It works well. I've had mine for almost a year now. Its starting to wear out. It makes my long thick curly hair staticy, but nothing thats unmanageable. In another 6 months, i'd assume i'll need another, as it is slowly getting old.
depends on your hair type.

i was very excited about getting this product because of the good reviews that I heared. When I first tried it, it made my hair stick straight (my hair is naturally wavy) and it gave my hair a nice shine. However, after using it so many times (i use it almost everyday), i developed LOTS of slit ends resulting in my hair to not be as straight at the ends. I use this straightener on a bunch of my friends and I found that the results varied. It won't go perfectly straight if your hair has lots of split ends. I once straightened my friend's hair with a CHI (i own LOTS of straighteners), and it worked well, I tried this straightener a few days later, and it made her hair VERY frizzy. Don't use the straightener if you have lots of split ends. Also, the container that hold the water for the steam is tiny, so you have to keep filling it up. Overall, it's an ok product. I, however, do not use it anymore.
Nervous to buy... GLAD I DID

I read all the reviews before I went out and got this straightener and was so nervous because people were really back and fourth... I think this flat iron does Amazing ... and it doesnt leave my hair looking like straw!! My hair is soft and shiny... and feels great!

Wow! I just bought it tonight after much deliberation. Pricey and I have a large collection of straighteners just not worth the effort for end result. I straightened my hair and could not believe the results. At first was worried because it looked frizzy but just made sure under layers were straightened and now I don't recognize myself in the mirror. Very put together for a change. Every time I straightened in the past I felt like I had a really bad wig on. Nothing worked. (I have very curly ringlets). I love my curly hair but it is so nice to have a change and feel smooth. I only had to put in a bit of a glossy oil in for finishing touch. NO gel or mousse. And I am very lazy but found the job not tedious at all. Fun!
Disappointed

Was exited to get this product. I find that it does not straighten hair as good as my other (wigo) straightener. I have fine highlighted hair - I just do not see what the deal is with this product. My tourmaline staightener leaves my hair silky and very straight - this one does not! Big waste of $$$$
OK product.

I just purchased this product for my 8 yr. old daughter and she has very thick curly hair. It works great from her roots to the middle of her hair but it has dried up her ends. Also the water reservoir is too small and you have to keep filling it up constantly or re-setting from low to high steam. If you have long curly hair like my daughter, it will take you about 1-2 hrs. just to do your hair. I also agree with another reviewer that it does make the hair frizzy. I don't believe this product was worth the $99.00 I paid in Feb.2009
Works really well

I've had my fair share of straighteners and this one really is quite effective. My sister got one for christmas and I was mortified when I saw that It was a conair, but was quite surprised when I tried it.
Conair usually makes cheap, waste of money straighteners but this one is just as efficient as the salon hair straighteners I've had. (Babyliss, solia)
The only downfall is that it's quite big, so not that great for shorter hair. It does curl the tips and sraighten wonderfully though.
I definetly recommend this one !
It's not that Great

I was extremely excited to get this straightener when I saw on TV. But when I finally got it, I was very disappointed. I tried straightening my hair one day and the straightener did NOT do a good job. My old straightener works way better than this. I would not recommend this. I love the CHI way more! It actually straightens your hair!
would not reccomand

I am an african american woman with natural hair.I havent had a perm in 3 1/2 years. I tried the conair straightener for a month.At first it didnt straighten my hair very well at all.I even combed my hair out first and it was still very puffy. The steam didnt last long and I kept having to refill the water. I used it several more times. Each time it straightened a little better. It got to the point were I could wear a smooth ponytail but the ends were puffy and would go in every direction. It never got better after that. I will invest my mony in to buying a sedu.
this is the best

It works really well, the first few times.
I've had mine for 6 months, and i normall only have to go over my hair once, but its starting to lose its touch. I had the Sedu before, and compared to that, the infiniti is quite heavy as well.
good for me

I have horrible frizzy hair - just horrible. Used to spend an hour trying to straighten it only to walk outside in hot humid Houston and in less than 15 minutes, I would be embarrassed. I have tried so many products (expensive and cheap), lotions and potions and have finally STRUCK GOLD! I bought this for myself for Christmas and for the first time in my life, I have straight shiny manageable hair that lasts and lasts and lasts. It took more than 50 years to finally get compliments on my hair - not kidding. I'm so thrilled.
I do add two easy inexpensive products which I believe helps keep the results I've been getting. After drying my hair with a blow dryer (quite frightening looking too), I spray ion anti-frizz solutions (heat protection) on my hair and use the straightener. Before leaving the house, I lightly spray it with Frizz-ease Moisture Barrier firm-hold hair spray - it dries super quick so it won't alter your hair. Best moisture protection I have found to date.
I have been out in early morning damp air and damp night air and it has stayed straight. If only I could find my camera, I swear, you'd be shocked at the results. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Finally a product that won't end up in my "hair appliance graveyard".
Not worth $$

I bought this iron because I thought with steam it would be better. I also bought a more exspencive reliable brand. All I can say is the other brand walks all over this iron. It makes my hair shiny and soft. The Conair makes my hair dull, and it gets knotty quick.

I see lots of different opinions. the 1st one i saw said
i dont recommend "conair products" and that its a waste of money, and the next one said oh its great, well what you all dont get is that everyones hair is different and well some straighteners work differently dependig on the type of hair you have. So if you think you are going purchase this product, go ahead, ITS SIMPLY AMAZING. but those of you haters out there, go talk to your hair stylist. SOO ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU BOUGHT IT AND IT DIDNT WORK SO GREAT FOR YOU.... :)
