packaging in case you need to replace it using the warranty.
Broke after four months

I flat iron my hair everyother day for the last four months. I recently tried to flat iron my hair and one of the plates had cracked. I actually blamed my boyfriend but after reading the reviews I guess it's a defect. Overall, I was pleased with the product until it broke. At least I bought it for 30 bucks and was able to do a lifetime warranty exchange at costco:)
this sux!!!!

My hot tools was good for maybe a month i thought(but thats because i've never had anything else) but it did rip out my hair and my hair did become frizzy after a few minutes out side. I just bought a sedu iron (five stars) so i hope thats alot better. and oh yea mine broke after maybe 5 months. Dont get it!

This is a horrible flat iron it makes my hair all frizzy! I am going to return it. I only had it six months and the purple part on the plates is all worn off! I would advise everyone to not buy this product!
This product isn't that great

I bought this straightener about 9 months ago and when I first used it I was totally unsatisfied. I was stuck with it though, because I couldn't afford to go out and buy another one. My hair is kinda thick, somewhat wavy, definately frizzy and short, therefore it only looks good when its silky smooth and super straight. Well, I would never spend my money on this again because this product does not do that. One, it doesnt straighten perfectly and two it takes so long to do my hair and three, your hair gets caught in the stupid thing and rips some of it out. Don't buy this its a waste of your fourty bucks.
I bought it 5 months ago the WORST

I love to straigten my hair 5 days a week althougth it is on the straighter side. I have fine, thin stratish/wavy hair that i hate wearing to school. So i live off the iron. I decided to buy the Hot Tools Ceramic but beknown to me it SUCKED. It pulled my hair out soooo badley and gave me the worst case of split ends. Also it says it keeps the moisture in your hair, but while doing so makes it a frizz ball. It gets frizzy when its hot and humid out and doesnt do a good job "eliminating frizz"!!! My advice to you is to buy a different straigtener than this. For instance i just ordered the SEdu. YESs i know its a little over the price but you should get something you know will give you the very best results. Good LUCK!
i wouldnt recommend it

I purchased this for my fiancé. She only straightens her hair twice a week a best. In 5 months the ceramic has completely worn through. I think that is a little quick, that comes out to over $1.25 per use.
ehh its okay

so i have to agree with almost about everyone..it does work very well the first couple months but now it gets my hair caught in the edges and the ceramic is scorched and not to long ago one of the sides cracked off! luckily superglue fixes everything and for now is saving me from having to make a decision about buying a different straightner.
Be Careful, it breaks after so many usages!!!

The iron does work really great but I've already had to purchased two irons within a year because it breaks due to pressing the handle in order to cramp.
this works great!

This straightener is the best one out there! Heats up fast, has different settings, and works awesome! Definitely worth every penny.

This is a really good iron...i've depended on this iron for a long time now and its worked okay...i have long curly frizzy hair and it takes me a while to get it as straight as i want. If your patient and willing to spend a lot of time on your hair...then this iteam is good for you. If you do your hair everyday and want quick, and easy straight hair, then switch to something else.
four stars =)

i disagree with most of the negative feedback on this product. i've had mine for over a year and i just started to have problems with it. i agree with the fact that during the first few uses this iron has an odd odor, but that goes away within a week or two. the only reason my iron isn't still usable is because my younger sister stepped on it. other than that my only issue with it was that the plates began to scortch after about 11 months of use.
great iron!

ok i don't own this iron but used my friend's iron. First let me say that my hair is avg. frizzy and wavy but it still gits on my nerves because it is also very thick (i have to get it thined). My hair before using this product was in good condition and still was afterwards just straighter. I did not want my hair board straight so this iron was great it got the waves out with out making my hair look like it was a sheet of paper (that is an all to common and unflatering look in my opinion). This iron made my hair look natural not fake. I am now concidering buying one of these irons because i was so happy with this product's performance. Just my two cents and yes i know i can not spell but do not let that fact distract you from the review. (the only reason i did not give this iron 5 star was because i have had only one experince with it)
Don't buy this product

I bought this flat iron about a month ago and as of two days ago it won't heat up. Both plates are broken. It worked great at first, my hair did get a little caught at the ends but I was overall pleased, now I'm completely disappointed. Don't buy this flat iron.
Not so great

T-R-U-S-T M-E! do NOT buy this straightener!! The first time I used it, I thought it was simply amazing and worked great the first few times, but isn't working as well anymore. Plus, my hair is so dead and i have split ends everywhere and makes your hair smell horrible!! If your not willing to spend a lot of money though, this straightener is worth the price... a crappy $40 hair straigtener!! =[
I'm getting confused...
