    Great
    This product is inexpensive and is the only hair straightener that works for me. There are different heating settings that you can choose from. Ive tried about every straightener out there and none of them kept my hair straight and frizz free. They were also all ridiculously over priced. I highly suggest it. All of my friends use this straightener too.

    Fixing To Buy #4
    I have only owned one flat iron and it is this one. I bought my first one eight years ago at a salon and paid $50 for it. It never let me down but after a couple of years, I needed a new one. I bought my second and third ones from Folica and I am now going to be buying my fourth one. I use this iron daily, I use it occasionally on my five year old daughter and my seventeen year old stepdaughter uses it along with her friends when they are with her. "WORKS GREAT"

    This Iron Is Great!!!
    my mother had purchesed me one about 5 years ago after trying everything i could to straighten my very long, extremly curly frizzy hair( even using a clothing iron!) it would take me 4hours to blowdry it straight and then it would still be crazy frizzy. i loved it so much because it got extremly hot and acctualy straightened my hair which was incredable and then unfortunatly i lent it to a friend and she broke it! sad day but she felt so bad she bought me a new one and ive had it for almost 3 years now and it still works like i just got it. as long as you keep the plates clean this will last a very long time. the only flaw this iron has is your hair sometimes gets caught at the ends of the plates, but usualy only when im russing and doing sections that are too big. but overall this product is great. next time i use it ill post before and afters..

    Works Well At First, But Doesn't Last
    Ive been using this flat iron for the last 5 years, and have gone through four of them. My first one lasted two years, but since that first one the other thee havent lasted very long at all. The last one I went through, after using it for about 8 months, started to only work if I positioned the cord a certain way, then not long after that it shorted out and exploded, throwing sparks everywhere! The one Im currently using is now starting to only work if the cord is positioned a certain way... Im scared every time I use it, and needless to say am looking into a different product. I say this product works very well when it is working, but I feel as though the quality of it has been going down exponentially the last few years, and I can no longer recommend this straightener.

    Good If You Have Healhty Hair
    I was really worried about buying this, so I read up all these reviews and decided it was cheap enough. I was happy for a little bit at least...It worked great the first and second use! I was so happy, it kept it straight and nice, I had beautiful hair... but unfortunately I dont have the best hair. By the third and fourth use my hair was fried, even on a lower setting and a spray in protector. My hair was damaged before, but its even worse off now. This straightener works amazing, but if you have hair thats on the verge of completely frying, or has a tendency to die... dont use this straightener. Trust me.

    It Works.
    Its one of the best inexpensive irons Ive used. I never wanted to spend too much on an iron but I just couldnt find a reasonably priced one that would work well until a friend recommended this one. She had actually bought it from a salon for $25 at the time and always used that one. I could never find it in stores but finally i found this site which sells it for such an amazing price.First of all, this iron works almost as well as the one my aunt bought for $100 and my hair is actually pretty frizzy now (after years of applying heat to it) and curly but it doesnt take too much effort to get my hair looking naturally straight and silky. One problem I had with the remington wet to straight iron I used to use is that its got a teflon coat to make it nonstick. Once the teflon comes off though, the surface becomes almost abrasive and burns your hair making it smell bad. The coat on this iron is gold and it doesnt come off so it stays smooth doesnt make your hair smell bad/burnt. Also Ive used this iron on all hair types (doing hair for my cousins and aunts) and it works so it should work on anyones hair as long as they know how to straighten their hair properly to begin with.The only down side to this iron is that if you drop it on the floor you will most definetely break it since its made of plastic which is lightweight. The plastic on the side of mine snapped so that there was a gap in between and my hair kept getting caught in it until after a year it eventually came off altogether so i have to order another one. So try not to drop it on a hard floor. Other than that you should be fine, I mean Im ordering the same iron again because at this price you can actually afford to replace it.

    Awful!
    This product was given to me by a friend a while ago, whos mother was a hair dresser/stylist, so of course i assumed the product would be top quality, (i was younger then, and i didnt have any knowledge about brands). my friend only used the best products on her hair, so i was grateful for the hand-me-down, and i assumed it had been one of her regular styling tools. was i ever wrong. it barely gripped my hair (which shouldnt have been hard since my hair is neither very thin nor thick, or hard to deal with and i was putting in small sections at a time), and when it did grip my hair, ninety percent of the time it snagged it. i ended up having to go over it numerous amounts of time to have it come out only half way decent, and whatever straight-ness it did have, within four hours it was back to its normal, wavy self. i confronted my friend about this, and she said that she wasnt serious about it being professional, and that she knew it was a bad straightener all along. were no longer friends, and my old hot tools hair straighter is in the garbage. good riddence to the both of them.

    It Sucks
    Not worth the money. It doesnt really work. You straighten your hair and it go back to normal after you step outside. I wouldnt recommend this.
