Good straightener for the price
Reviewer: Elizabeth from Kent, WA   2009-11-10

This is the first hair straightener I owned after using the ones my friends owned. My hair is LONG (below my waist), wavy and medium-thick. It gets incredibly frizzy and curly in humidity too. Pros: large plates make straightening faster, variable temperature setting (and it gets HOT!), and I love how straight my hair was after using it. Cons: metal plates snagged my hair sometimes, iron doesn't heat up as fast as others. Overall this was a great appliance and lasted me about three years. After maybe two years something went wrong in the hinge and the iron wouldn't turn on unless it was about halfway closed so I always put a brush on top when I was waiting for it to heat. Eventually it completely stopped working and I had to find a new iron to love. I bought a new, different Hot Tools straightener but this one is definitely the best one of the two. If you're just looking for a cheap straightener to use occasionally I highly recommend this Hot Tools straightener!

great product great price

I have very thick and long hair and this product really makes it straight and shiney. I absolutely Love it...

LOVE IT
Reviewer: sara   2009-10-21

i loved this straightener. it reallyyy worked. my other cheapo hair straightener did not do half as well as this hot tools one. it straightened my hair perfectly. the only downsides were the smell and frizz. my hair is frizzy but this made it worse. it wasnt that bad though because all i have to do is get my de-frizzing gel and problem solved! another is that it smells like burned waffles which is nasty. but again the de-frizzing gel worked on that to because it had a great smell. overall i love it beccause it did exactly what i wanted it to do. (the de-frizzing gel is called glow tricks matrix)

not the best
Reviewer: Rebecca from Connecticut   2009-07-20

i have had and tried many differnet straighteners. this one does work but there are more out there that work a lot better than this one. i have found that this straightener gives great damage to your hair after a while of using it. it gets very hot but the plates of it are cheap which tears up your hair and gives you dead ends. in my oppinion if you're thinking about buying this straightener just don't and get one a little more expensive (a different brand) you'll be thankful i told you this in the end.

LOVE THIS
