Kelkat O.Toronto, OntarioHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairReviews Don't Sound Too Great For This Product.I am someone with very thick, course and curly hair. Not ringlette curly, but very wavy for sure. I have had a couple of people straighten my hair and I did like it, so I thought I'd get a flat iron for occasional use.
Yesterday I bought this flat iron at Canadian Tire because it was on sale 1/2 off at Canadian Tire (off all places). I used it last night and the results were not impressive. I didn't have much time so I just ended up putting my shoulder-lenght hair in a ponytail.
I tried again this morning and had better luck. My hair is silkier and smooth but still looks pretty thick in spots. I had to go over some spots several times.
I don't really have anything to compare this to, but after reading reviews I will likely take it back. Even at $40+taxes, I think I'll buy one of the top 10 flat irons listed on this sight.posted Aug 28, 2011Link to this post -
MadisonU.S.AHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairHorrible.This straightener is the worst. I got it for my birthday, in 7th grade, and it never did the job I wanted it to do. I am mixed, Half White- Half Black, and I have super curly, and thick hair. I just wanted straight hair like the other girls at my school. It didn't do that for me. It would curl up about an hour after I straightened it, and it never stayed through the night. I recommend not ever using bed head products. They are mostly crap, and never work.posted Jul 17, 2011Link to this post

AlexisHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairFantastic Straightener !Okay so I got this straightener for a birthday present in 5th grade and i am now in 8th grade ... I didn't start straightening my hair until about the end of 6th grade and I thought this hair straightener was fantastic ! If you are not used to sectioning of your hair than maybe you think it's bad .. But almost every morning i put half my hair in a ponytail , straighten the half down , straighten the rest of it together , and than do my bangs I usually go over it all again . I think this straightener works VERY well ! I always set the heat to 400 also . It doesn't give my hair a burned smell and my hair stays straight ! Unless I'm playing sports . When I play softball it gets frizzy , but I get sweaty so it's not the straighteners fault ! I have very wavy/curly hair that get tangly easily . But this straightener keeps it straight and not tangled ! I recommend it ( :posted Apr 29, 2011Link to this post

ShannonHairThick or Coarse Hair"a Ton Better Than My Last One!!!"Just got this straighner a few months ago. Awesome, It heats up fast and i only have to go through each section twice. My hair is thick so i use it on 4oo degrees. this leaves my hair feeling silky smooth and shiny. I never have to use any product before I straighten. it cools down fast which is great with having two small kids in the house.posted Apr 7, 2011Link to this post

JulieHairNormal HairNot So Great Straight.This hair straightner is completely OK. It takes a very long time to heat up and does not have a very good performance. Although it does straighten your hair, the wait time is not worth it. For those of you who like your hair pin straight, this hair straightner will certainly not do this. It is a cheaper alternative to a hair straightner but I feel a hair straightner is something you need to invest in. You get what you pay for.posted Apr 6, 2011Link to this post

AnnaHairBlondeNormal HairColor Treated HairPisssed !yesterday i just got this new straightener for christmas. its the TIGI bed head one. i am very angry at it. i took a shower & blow dried my hair like usual. then i turned on my straightener & waited like 4 minutes for it to heat up. then i used it & it felt like it was making my hair staticky & that it just wasnt doing the job. it pulls my hair & when i look in the mirror my hair looks poofy, and thats not what i want. usual when i straighten my hair it makes each part hot (which i dont mind) and this tells me that it is working. well this straightener doesnt make my hair hot at all! just maybe a tiny bit warm. i got this new straightener because i was tired of using my cheap 20 dollar target one, but now it seems that the cheap one works better. WHAT IS UP WITH THIS THING! DONT BUY IT YOU'LL REGRET IT LIKE I DO!posted Dec 26, 2010Link to this post

Rebecca M.United StatesHairLight BrownThick or Coarse HairLame...I got this straightener two years ago for Christmas and always thought it was just OK. It takes several minutes to properly heat up, and with my thick hair it could take nearly 45 minutes to get my whole head straight. It just doesn't have much power. Although I always loved the color and the way it lights up, I was frustrated when the light burned out several weeks ago. Lame! Then gradually I noticed the straightener was loosing it's strength. Finally, one day when I went to turn it on, it made an odd popping noise, buzzed for a few seconds, and died. Dead! I could not get it to go back on, I even tried plugging it into different outlets. I was extremely disappointed by this product because I am not even someone who religiously straightens her hair (I straighten 2-3 times a week), and I have only had it for two years! My friend has had the same straighten for about a year now, and when I told her about mine she said her light burned out recently as well. Now I am looking into getting a better straightener, possibly a Chi or a Remington. Overall, I would NOT recommend this straightener because it clearly has a short lifespan. I hope this review is helpful!posted Dec 16, 2010Link to this post

JennaPortland, ORHairMedium BrownNormal Hair"light Me Up", Love It!I got this straightener about 3 years ago and it just stopped working yesterday. It heated up pretty fast and definately got the job done! It got up to 400 degree's F, and i always used it on it's highest temp.. (my hair pretty much fried..) ha so i'd use it on like 350. I loved that it lit up, because i always left it on, and it reminded me to turn it off. It was a great flat iron, and i'd recommend it to anyone!posted Aug 22, 2010Link to this post
