Product Rating: 1 Damaging!!!
Reviewer: anonymous from Alpharetta, GA  Mon Aug 08 2005

This was the greatest flat iron that I had purchased in a while. After using it for about a year daily, my hair became sooooo damaged. It will do the job of straightening hair, but if you use it daily, this is not the iron for you. It also just stops heating, dont know what is wrong with it, but I have purchased 3 of them in a year. Go with the ceramic ones.

Reviewer: Jessica from Columbus, OH  Sun Aug 07 2005

For years people would stop me on the street and ask if they could touch my hair. It was beautiful! Then about a year ago my friend let me borrow her Hot Tools Iron. The first few times I used this iron, I was really impressed. I loved having super straight hair and it looked really good! So I bought one. As I used it, I noticed it no longer gave me the great results I got in the beginning and my hair started to look a little damaged. Last month I went to see my hair stylist and he had to cut my once beautiful hair super short because it was sooo damaged from that horrible iron! That stupid thing destroyed my hair, don’t let it destroy yours!

Product Rating: 2 My hair looks horrible since i have used this!
Reviewer: Katie from Tempe, Arizona  Wed Aug 03 2005

Ok when I first got it I thought hey this is awesome it works fast and man it heats up super fast also. Then months and weeks go by and i am seeing really bad things going on.I used to have really pretty (kind of) hair and now my hair is sooooo bad i have split ends and even worse i have split ends on the top of my hair also so even if i brush my hair or something it still looks really bad and i don't know what to do i hate my hair not straightend but i also don't want it to be a horrible frzz ball mess. So i think i am better of with Solia it sounds really good!! Please don't buy seriously your hair will end up like my A MESS!!!

Product Rating: 5 Best Flat Iron
Reviewer: Alisa from New York City  Mon Jul 18 2005

This is the best flat iron that I've tried (and I've tried a lot of them!). It only lasts about a year or two before the heating element burns out but for 25 bucks, it's totally worth it. At the salon it costs me 35 bucks per flattening so to pay 25 a year isn't bad at all. I highly recommend this product - it makes my curly hair stick straight

Product Rating: 1 its really bad
Reviewer: kristi kirchman from belle glade, florida  Mon Jul 18 2005

ok so i thought when i first got it it was great but its not your hair will get so damaged and have sl=plit hair and alll that and when your straitening your hair little hairs get caught in the ceramic part and itll pull the hair out and cause it to break even more and after a while mine burned up the wires inside for some odd reason and caused it not to heat anymore and if you try to make it heat it just sits there with the light on so trust me you do not wanna waste your time with this product

Product Rating: 1 SuckS!!
Reviewer: angie from el paso  Sat Jul 16 2005

Yeah this straightner is good like for the first month after that ur hair gets all damage up! i bought mine like 3 months ago, since it was not expensive i thought why not give it a try , the worst thing i could do to my hair!! It burned it then it stop working it smoked up all this black smoke would come out from it and some buzing sound too, and i had only used it for like a month it is horrible DO NOT BUY!!! take it from me ive used it PLZ I BEG U ALL! ur hair would probably look better the way it is than all burned up! Im know here looking for a new straightner it looks like Solia is good!

Product Rating: 5 AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
Reviewer: Lauren from Edmond, Oklahoma  Sat Jul 16 2005

this iron is FANTASTIC!!!! i have really curly and frizzy hair. ive always had problems with it getting poofy after i straighten it but this does the trick perfectly. i'd send in a pic of before and after but i dont have any. IT IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!! it made my hair pin straight in 15 when it usually takes 30 minutes. i usually had a sterotype that all metal irons were terrible but this one blew me out of the water. it makes my hair soo silky. i would recommend this to anyone and the price is phenomenal!!!!1

Product Rating: 5 amazing
Reviewer: priya   Wed Jul 13 2005

ive read a lot of the reviews for this iron and was surprised it got such a low rating. i now need to buy a new iron, preferrably a ceramic, but this iron lasted me 4 years, it was amazing. it didnt pull on my hair, it didnt burn it, it didnt burn out and it made my hair soft and most importantly straight w/o too much damage

Product Rating: 2 Ehh
Reviewer: Felicia from NEW YORK  Mon Jul 11 2005

I have been straightening my hair for 3 years w. this iron. At first my perfectly curly hair did well. it was soft shiny and well..straight! But about 3 months after i bought it , it burnt my hair. not like a lil bit. like a whole 2 inch piece fell off!!!!!! I WAS MORTIFIED. but yet i thought i did something wrong...so i kept using it. But the second year i used it it started to burn all my hair. it was horrible!!!! it completely ruined my hair!!!!! now my hair has split ends and my hair doesnt curl nice anymore.

TAKE SOME ADVICE,

WHY DONT YOU ALL JUST LET YOUR HAIR GO WAVY OR CURLY? ITS PROBEBLY MUCH PRETTIER THAT WAY!!!! If its frizzy, just find the right product to put in it! ((i use bio silk now)) Biosilk is the best stuff you can buy to make your hair look less damaged. ((dont put 2 much or it will look greasy)

IM ON THIS SITE LOOKING FOR A NEW BETTER HAIR STRAIGHTENER!!!!

Product Rating: 5 The Best Straightener!
Reviewer: Stephanie   Fri Jul 08 2005

This straightener is by far the best I have ever used. I have spent tons of money on expensive straighteners and they can't even compare to how well this one works on my hair!!

Product Rating: 4 Quick and easy
Reviewer: Kerry from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada  Tue Jul 05 2005

The best flat iron I've ever used. A little difficult to use with shorter hair because of the width but it is effective.

I have extremely curly hair and it takes me about 10 minutes with the iron to do what a hairdresser takes 45 minutes to do with the hairdryer.

Product Rating: 5 !!!AWESOME!!!
Reviewer: A from Calgary from Calgary  Mon Jul 04 2005

Fabulous tool for my curly thick hair! Even straightens quickly when my hair is wet. And who can argue with the price?!?!?! I LOVE this tool!

Product Rating: 4 Great product!
Reviewer: Toni Ramirez from Columbus, Ohio  Mon Jun 27 2005

This is a great product and works great for the reasonable price tag. It is exactly what I was looking for in a product and for much cheaper than the high price end ones!

Product Rating: 2 EH
Reviewer: ME from NY  Mon Jun 27 2005

I have wavy hair... I had never seen my hair straight before, so when i tried the hot tools...i was totally amazed...the problem is that hot tools leaves your hair dry and gives you ALOT of split ends. many people like this product because they have never seen their hair straight before. Buy a better product which is less damaging for your hair. i heard the solia is the best product out there right now...and my hot tools broke after a year... so i had to buy a new one...im planning on buying a solia
