Hot Tools Professional Flat Iron

AnonymousDaytona Beach, FloridaGood If You Have Healhty HairI 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.posted Aug 18, 2008Link to this post

AnonymousIt 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.posted Aug 13, 2008Link to this post

ChloePortland, OregonAwful!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.posted Aug 8, 2008Link to this post

AshleyFloridaIt SucksNot 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.posted Jul 21, 2008Link to this post

MaeganMissouriI Love It Works WellI have really thick hair and long hair and straightens well. I just got my hair cut to my shoulders and it still straightens my hair well. My sister has the same straightener and her hair is thin and kinky curls and it holds the straightness to her hair even in hot weather.posted Jun 5, 2008Link to this post

NicoleNYGood But It Damagesthis straightener lasted six years. and would have lasted longer if.. i didnt snap it in half lol. thats how bad it was. after six years it took like more time to heat up like 5 or 6 minutes and the hinge was getting loose so it wouldnt close right on top of the 2 irons.it made my hair shiny and super straight! but it did soooo much damage to my hair even with a heat protector since its only gold plated and gold plates are known for snagging and leaving hot spots. it doess snag owwie! but itss ok if your hair is so thick that it doesnt get damaged!posted Jun 1, 2008Link to this post

DaniellaNYGood...for A Non Ceramic Standard Cheap IronI got it five years ago...was the biggest hit with everyone I knew because it definitely was way better than all the drugstore irons like Conair.This was before ceramic irons were popular and known about well, at least in my crowd. It did do a decent job straightening especially with heat protectant/ironing spray and straightening shampoo and conditioner. But you basically get what you pay for-it gets very hot and is way better than Conair or other drugstore irons. But since it is non ceramic, it gives some frizz, plus I hear it ripping my hair as I iron. It needs more touch ups the next day than with a ceramic iron.In addition, it is 2 1/4 inch-monster size plates and also the iron is clunky and heavy...not exactly easy to hold. And my friends say that theirs broke. Mine still works after five years but that is probably because I didnt use it frequently. Bottom line is you get what you pay for-it is way more effective than Conair or the other cheap brands. But it doesnt work as well as a ceramic, plus has the cons of a non ceramic such as frizz, damage, less holding power and is kind of clunky. You get what you pay for.posted May 15, 2008Link to this post
