Love this straightener!, 03/20/2009
By KSRosebud, Lawrence, KS
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I have thick coarse hair with a natural wave and no shine. I've always wanted the shiny straight hair both of my sisters were lucky to be born with. I've been useing this straightener for two months and love it. My hair is smooth, straight & shiny! The first time I used it I tried the hottest setting, but it was too hot, now I keep it on medium so be aware that it does get very hot but it works great & I'll recommend it to anyone & everyone with coarse thick hair.

This iron flattens thick hair in a flash. The higher heat setting is a plus also the automatic shut-off. The color is nice. It does not snag or grab hear like others. I wish they made in a 2".

Bought this product about three weeks ago....stopped working a couple days ago. The iron will turn on but will not heat up at all. While it worked it worked great. I'm going to return the broken one and try it again.

ok but didn't work, 12/16/2008
By bibi246, Miami, FL
Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 3 out of 5

ok, i bought this thinking it would work for my curly hair but it didnt. It got really hot and yes it did straighten my hair to a certain extend i had to pass it like 6 times before it got completely str8. That was upsetting my old iron only takes 2 passes and it's str8. The plus is that it made my hair shiny so it looked healthy even thought its not, but i'd rather get my money back and try another product. In my opinion, if you think it is going to work for you give it a try, everyone's hair is different so you can never know until you try =)

Excellent product, 11/16/2008
By SACGIRL, Sacramento, CA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This flat iron was well worth the mony. We had a Colorful Seasons flat iron that cost $129.00. This flat iron works better than the expensive one. My daughter has course hair and it flattens out quickly. If you don't have course hair you should probably go with the other irons. I highly recommend this flat iron because I was also pleasantly surprised.

my daughter has very coarse,thick hair and because its so thick it has a wave instead of curls so i bought this product to soften, smooth, and straighten her hair. this product was wonderful! i use the lowest setting and it does exactly what i'm looking for it to do. this is a very nice item for someone who had very thick and coarse hair.

Quality product/low-priced, 09/17/2008
By precious08
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I was looking for a quality low-priced flat iron. This is well worth the money. This flat iron works really well.
No one would think that it only cost $25 from using it, and it really does work for coarse hair.
I have really thick hair and it works almost as good as the babyliss series flat iron my stylist uses. My stylist's flat iron just gets a little bit hotter. It also produces body, reduces frizz, and does not dry hair out.

I am happy with this product. It heats up fast, but at times it pulls my hair. However, overall it does its job and works fine. A reasonable price for the product.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I have VERY thick hair and this product is amazing! I have tried everything to get my hair to lay flat including countless styling products. I bought this and my hair is so smooth and totally frizzless. I would definitely recommend this product and am now hoping to buy the whole line for coarse hair.

Totally EXCEEDED my expectations., 07/30/2008
By peenK, Virginia Beach, VA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This flat iron IS available in some stores. After glancing at all the boxes for almost 10 minutes, i settled on this one largely based on the claim that its designed specifically for "course hair". I washed, conditioned, blow dried and greased my hair. i plugged it in, and waited 60 seconds. Then i started. As my hair is really coarse, and i have some horrible new growth (well i did last night) i started off with the temperature dial half way between medium and high. That was too hot - but i went there as thats what i used on my last flatiron (conair). So i dropped it to medium and kept going. I noticed that i could get it really close to my scalp, and it completely smoothed out my new growth. I also noticed that it still seemed a little too hot...well by the time i got used to it, i was a little closer to "low" than medium. It was really easy and comfortable to use. Glides right thru your hair, whether or not you use a styling spray (oil sheen for me).

Overall i was thoroughly shocked and impressed with this product. thinking i may be getting what i paid for, and that i would be returning it today. I LOVE this new flat iron, and i'm so glad i didnt end up spending 4 or 5 times this amount on some infomercial iron!

Okay so I was pretty excited to get this hair straightener but was kinda let down the first time i used it its by far not the one ill be keeping for a long time i will be getting a new one @ christmas but it will do for now if you take it and divide your hair into sections it does a good job but not if you just run it through your hair! i have VERY thin hair and got the coarse hair one thinking it would work better so if you have real thick hair DONT buy this straightener! if its thin like mine and you dont mind a little more time on your hair then it is a good one just not GREAT like im looking for! it does do the job dont get me wrong just not the one i want its good for the $

I have very thick hair,very. And it tends to get a little frizzy but this helps it a lot. It doesn't cost as much as some of these things can either. Very nice product!! I like that it has an auto shut off too!! I do tend to forget to turn things off sometimes...
