Conair CS66 ProShine Straightener, Purple Review

Conair CS66 ProShine Straightener, Purple
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this straightener, brought it home, tried it and hated it immediately. It took multiple swipes down each small section of hair to get it straight and it still wasn't very smooth. Not at all what I was hoping for. The rubber or silicone strip that runs down the side of one of the plates grips your hair making it hard to slide it through your hair smoothly. The only part of the straightener that I liked was the packaging. It was so easy to put it back in the box after I decided it was going back.

This brush is so awesome, I actually wrote a blog about it. I didn't realize there was such a difference in brushes! I almost didn't have to use my hair straightener when I was done blow drying with this brush!!! I'm definitely a fan of the tourmaline ionic action and the ceramic barrel.

Remington Wet2Straight Compact Folding Straightener - S8900 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
All in all, we really like this flat iron. I have the larger one, and love it. So I bought this one to take on a trip. I gave it 4 stars, because it doesn't work quite as well as the larger one, but it is great to save space when you are packing. Having a flatiron that can be used on wet hair is great, because I have a teenager and preteen in the house. Gets everyone in and out of the bathroom sooner.

Revlon RVST2024C Perfect Heat Ceramic "IT" Straightener with Curved Deal Edge Review

Revlon RVST2024C Perfect Heat Ceramic IT Straightener with Curved Deal Edge
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read that ceramic is the better kind so I bought this one. It was horrible. Where the plate is connected to the handle, kept on snagging my hair. It pulled out a lot of hair. Also, since they are "floating" plates it doesn't press down on the hair. So it didn't straighten my hair at all. And I just have a slight wave to my hair, so there is no reason for it to not work. It would just fall off of the hair unless I grabbed a huge chunk of hair (which was too much hair in it so it wouldn't straighten it still).

Mizani True Textures Moisture Stretch Curl Extending Cream, 8 oz Review

Mizani True Textures Moisture Stretch Curl Extending Cream, 8 oz
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I will give them credit: Mizani is the master of marketing to the black consumer and back end salon. They did a few things right with the marketing and conceptualization of this product: Mizani acknowledges wisely that all black women do not have the same curly/kinky pattern and that products need to be tailored to each woman's specific curl pattern. That is where so many other products aimed at black women fail---Miss Jessie's (certain products)and Kinky Curly to name two---they advertise with black women who have loose, springy curl patterns, not the dry type 4a/4b/4c hair that is most prevalent among dark-skinned black women. This hair is not ringlet coils, but spongy, tightly drawn, often coarse hair, that shrinks and hugs the scalp when wet. Mizani's product promises to tackle and curl this type of hair.
While Mizani did not create this numerical classification system for black hair (Oprah's stylest Andre deserves that kudo), Mizani does a great job of explaining the different numerical types (1,2, 3 and 4)and what products or hair styles they will most likely need. This product, sadly, though aimed at Type 4s, does not deliver on its marketing promises.
Follow the instructions 100 times written on its package---I did---and you will never get the stretched, bouncy, elongated curls most women are hoping to see, based upon the ads. As a twisting, coiling or other styling agent for Type 4 hair, Mizani True Textures falls flat as well. The product simply has too much water in it. While it will give you a pattern if you go under a hooded dryer, wash and air dry results are weak. The high moisture content in the product creates shrinkage. Whether dried by air or dryer, don't expect any curl pattern you're lucky enough to get to actually last: at the first sign of humidity in the air, water seeks water and your hair after using this product is back to puff and frizz. It was most disappointing. It's as if Mizani "got" the market leader's Miss Jessie's complaints from consumers: dryness, intense fragrance and greasiness and tried to address them: Mizani's curl product is unscented, light and it does soften without beeswax. Yet the net result is that Mizani's True Textures lacks the shine of Miss Jessie's products and definitely their staying power for holding twist and curl patterns.
Mizani is essentially a company with products for straightened or relaxed hair; the new True Textures product is no exception. Their hearts are in the right place on differentiating black curling styles---but more science is needed to produce an outcome that delivers on the promise of wash-and-wear hair for Type 4s.
If you can not go with Miss Jessie or Kinky Curly, try another old fashioned product Amazon sells: Pantene Setting Lotion Spray for Relaxed and Natural hair. Smells good, moisturizes, packs shine and works great if you set by air or dryer---and you will save $30-60 bucks. Its creme moisturizer softens and adds shine. Set with that and a spray of water at night. At about $4 a bottle for each Pantene product, it's natural hair Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural For Women of Color Daily Oil Cream Moisturizer, 8.7-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4)styling that works and saves.

This was my first time ordering something from amazon and i chose to buy this flatiron. First of all you think your getting a deal on this but your not because the shipping and handling cost more than the thing your purchasing, and the picture is very misleading. It seems as though the company does not ship purple flatirons they can only send you the pink ones. I am already displeased with this product to the point where i don't even want to use it in my hair.

Le Angelique CareTin Straightener - Curler Titanium Ionic Flat Iron. Review

Le Angelique CareTin Straightener - Curler Titanium Ionic Flat Iron.

There was fancy packaging. The iron has a cool design but the quality of it feels cheap and flimsy like the button used to turn it off and on. The plastic just feels frail including the heat dial. Being this expensive you might as well buy a Chi or better known brand. Regardless, it does what it needs to do and heats up at a reasonable time.

I was so excited to receive my irons but within two weeks, the on light wouldn't turn on and there was no heat! I guess that is what you get when buying the cheap one on line instead of buying thru the distributor! Not only that but the strength of the barrel to retain the hair in the iron is very WEAK on the other iron.

