Damages hair, Only Ceramic For about 1 year

I thought this straightener was alright for awhile but I realized it wasn't anything special like it is said to be. I bought it because the place I get my hair cut said it was really good and a quality straightener. I paid too much for it, it wasn't any better than a cheap one you could buy. It straightened well but damaged my hair a lot. After awhile the ceramic covering began to go away around the sides. But even before that it damaged it my hair now it's just even worse even with using protective creams, gels, sprays, and blow drying first so its not wet. In conclusion I question it's "ceramicness" wasn't that great of a product, not worth the money. I've used better.
Btw it only straightened really well if you had it on the highest setting, which is to blame for some of the damage, but even on a lower setting I still had close to the same amount or just as much. I don't have unusually thick either, I'd say it's average.

(I actually bought a Hot tools 2 inch ceremic, model no. 1189, but I expect theyre not much different at all)
Okay, so my old straightener (babyliss PRO) had JUST broke this morning, so, I went to TJMaXx and looked through a few different selections (rusk, Hot tools, and BarBar)... I chose this one because it looked most professional and you can beat the price! I just got out of the shower, and as soon as my hair dryed, I plugged in my new straightener:
It heated up to the highest setting in about a minute, and all together took me TEN minutes to straigten my hair which is halfway down my back and extremely thick and fluffy, when I was done I had to come write a review because I just LOVE this straightener! Its better then the CHI ($150), in my opinion, its so fast and smooth! I'm dissapointed that it has such a low rating... oh well.. all I can say is buy it! Especially if you have thick/coarse/curly hair. great brand... good investment. (:
so glad I took the chance on this one!
Stopped working after a year

So I have seen many reviews about this flat iron and OMG it is true! My flat iron stopped working after a year of use. It is very upsetting that I have wasted 60 bucks for a years worth of use but I can inly buy Hot tools flat irons becasue other ones I have tried are no good. I love the make but not the product.
Really? I loved mine.

I was pricing this flat iron for my lost baggage claim and was surprised to see it was rated so low. I loved mine and am really sad that it's been lost somewhere in the Philadelphia airport. I bought it about three years ago and it still worked just fine. Heats up high (I need a really high temperature) and fairly quickly. I will be replacing it promptly with the same model.
It actually lasted longer than a Wigo iron I once bought.
Broken after 3 months!!!

I got this straigtener as a gift 3 months ago. I've used it about once a week sincd then, so let's say a total of about 12 times. It is now utterly useless and burned out. I try turning it on and nothing happens. Horrible product. While it worked, I was quite happy with it, but i definitely would NOT suggest buying a product that burns out after 3 months.
Broke after only a year!

Mine totally went haywire. When I turn it on, even on the lowest setting (1), it gets extremely extremely hot!!! It has been okay up until this point, so if you want an average affordable straigtener that you dont plan on using often, go for this, if you want something you are going to use frequently and want to last, splurge and spend another 40 bucks on something that will last. I'm on here looking for another now and I think Im going to go with the Solia, I'll let yall know how it turns out.
Ps- the Hot Tools straightner fryed my hair, I am working really hard right now to get it healthy again.
Love it

I bought this straightener from ULTA in Dec of 2005... not sure where these people bought their's but I love mine. My hair is very very thick and pretty curly and I just turn it on for about two minutes and it does my hair perfect. I have had no problems. Even before I bought this one I had one of the same brand that wasn't ceramic and it worked great too. It works better than some more expensive one's that I have used of friends. So... if all of these people who posted, got their's from this site or whatever, then don't buy it here. I buy from ULTA, plus they will let you return it if it doesn't work. :)

This straightener is very bad for many reasons. It gives you awful awful awful split ends. and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. i use it for like half of my head and then it like cools off so one half of my head is wavy and one half is straight. it tears out your hair and after about an hour it will go wavy again.
it damages your hair

I was using it and I felt good but an hour later my hair was all frizzy, and wavy.A lot of use damages your hair, also gives a burnt hair smell.It gives you a lot of split ends and if you leave it too long on a piece of your hair, it could burn off. >(
its ok

It straightens your hair nicely, but after a day(or hour) at school, the back(and front) sometimes gets wavy. It's great for me because I only straighten my hair like once a month, not everyday like some others. Mine didn't brake because I barely use it. Do not buy this if you plan on straightening your hair DAILY.
good for wavy hair

I got this for christmas, and it worked great. I have wavy hair so it didnt take too long. However, my only complaint is it broke in 2 or 3 months and for the price that was rediculous. Also, if you get it, I would recomend buying a heat glide or protectant for your hair so it wont get too damaged.
wow..i guess

i bought this straighener as my first one.
it worked great for awhile but i still took me about 2hrs to straighten my hair. My hiar is culry and wavy and frizzy. i would wear it down but, the sides of my hair are completely straight! i hate it. so my mom bought me it. i loved it at firest but it seemed to be cooling down after every time i used it. One day i woke up ( on a picture day) and it wounldn't heat up. after about an hour it bearly got even warm! i was so mad. i think it worked bad and i woulndn't reccomand this to anyone with wavy or frizzy hair. IT TOOK FOREVER TO STARIGHTEN!!!! >:(

Lets see, I got this for christmas, I used it a few times and it worked pretty okay. First time GREAAAT. now, my hair curls and frizzes after I do it. I have to spend an hour and a half on my hair, just straightening it if I want it to not be AS bad. I would not reccomend this to anyone who has curly frizzy hair. wavy hair, sure. But, from reading these other reviews, apparently it dies. So, I guess not. Mine hasn't but when it does, I'll be sure to get rid of it for a Chi. My friend has one of those and I used it one night after I had made my hair super frizzy with the blow dryer as a joke, and it made my hair perfect. Not a single curl, and the next day everyone complimented my hair. I'm kind of disappointed in Hot Tools. I used to hear such good things about their products, but now I know.
Disapointed

I had this flat iron for about maybe 5 months..i have fairly thick, but not terribly, and wavy hair. It straightened my hair very nicely for the price but one day, it just completly abruptly stopped working. Like everyone seems to be saying, the light will stay on, but neither of the plates heats up! I would reccomend this lower-priced straightener to anyone who would use it not as often as every day but still needs something that will do the job..but not for long!
TERRIBLE

I've been using the Hot Tools Professional Ceramic iron for a couple of months and it was working fine. Now only one of the two irons gets hot, and it takes me much more time to straighten my hair. I should've paid an extra 40 or 50 dollars for the Chi. Everybody I know that has it have no complaints.
