Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools Flat Iron
Reviewer: Theresa   Fri Jun 24 2005

I got the same quality (from the other online marketers of similar products) for half the price from folica.com.

Product Rating: 1 Not even worth spending $20 on it
Reviewer: Rachel   Thu Jun 23 2005

I bought my Hot Tools a couple of years ago. It was the first hair straightener that I have ever used and it is horrible. I have thick wavy hair and the hot tools just dosen't cut it. I would have to straighten my hair 3 times, once after my shower, a couple hours later, and again in the morning before I went to school just to get it semi straight. Then after being outside for five minutes the wave in my hair would start to come back and my hair would become frizzy again.The Hot tools also damaged my hair making it dry, brittle and causing many split ends. Not to mention it breaks easily and takes forever to heat up. Don't by this product unless you want to be dissapointed.

Reviewer: Jennifer Rivenbark from Fayetteville, North Carolina  Tue Jun 21 2005

I love this flat iron! I bought one about 5 years ago. Just recently my iron stopped working so I immediately started searching online for a new one. I was pleased to find this same iron again. They have made some small modifications, but it still works great. I have naturally curly, thick, somewhat coarse hair and it gets it perfectly straight everytime. It makes my hair feel soft and look great. I will never be without one!!!

Product Rating: 3 it went from OMG GREAT to YEAH WHATEVER.
Reviewer: S unit   Fri Jun 17 2005

well I bought this straightener and it was absolutely great on my hair. i have super thick crazy curly hair and this was the first thing i had that actually helped it out. i was in love with it. THE drawback, however, is that it broke on me. i thought maybe it fell on the ground alot but that wasn't the thing. the same exact thing happened to my friend. the thing just stopped heating up. i was disappointed because i got it for 50 bucks when it really is HALF THE PRICE OF THAT. anywayy, it's good for a certain amount of time than it all goes away.

Product Rating: 5 GREAT!!!
Reviewer: Kendralyse from MN  Mon Jun 13 2005

I REALLY liked my straightener! I have naturally curly/ kinky hair. It worked GREAT! I used it everyday and it didnt dry out my hair or damage it! My hairstylist even told me i have very healthy hair! I Bought it september 8, 2003 and quit working around june 5, 2005 it may have quit working b/c it was dropped on the floor a few times by my careless sister!! I am going to buy myself another straightener. And im thinking this will be the one!

Product Rating: 5 Great Product!
Reviewer: Carly from NY  Mon Jun 06 2005

I don't have very curly hair, but it's wavy. This product is great and works well. It doesn't dry my hair out, and although I was told by my stylist not to use it every day, I do because it never seems to do any damage to my hair. This is a great product, and I recommend it to anyone!

Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools Works
Reviewer: Kerryn   Thu Jun 02 2005

Anything Hot Tools works amazing on medium or short hair, especially this model and the mini straightener, i have really thick hair and i used to mini and it worked great and so does this one.

Product Rating: 3 need a reallly cheap, good straightner? pick this one
Reviewer: karen from vancouver  Wed May 25 2005

bought this when everybody was talking about it. back then it was $50, now it's much cheaper!! for the price, it works extremely well. i have really curly hair and it worked great! but the biggest problem is that it takes a really long time to use!! you have to section out your hair and go over it a few times. but doesn't pull out hair, which is good. takes awhile to heat up, so for it to even work properly, plug it in for at least 5-10mins and set it on the highest setting. if you do a low setting it won't work. if you need a straightner and can't invest in one worth a lot of money, go for this one!

Product Rating: 5 Awesome product
Reviewer: Stephanie   Wed May 18 2005

I started using this product at the recommendation of my hair stylist 4 years ago. It literally changed my life. As someone with curly, thick hair who always blew it out straight, I would watch it frizz and kink up all the time. When I use this flat iron, frizz simply does not happen. My hair ALWAYS stays straight and in control. I give this out for birthday gifts, and my friends have similiar experiences. The only drawback is that the iron seems to break down after about 18 months. It is so cheap, though, that it is still a bargain.

Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools Flat Iron
Reviewer: B.J. Reed from Park City, Utah  Tue May 17 2005

My Hot Tools flat iron is working great. I particularly like the heavy duty cord on this appliance. A tip to the user.....when finished using this flat iron DON'T wrap the cord. Let it hang loose. Wrapping the cord just weakens the coils of wire inside. I've had no problems with this product and the service I received was prompt and courteous. I will do business with this company again!

Product Rating: 5 Great Product!
Reviewer: Alyssa from Mn  Tue May 10 2005

This product is really great i have owned it for years and i love it! i have really thick hair and it is the only one that actually quickly straitenes my hair and makes it look great!

Product Rating: 4 Well...
Reviewer: jen   Mon May 09 2005

This hair straightener works well w/ a blowdryer, but when you try to just striaghten it, it leaves you with a damadged look.

Product Rating: 5 Great product and great price..good for thick hair
Reviewer: JSteel from Chicago  Sun May 08 2005

I love this product, used it for almost 5 years before the plastic broken off and I have to throw it away. Its great product for great price, its better than vidal sasson that I just bought from Walgreens..piece of crap!!...I never have a problem with this product what so ever...my hair is really long, weavy , thick and its work great on my hair.

Product Rating: 2 Damaging
Reviewer: S. from San Francisco  Mon May 02 2005

This iron doesn't get hot enough, pulls, breaks, and leaves me with severely damaged locks. Piece of CRAP.

Product Rating: 2 it left me with SPLIT ENDS!
Reviewer: Sabrina from Houston, Tx.  Mon May 02 2005

Well, I would have to say that at first this straightner worked GREAT!. . But then as a couple of weeks progressed, I noticed that it left me with a ton of split ends. I mean yea it's cheap and all. . but it's not worth it. Really because after a couple of months it stopped heating up. So no I do not recommend this to anyone who is looking to buy a hair-straightner. I also DO NOT recommend CON-AIR or REVLON straightners because they were just the same, STOPPED HEATING!

Product Rating: 2 Damages Easily
Reviewer: Mandy from Houston, Texas  Mon Apr 25 2005

I would definately not recomend this straightner if you have thin or fine hair because I do, and it damaged my hair after only a few times of using it. It also gave me lots of split ends. :(

Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools Professional Flat Iron
Reviewer: Kristina Saar from Walnut Creek, CA  Sat Apr 23 2005

For $29.94 total, I was able to have the Hot Tools Professional Flat Iron delivered to my home, and I was thrilled. I usually buy it from my hair stylist for twice the price, so, as you can imagine, I was happy to find this exact model online. It's works great. :)

Product Rating: 2 eh not so great
Reviewer: Whitney from Oregon  Mon Apr 18 2005

the hot tools straightner works well, but defiently not as good as other straightners such as the brand CHI. I recommend it to all people who have really curly hair or textured hair. This hot tools straightner causes lots of split ends if you don't properly take care of your hair. yes it is a great money saver but buy something that you think you'll use for a really long time and has great quality. hot tools isn't the best

Product Rating: 2 plate problems...
Reviewer: H.A.   Sat Apr 16 2005

Well, this was my first "GOOD" straightener that I bought... it's definitely way better than the conair ones I've had... however, not just me, but a lot of my friends and family that have bought this same straightener have had this problem- the plates stop warming up after a certain amount of months... I'd say after about 6 months. I ended up buying another one... same thing happened... then another one... same thing happened... then I just bought a different brand. I bought the white revlon flat iron with 20 heat settings, and it works just as well, but lasts a lot longer.

Product Rating: 5 THE BEST!
Reviewer: Ayanna   Sat Apr 09 2005

If it can straighten MY hair it's good with me! This is the only flat iron that makes my hair striaght enough that people think I have a perm! My hair is natural so it's hard to get it to that point.
