Product Rating: 5 Very cool
Reviewer: Ashley from Torrance, CA  Thu Mar 08 2007

This straightener is awesome. It heats up fast and straightens my hair quickly. It takes me about 20 minutes to straighten my hair(thick hair) and the heat never decreases. The only problem I have with this straightener is that it smells, even after using it several times. My hair comes out very silky and shiney.

Product Rating: 3 eh.

Product Rating: 5 excellent product
Reviewer: LYNN from NEW PORT RICHEY, FLORIDA  Sun Mar 04 2007

I HAVE HAD MY IRON FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR AND IT IS WONDERFUL. I DROPPED IT AND SOME PIECES BROKE OFF OF IT BUT STILL WORKS GREAT. I AM GETTING ANOTHER ONE BECAUSE THE PRICE IS GOOD AND I DON'T WANT MY HAIR TO GET STUCK IN THE BRKEN PIECES. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS.I HAVE NATURALLY CURLY HAIR AND IT KEEPS MY HAIR STRAIGHT FOR A LONG TIME.

Product Rating: 4 Sustained plenty of abuse and still lasted a while for a good price
Reviewer: Natalie from michigan  Thu Mar 01 2007

I bought this straightener about 6 years ago from a beauty supply store for about $35. Lets just say it took a lot of abuse. It was used almost every day, and dropped on a ceramic tile bathroom floor probably hundreds of times. It only took so much because about a year ago it started acting up. It would work, then it would shut off in the middle of use, then I'd have to bang it around to turn it back on. Eventually about a month ago it stopped working indefinetly. I think for the price it ran a long life. Although it was a very good straightener when it came to styling and reliability, it wasn't too good to my hair. It caused a lot of splitting and thinning of my hair. Overall, even though it did a lot of damage, it proved reliable for some 5-6 years and gave me the straightest hair possible for a good price.

Product Rating: 4 Works great!!!
Reviewer: Vincenza Marchese from Parish, NY  Sat Feb 24 2007

I have never used a flat iron before, but this one was easy. I liked the adjustable heat setting and the heatproof pouch/mat. When used in accordance with the directions, my hair was smooth, flat, and shiney. This was a very good product for me.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent
Reviewer: Trish from marquette, mi 49855  Tue Feb 20 2007

This is the best hair straightner ever!

Product Rating: 2 Don't buy
Reviewer: anonymous from Oregon  Mon Feb 19 2007

I have had this product for a year now and loved at first but then i droped it and the heating took longer and was very uneven. I used it and left it on for about 45 minutes and the top started to melt the sides crack and break over time.IThis product has also caused a lot of breakage in my hair even with use of heat resistent product that i was told to use so it would not damage my hai ( kms silker, this product is great). I also bout this product for $50.00 and it is not worth it. I guess at this price it is a better deal but watch out!

Product Rating: 3 ok if you really want to know
Reviewer: Casey from Somewhere cool  Sun Feb 18 2007

this was 20 dollars when i bought it, which was three years ago. it still gets the job done. To be completely honest theres no special features like it won't harm your hair. IT WILL. i'm a swimmer so i have to straighten it every day which caused it to (my hair) split and thin but if you use it only every other day, its a good choice for your first straightener. All though its not perfect i almost find myself attached to it because its "loyal"

Product Rating: 5 This works wonderfuly!!
Reviewer: Hailey   Fri Feb 16 2007

This works so good, it made my hair the thinest it has ever been!! I have had many straighners, but this is the best one yet!! So I suggest this hair straightner to girls who have thick curly/wavy hair!! I love this product!!

Product Rating: 3 Did u Know...
Reviewer: MARIA   Tue Feb 06 2007

THAT THIS FLAT IRON WAS INITIALLY PRICED AT $500 SOME YEARS AGO?? ITS TRUE!! WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AT THE PROFFESSIONAL HAIR TOOLS SHOWS. ANYWAYS A COUPLE YEARS AFTER THE INITIATION OF THIS TOOL I BOUGHT IT, IT WORKED WONDEFULLY FOR SOME TIME THEN SOON JUST DIDNT PERFORM TO THE RATINGS IT HAD RCVD WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. I ALSO PAID $100 FOR IT BACK THEN IN 2004 SO THIS PRICE IS RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. ITS NOT THE BEST BUT FOR THAT PRICE YOULL GET UR MONEYS WORTH :)

Product Rating: 5 Hot Tools Model 1190
Reviewer: Lisa from Toronto, Canada  Mon Feb 05 2007

This product is excellent. I am now able to straighten my curly hair without any problem or difficulty. In Canada, I was not able to find a product which straightened my hair properly. I took a trip to Miami, happened to purchase this flat iron and ever since I have been able to enjoy straight hair!!! I purchased a few more for friends and family (on folica.com) so that they could enjoy these results as well! I definitely recommend this to anyone with naturally curly hair.

Product Rating: 2 So so
Reviewer: cate from Sacramento Ca  Thu Feb 01 2007

I bought the Hot Tools flat iron, as a replacement to the $20 Conair one I first purchased. The Conair lasted me about 2 months (I use a flat iron everyday), whereas the Hot Tools lasted me about 5. If you used a flat iron rarely, only for small sections of your hair, or have fairly thin/straight hair to start with this one isn't bad. It does take alot longer, produce alot more damage and less smooth results than the more expensive brands. I bought a Rusk flat iron for about $180 to replace this one when it went out and although it is alot more money the results and the longer life have been well worth it.

Product Rating: 4 Good Product
Reviewer: Caren   Thu Jan 18 2007

Works exactly like I wanted it to :)

Product Rating: 5 IT IS THE BEST ONE YET!

Product Rating: 5 The only flat iron I will use
Reviewer: Virginia from NJ  Thu Dec 21 2006

This is the best flat iron I have used for my thick long hair. It's the only one I would recommend.

Product Rating: 1 Disappointed with Hot Tools Professional Flat Iron
Reviewer: Bea   Fri Dec 08 2006

I have other hot tools products that I am pleased with and thought I'd try the flat iron, but it didn't do the job at all. I have thick coarse kinky hair and the flat iron virtually did nothing to straigten my hair. I ended up purchasing a chi which I like alot. If you want a quality flat iron bite the bullet and spend the extra money for a chi or sedu.

Product Rating: 4 Great price for how hot it gets!
Reviewer: Andrea from Scarsdale, N.Y.  Fri Dec 08 2006

I bought this straightener about 5 years ago at a salon and my hairstylist used this one. I paid about $60 for it at the time. It still works very well and gets super hot! Keeps your hair straight in humid and rainy weather. (My hair is naturally fairly staight, to slight curl).This is a great flat iron for the price. I can' believe it costs so little now. Down side might be it can damage your hair due to the metal plates, plus side is it has 10 settings and it does not take long to heat up.

Product Rating: 5 for thick hair, this is the one
Reviewer: anonymous from Connecticut  Mon Dec 04 2006

I got my hair done at a salon where they straightened my hair with this straightener. My hair is very thick and wild. Within 20 minutes, my hair was perfectly straight and felt great. If you are looking for a straightener to also make your hair feel thinner, go with hot tools.
