if you want something good and spend money, add maybe $30 and get something that will actually be great.. instead of this that you will want to replace within a few months.
not the best, but alright

I bought a wigo straightner because I didn't want to spend the money on a chi and the salesperson said the wigo was the next best thing. Well, it not only pulls my hair out when I use it, it doesn't close all the way so it doesn't straighten my hair. My advice, buy a chi, my roomate has one and they're definitly worth the money. The wigo, not so much.
Not worth the money!!

My daughter and I both have thick, wavy defiant hair. We have used a few cheap Walmart flat irons that didn't work that well. Our stylist uses a CHI which works great so my daughter wanted one. I chose to try the WIGO instead even though the reviews were bad thinking the price was between the cheap irons and the CHI so how bad could it be. Well the saying you get what pay for really applies here! I read the reviews for all the flat irons and for the price the FHI was the best. I returned the WIGO and bought the FHI. The WIGO did OK compared to the cheap Walmart varieties but if you are looking for a good professional iron that leaves your hair straight & silky the WIGO is not the one. Buy the FHI like I did.....you won't regret it!
ICK!

I bought this straightener and after about 2 months the straightner plates were burned around the edges and it continually ripped out strands of hair. By the end of straightening my hair there were strands stuck in the plates and my hair smelled and looked fried. : (
An Absolutely Horrid Iron

I have thick hair that is pretty wavy. I got this iron for my last birthday. Big mistake. It would take me 2 hours to get my hair straight and then when I finished and stepped outside it would look horrible even in non-humid weather. On a section that was really wavy it would take literally 5 minutes to get it straight and sometimes it would stay wavy. It would also burn my hair and snag alot of it so when I would finish ironing my hair there would be all these pieces of hair caught in the iron. I have also noticed that the red coat on the iron is coming off and I take very good care of my iron. For my birthday this year I'm planning on getting the chi turbo so I can say goodbye wigo.
waste of money

At first it was good, then it began to take longer to heat up and now the plates do not fit together right. It is almost as if they bent outward. I do not recommend this product.
Lousy flat iron

So far, this is the only flat iron I've purchased and at first I was happy with it...but that has changed. My hair has become so dried out and damaged and I attribute that to it's use. It takes FOREVER to straighten my hair with it, as I have to go over sections repeatedly, and the affect doesn't last. My hair will frizz and pouf up again even after getting it as straight as I can. Plus, hairs get caught in it sometimes and it pulls 'em. I've used a friend's Chi flat iron in the past and it worked beautifully. As soon as I buy a new one, the Wigo is going in the trash.
BLAH!

I've colored my hair many times and I swim, so my hair is extremely dried out and hard to straighten if I don't spent the time to blow dry it correctly...the wigo CAN get my hair straightened very nicely and it gets it smooth and sleek, but it takes FOREVER...i seriously need to spend an hour and a half at least to get it looking the way i like it, which could be because it's only 1"....but it's not expensive and if your hair is not hard to straighten or if you have the time to do it, I'd go with this one.
Eh!

I bought my Wigo last year right before school started, so sometime in the summer. It worked great for a while. A couple of months ago I realized it was beginning to work poorly. The plates are beginning to rust, and there is a horrible smell while it heats up. Both plates still work, but this straightener is just not worth it at all. It leaves my hair smelling horribly! My friend has a Remington and when she straightens my hair with it, it leaves my hair shiny, and it doesn't smell. She has had it for about 2 years and it still works amazing! I would recommend it, but that's my opinion. My Wigo didn't even last me a year!
same problem twice

at first when i received my straightener, it worked REALLY well. then, after about 8 months, one of the plates just stopped heating up. so i sent i back in since it was still under warranty, and low and behold, a year later, the same problem occurred. my sister had gotten the same straightener at the same time i did at first...and we both ended up sending them in together because she had the same problem as well. now, her replacement one is shorting out, and the on/off switch doesnt turn off.
dont bother wasting your money.

Do not waste your money on this awful straightner! I had bought one and about 8mths later one side no longer worked! Thinking that it was me I bought another and guess what after about 6mths one side no longer worked! What a waste of money, It worked really well for about 1 month and I notice it was not getting as hot! Take my advice invest in another straightner!

I first heard about wigo from my sister in law. She was in town visiting,I used it and i loved it. So for my birthday she surprised me with one. I apsolutely loved it I would always get compliments on my hair. Everyone said i have "pantene pro-v hair". Then after about 5 months i noticed it wouldn't straighten as well, Then one day one of the plates just stopped working. It was the best straightenner i have used, I usually bought ones from the drug store. So if you want a slightly more expensive good straightener buy this one.....
What are you people doing to your flat iron?

I have had my wigo for over 3 years and I have never had a problem with it..I have a friend who is a hairdresser and swears by her Chi iron. She tried mine and says there is not much of a difference. I have even forgot to shut it off some times and it works like a charm. I have no idea what you are doing to your irons but i have never been happier with mine.

Hi, I used to have this item but I had a stylist that used a Chi, & it worked great, but I have since found an item that is a MIRACLE, & its the Smooth by Paul Mitchell, That is the BEST flat iron I have ever seen, it has adjustable temp. controls & your hair will NOT frizz after use. Anyone who think Chi is the best try this item first!
