Allow the appliance 60 seconds to heat.
For straightening and smoothing, hold a 2-inch section of hair between the
clamps and slowly glide through hair, using one hand to press the clamps and
the other to hold the handle. Repeat as necessary. Do not repeat on the same
section of hair for an extended period of time.
Leave in fine, thin hair for 5 to 8 seconds, or 10 to 15 seconds for thick
or coarse hair.
Allow hair to cool before combing or brushing and wait for the appliance
to cool before storing.

Keep away from water. As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts
are electrically live even when the switch is off. When not in use, "unplug
it."
Read all instructions before using.

I've unruly thick, curly, huge/poofy hair. I've always had trouble straightening my hair until I found this flat iron. I didn't want to spend a lot of money unless I had too & I was glad that tried this one out... works great!
AMAZING!!!

HotTools is AMAZING!!! i love this product soo much! ive had it for 6 years and it still works as great as the day i bought it! i know it takes longer if u section off pieces of hair, but it does work better that way. though that is the same with any flat iron! the only reason im looking for a new flat iron is because i used to have long hair, but i recently cut my hair really short and a big flat iron is very difficult to use on short hair, although it still works. though anyone with long hair i HIGHLY recommend this product and hopefully u will love it as much as i do!!! or if u have short hair, just do what im doing and get a 1 inch HotTools flat iron instead!!! :]

this flat iron might be good for someone who has really curly hair and is satisfied with a simple "straightening" of their hair that actually includes kinks and everything, but i am NOT. i expect my hair to be as straight as it is when i use my friend's global beauty flat iron, but alas it is not so. i hate this flat iron, i would never reccomend buying hot tools as their products are cheap and subpar.

I've had this straightener for about 3 years now and its definitely decent. For its price, it does the job. I do agree with other reviewers that it can pull your hair at times.
All in all, this is an average straightener that has lasted me many years.
