Reviewer: Ellen from Somers, NY  Fri Sep 28 2007

This is a great inexpensive flat iron. We bought it after my Niece had one and her hair is very curl and thick. M daughter dropped it a few times so we recently bought a new one at Folica. We're very pleased and Folica delivered it very quickly!

Product Rating: 1 Smells
Reviewer: Anonymous   Sat Sep 15 2007

This straightener smells HORRIBLE when you plug it in. I was online shopping for a straightener for my friend for her birthday and I read all the good reviews for this one. I recognized it as the one that my sister used to use a few years ago. I plugged it in to see how good it was before I bought it for my friend and it made the bathroom smell like it was on fire. Also, the size of the plates was cumbersome to say the least. All over, I would highly advise not to buy this product and to go for a different brand.

Product Rating: 3 Ok for the price
Reviewer: Jess from Lindsay  Mon Sep 10 2007

it works well, you get bone straight hair but it pulls your hair and hurts when doing it.

Product Rating: 5 great product for the money

Product Rating: 3 So-so
Reviewer: Anari from Bellevue, Washington  Sat Sep 01 2007

I have thick, curly hair that has been processed way too many times. At first this iron is great...couple weeks after using it your hair thins and starts to break. It beings to look dull. They last in between 1-2 years as I've found owning several in the past. They have warranty's. Save your receipt in case they break or the plates start to seperate and rip your hair out as it catches. If you have fairly straight, and easy to manage hair I'd say go for it. Otherwise spend a little more. You'll be happy you did.

Product Rating: 4 Great Iron
Reviewer: Paula Leonardo from Staten Island, NY  Mon Aug 27 2007

I have been using hot tools for years. The iron gets my thick curly hair very staright. The only problem is that if you drop it, they do crack.

The service at folica.com was excellant. I recieved my product the next day!

Product Rating: 4 dont leave in carry case on.
Reviewer: Katie from Utah  Fri Aug 24 2007

It is a really great iron for the price. One recommendation, don't turn it on and leave it in the carry case. It will melt.

Product Rating: 5 Works perfect for me
Reviewer: Amy from Nashville, TN  Thu Aug 16 2007

Works perfectly well with my coarse,wavy hair.. and it's reasonably priced as well!

Product Rating: 2 NOT THAT GOOD!!!
Reviewer: Kassie from Texas  Sun Aug 12 2007

I bought this flat iron about 3 yrs. ago (it broke this past summer), but it worked ok at first took a long time to do my hair and I have thin curly hair! but after a while it just didn't work that good. Really damaged my hair, and as soon as I got it the plates were moving out of place! Plus it was relly bulky and hard to move around my thin hair! I would not recomended this product to anyone!!!

Product Rating: 3 Recommended for TAMER hair.
Reviewer: Josie from Columbus, Ohio  Tue Aug 07 2007

My sisters and I all have different kinds of hair. All of our hair is about 5 inches below the shoulders.

My sister Sierra has very tight curls and extremely frizzy hair.
My other sister Macky has very thin but frizzy hair.
I, Josie have loose curls and a little frizz.

We tested this iron on all of our hair, using only shampoo and conditioner. Here are the results:

Sierra- Took about 2 hours to do whole head. Straightness went away after about 3 hours.

Macky- It took 30 minutes to do her. Straightness went away 5 hours later.

Me, Josie- It took me about 1 hour to do my hair. The straightness went away 5 hours later.

ALL OF US- All of our hair remained poofy and frizzy.
However, this straightener worked the best for Macky and I.

If you have hardcore frizzy curly hair, you shouldn't buy this iron. But if your hair has loose curls, waves, and is a little frizzy, this iron would be best for you. It's cheap and provides excellent results. The only problem is that the straightness goes away quickly :(

Product Rating: 3 Okay Product
Reviewer: Erin from Santa Ana, cA  Mon Aug 06 2007

I've been using this hair straightner for years now...not knowing that it has been the reason for all my hair problems. The product works great for straightning but, I loose so much hair when I'm using it & I also have a lot of dead ends because of it. Also, I've gone through so many of these irons that's it's ridiculous....When I first bought this product it said Ceramic flat iron on the box...then most recently when I bought a new one it said "Gold Metal Plated"...seeing that was my answer to why I have so many problems with my hair.

Overall, the product is good....but, not worth all the damage that it has done to my hair over the past 5 years.

Product Rating: 4 Hot Tools
Reviewer: Anonymous  

I have been using Hot Tools for almost 5 years now. I love it! It does a great job turning my thick, course, and curly hair into a sleek and straight style. The only downfall is that sometimes your hair gets caught between the plates and the piece that holds them. The flat iron lasts for years! A very good purchase.

Product Rating: 4 Excellent Straightener
Reviewer: Happy Customer   Wed Aug 01 2007

I had a straightener for a while, which didn't do anything but waste my time and unstraighten my hair within 5 minutes of using it. I have thick wavy/curly hair, and it takes me unusually long to straighten my hair. I also hate using hair products because I don't like too much "stuff" in my hair. But this straightener works magic. My hair is beautifully straight, but not that pin straight look which I hate...It adds body to my hair and its satin soft to the touch. I can't help playing with my hair constantly. And the best part is that my hair remains straight until my next wash, unlike my old straightener with which 5 mins later it went back to its curls. I've had it for a couple of months now and absolutely love this straightener. DEFINITELY worth the price!!!
