The BEST Flat Iron I've Ever Owned! It's Worth It to Spend the Extra Money!

The BEST Flat Iron I've Ever Owned! It's Worth It to Spend the Extra Money!
I've always loved to straighten my hair. Even though it's fun to try different styles like beach waves and spiral curls, straightening my hair is the one style that always looks classy and I can straighten my whole head of hair within about 10 minutes. Later this past summer, I needed to replace my old straightener when it wasn't working well anymore. Usually I purchase flat irons with two-inch plates because it straightens my hair quickly but I'd noticed many flat irons are one-inch plates. I did a lot of searching, both in stores and on here. I was actually going to purchase one that was half the price of this one but, after much consideration, I decided to splurge and pay more money for a higher-quality flat iron. It turns out spending more money on something really is worth it!The HSI Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron is a one-inch ceramic flat iron. The ionic ceramic tourmaline-coated plates help eliminate frizz, are very smooth and feel very durable. The plates are also reflexive and they have the ability to slightly turn so you can be more flexible with your hair styles and do some flips and curls. The plates measure 3 1/2 inches long by 1 inch wide. The entire flat iron measures 10 1/2 inches long, has a 360-degree swivel cord so you can move all over the place and not have to worry about the straightener getting tangled, and the cord itself measures about 93 inches long (almost 8 feet). There is a 6-inch long piece of velcro so you can secure the cord when it's wrapped up. The flat iron has an on/off switch and an indicator where the light is red when the flat iron is heating up and it turns green when it's ready to use. It has a temperature control dial that ranges from 140 degrees to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and a dual voltage of 110/220 volts so you can use it overseas. The instructions say the voltage switches automatically and you'll still need an adapter for the plug (when you're overseas). This flat iron is made in China and comes in a box along with a nice storage bag, a glove to protect your hand from the high heat, a 5 mL bottle of argan oil hair treatment, instructions, and a style guide for different hair styles (some different tools may be required). It comes with a one-year warranty certificate.Suggested heat temperatures are as follows:- low heat (140 degrees to 275 degrees Fahrenheit) - use with very fine, fragile, or damaged hair- medium heat (275 degrees to 350 degrees Fahrenheit) - use with normal hair- high heat (350 degrees to 450 degrees Fahrenheit) - use with curly, wavy, or thick hair***If you are unsure of which temperature to use, always start with a lower temperature and increase as needed.I've had this flat iron now for about 3 1/2 months and I love it! Out of the many flat irons I've owned over the years, it's my favorite one and well-worth the extra money to get a high-quality product. I have long, medium-thick naturally-wavy blonde hair and I'm able to straighten my hair in about 10 minutes. I love that this flat iron heats up quickly which is nice when I'm feeling a bit rushed. I typically choose a temperature that's about 350 degrees and within 30 seconds, this flat iron is ready to use. You'll have to be very careful since the plates get VERY hot. Once I'm done straightening my hair, I turn it off and it's fully cooled down within about 10 to 15 minutes which is great for safety reasons and in case you have to pack it up quickly. I love that this flat iron is very easy to use. I have small hands and it's easy and fairly comfortable to hold.Perhaps the only thing that is difficult to judge is the temperature setting. The only temperatures shown are 140 degrees and 450 degrees and you turn the dial hotter or cooler, as needed, so you don't know for sure what temperature you are using but, once I started using it, I was able to guess the temperature I was using.I've mostly used this flat iron for straightening and it works great! My hair is smooth, with no frizz or flyaways, and I love the way it looks. I tried to &quot;flip and curl&quot; my hair as well but I need some work on that. I've had a number of flat irons over the years and this one is by far my favorite. It is considered a professional salon model and it really looks like a high-quality product. It's durable, easy to use, and gives me beautifully-straightened hair. As with all of my reviews, particularly the ones for electronics, appliances, and higher-priced items, I will provide any updates and change my star-rating as needed if my views on the product change. So far, I'm very happy with this flat iron and am so glad I spent the extra money to get a higher-quality product that will hopefully last me a long time. If you are considering purchasing this flat iron, DO IT! Your hair will look amazing!

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012
Recently my CHI hair straightener decided to sort of "break" on me. The last time I tried to use it I noticed that it was barely heating up when I set it on its highest setting. I've had it for a few years so it wasn't too surprising that it was about time for a new one.

I spent maybe $80-$90 on my last CHI, so I expected to spend that much on another one. I looked for a CHI but the ones I found were too expensive for my tastes... upwards of $100. I was about to fold when I found this HSI straightener.

The price was totally right and the reviews seemed spot on. I was really hesitant because you get what you pay for right? But I figured since it was so cheap I'd give it a go, better than spending $100 or more I didn't really want to spend on a hair straightener.

The HSI came super fast (thank you 1-day shipping Amazon!) and I opened it up. Came with a nice silky case, a glove... thing, some solution for hair, instructions etc etc. I could care less about the glove and hair solution, and I would for the case too but I think I'll actually use it to keep dust and whatever else from getting on the straightener when I'm not using it.

Next day I tested it out. Used it just like my CHI, put the heat all the way up. It worked like a dream!! Also, I used my CHI to make some nice curls and flips and things, but I found it hard sometimes because if I didn't do it just right I'd get those very noticeable and awkward "grooves" in the hair. I found it much easier to do this "curling" with the HSI. Also, I found it much easier to handle than my CHI, which was very bulky and slightly awkward to handle, and somewhat heavy. The HSI is much easier to move between my hands to get at each side of my hair.

So I styled my hair, great. Didn't take too long, replicated the effects I got from my CHI. Awesome! I experimented a bit with my hair, and I expected the curls to go away overnight because even after getting beautiful curls on the highest heat with my CHI, the nice wavy hair I'd get would never last more than a day (it'd revert to very flat mostly straight hair). To my surprise when I woke up and looked in the mirror my beautiful curls and waves STAYED!! This was NEVER the case with my CHI, I'd always have to do the process over again to get my hair just the way I liked it.

Needless to say I'm EXTREMELY happy with the HSI hair straightener. WAY better value than my CHI, at the time of this review its about $40, which beats that $80 I had to pay for my CHI. Its much better to wield, heats up VERY QUICKLY and gives me curls and wavy hair that STAY OVERNIGHT (I'm pretty ecstatic about this because I didn't think it possible for my curls to stay previously when using my CHI).

The HSI is so cheap right now I may even buy another just as a back up and also if the price goes up. I'm sure this is the best hair straightener that I've EVER owned, miles ahead of CHI!! Take it from me you won't be disappointed!!
