Product Rating: 4 Hoot Tools Flat Iron
Reviewer: BJ Reed from Park City Utah  Wed Feb 02 2005

This product has not burned out as yet. My last two purchases of flat irons were the Wego brand and they burned out (on one side each time) within 3 to 6 months. They say save your receipt and send it back if this should happen. I sent mine back but nothing ever happened! That was about three months ago.

Product Rating: 2 DONT BUY THIS
Reviewer: Cate from Abingdon, Maryland  Tue Feb 01 2005

I had it for only a few weeks and then it began to go downhill! It worked excellent for the first week or two and then it started losing heat. This flat iron doesn't heat evenly and you're forced to straighten the same strands of hair about 7 times. I have very, very thick hair and its also wavy. Its horrible to manage and I tried everything. I thought I found something that actually worked, but I was wrong. DONT BUY THIS, ITS A WASTE OF YOUR $30.00!!!

Product Rating: 4 good.. but
Reviewer: Sophhie   Mon Jan 31 2005

I REALLY liked this straightener.. but there were a few draw backs. It kind of damaged my hair after a while, and it broke after about a year and a half. It just stopped working. I would really recomend it though, just store it in a place where its likely to not get damaged. Definately don't keep it in the bathroom, the steam messes it up.

Product Rating: 5 Great product
Reviewer: Mary Jane Hernandez from Dover, DE  Mon Jan 31 2005

I've been using this for 5 years and just recently needed a replacement. This product is perfect for natural frizzy curls. It really makes it straight.

Product Rating: 5 awesome

Product Rating: 3 not that great!
Reviewer: Emily from Venice Beach, Florida  Sun Jan 30 2005

Although this straightner does a very good job of straightning my hair, all of mine have broke. I've bought two of them this year! It also breaks your hair off and damages it!

Product Rating: 2 Good: Not for Long
Reviewer: Julia from Massachusetts  Fri Jan 28 2005

Like many others, I bought this as my first flat iron... i loved it... i had it almost 3 years. But, when it finally died, i replaced it with another one... but this one broke in only 3 months. One plate worked and the other didn't. A friend of mine had the same one and had the same problem with one plate not working.

Product Rating: 5 i love it!

Product Rating: 2 Don't do it!!!
Reviewer: Kay from Alabama  Thu Jan 27 2005

I got this flat iron about 2 1/2 years ago. It worked GREAT with my hair the first 2 or 3 times. After that, I would have to constantly run this iron over the same strand of hair to get it to work. It fried my hair and also broke all the time. Don't do it. Save your money and get the Kenta.

Product Rating: 1 STOPPED WORKING
Reviewer: Holly from CC  Wed Jan 26 2005

I would like to convey to everyone out there that the first time I bought this iron I LOVED it! It worked for about a year then died. I got another one which lasted an even shorter amount of time, and stupidly another which lasted a mere 3 months. DONT BUY ITS A WASTE OF MONEY YOUR BETTER OFF WITH A SEDU!

Product Rating: 1 Stopped Working
Reviewer: Cindy from Puerto Rico  Tue Jan 25 2005

This flat iron stopped working after five months of use. I would suggest to spend a bit of money and purchase a product that will last for a while.

Product Rating: 5 Good Product Great Service
Reviewer: C Gore from West Virginia  Mon Jan 24 2005

I am extremely happy with the flat iron and the service has been extraordinary. I will continue doing business with Folica.

Product Rating: 5 Bliss
Reviewer: Heather from Wilmington  Sat Jan 22 2005

I've had mine for about 6 years and the power and heat is remarkable. The size of the head is huge and can hold a lot of hair which makes it QUICK!! Unfortunately I've used other peoples' which don't have the power that mine carries. But everyone always asks me to bring mine wherever we go b/c mine is the master of all! (sometimes it smells like burnt hair but that just means its working)

Product Rating: 5 served me well
Reviewer: Allison from Maryland  Wed Jan 19 2005

My brother bought me this product almost 5 years ago for the holidays. It was the first hair straightner that i ever have owned. I was so happy with the results. I have thich wavy/curly frizzy and puffy hair. So, I have to blow dry my hair before i use it. But even so it worked great. It made my hair go 'down' and be 'flat' and everything i had wanted. It took a long time but i was satisfied. Recently i decided i wanted to try a new straigtner. So i splurged for the $ 190 Japanese Ceramic Digital Hair Straightener by Bion. I had used my friends and loved it and it worked great. If you have the money and the bad hair then go for it but if not then go for this one because my hot tools still works for me today (while i wait for my other one to be delivered).

Product Rating: 5 Good Product
Reviewer: Iyer   Tue Jan 18 2005

I am sorry to hear about some of the bad reviews, but this hot iron works for me. I have a very coarse, thick, frizzy and curly asian hair. I have tried so many hair products including relaxers before I found this straightner. I now have a manageably straight hair. I have used this product for the last 8 months and still going. Hope it lasts long!!

Product Rating: 4 Long lasting product - takes some finesse!
Reviewer: maureen from DC  Tue Jan 18 2005

I have owned this straightner for 3 years and it still works perfectly - I am sooo satisfied especially for price. I have long very thick and wavy hair and when I blowdried and used the straightner my hair was very straight but still thick and "big". I discovered that if i just let my hair air dry and use a little bit of hair serum (I use the European brand steiner but i'm sure frizz-ease is good too) before I straighten each section my hair looks AMAZING - I get lots of compliments from people who knew me before and they also want to know my secrets. Takes me 30 minutes 'til perfection and lasts looking really good 3-4 days. I suggest trying this straightner before putting down 100-200 for a ceramic - a little experimentation can go along way with this iron.

Product Rating: 5 Best Straigtener!!!
Reviewer: Marie   Mon Jan 17 2005

I first heard about Hot Tools at my friends and it s the best straightener. My hair is really thisck and it makes my hair feel light and soft.

Product Rating: 5 My first purchase at Folica
Reviewer: Pam from Michigan  Mon Jan 10 2005