I have had Chi and FHI flat irons and this one tops them all. I am African American with very thick hair and this iron leaves my hair silky and shiny! It looks like I went to the salon and the size is perfect for my new short cut. Also, what I love most is my hair does not frizz and I don't get that burnt hair smell. My hair looks healthy and shiny (I do use heat protectant) and I don't even have to use it every day, the curls last a long time. Highly recommend this brand, wish I would have bought sooner.

Pure Heat G-0147 Earthstik Flat Iron Eco-Friendly Pure-Ion Ceramic Styler, 1" Review

Pure Heat G-0147 Earthstik Flat Iron Eco-Friendly Pure-Ion Ceramic Styler, 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I normally do not go out of my way to do my hair until recently. I have naturally straight hair but I just cut about 8 inches off and have somewhat of a bob that is longer in the front. It looks awesome but will all the hair i have it can look rather puffy and childish if i do not calm it down. So i had to suck it up and get a straightener. It is important to me that all the products i use have the least amount of impact on the planet. The fact that the product itself is made out of recycled plastic and the packaging is made from recycled cardboard and is recyclable. All pluses in my book. I also wanted the straightener to straighten my hair without line or bumps or snagging my hair.
I totally lucked out. It made my hair look just like my stylist does, its eco-friendly and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. This is a wonderful product. Please give it a try.

This product is AMAZING! I have never written a review for Amazon -- that is, until after I used this product. It is amazing--can't say it enough. I used it for the first time today. I have coarse, unruly, thick wavy shoulder-length hair. This is the BEST hair straightener I have come across -- and believe me, I have spent money on them. It is easy to use, leaves your hair silky smooth after just one pass through, does not give you that grainy sound while the plates are moving through your hair strands, and even allows you to create controlled waves. It really does eliminate frizz. For all you curly-haired girls out there who enjoy a good blow-out every now and then but don't have the time or energy to use a hairdryer and a rollerbrush -- this one is for you!

Remington S9520 Salon Collection Ceramic Hair Straightener with Pearl Infused Wide Plates, 2 Inch Review

Remington S9520 Salon Collection Ceramic Hair Straightener with Pearl Infused Wide Plates, 2 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am a beauty junkie. I am not ashamed to admit to having the new MAC line release dates on my calendar and a dresser full of beauty tools. I have gone through dozens of flat irons, from $15 irons to $200 irons. From 1/2" irons to super wide irons. There is a distinct difference between a cheap iron and a pricey one, so I got this, I expected the type of iron that I have always gotten from $40 irons.
I was pleasantly surprised with the Remington Pearl Ceramic Ultimate Straightener. The pearl sounds gimmicky to me, but whatever Remington did with this styler works.
For the record, I have very fine, very long, very damaged hair (from dyeing) that is naturally wavy. My usual problem with straighteners is that my hair tends to get tangled up and snags get flattened in the iron. I also have a very difficult time getting my hair to hold a straight style. I have very stubborn fly-aways.
First things first, the straightener comes in pretty gray and pink packaging and is a lovely black and pink color. The tool itself feels sturdy and well made. It doesn't have the cheap plastic feel that many low-end irons have. It has three pink buttons placed on the side of the handle. These three buttons manage the power, the temperature, a temperature lock feature and turbo. The ceramic plates "float" meaning that they adjust independently from the handles of the iron to the changes in the thickness and location of your hair running through the iron.
Pros:
- The hair moves smoothly and quickly through the iron, no snags or pulls. Hair is smooth and frizz free.
- My hair quickly straightened and held the shape.
- When using the straightener to curl my hair, my hair held shape and the straightener created the most lovely natural looking waves.
- The iron heats up quickly and allows for subtle variances in temperature.
- The buttons need a firm push and are well placed so that there is no accidental button pushing.
- A swivel cord allows for easy movement all around the head.
Cons:
- The digital display is only viewable from certain angles - viewed from some angles the display shows as on but can't be read.
- The handle behind the ceramic plates get HOT. It was difficult to twirl the iron for curls without touching the heat.
- The handle lock is a little stiff but it works well.
The Remington Pearl works every bit as good as my high end irons. It curls or straightens hair easily and smoothly and is easy to use with its clean, straight forward design. I get smooth, natural looking waves or pin-straight hair with very little work, even when my hair is at its driest. I can even manage to look like I have healthy, shiny hair using this! This will absolutely be my new go-to iron for curls and straightening alike. I just wish I had discovered it before I spent $200 on those other irons.

Combining advanced technology, high-performance ceramic coating, and real crushed pearls, the Remington T|Studio Pearl Ceramic 2-Inch Straightener delivers professional, salon-quality results with each use. It quickly reaches a top heat of 450 degrees Fahrenheit and has precise digital controls with temperature lock so you can enjoy smooth, silky hair in just minutes.
Remington's Pearl CollectionFeaturing straighteners, styling wands, and hair dryers, Remington's luxurious Pearl collection harnesses the precious power of pearl and Advanced Ceramic technology to create hair you can't help but touch.
Ceramic: The Hair Straightener EssentialIf you want to achieve salon-quality hair straightening from your own home, meet the Pearl Straightener. Ceramic has become the big buzz word in hair straightening--that's because ceramic improves heat distribution and helps the selected temperature remain even throughout the entire plate, so there are no hot spots.
Ceramic also creates an effortless glide with no snagging, flattening your hair cuticles for silky-smooth results. Plus, it ensures long-life plate wear, protecting the plates against styling products and scratching.
About Advanced Ceramic with Real PearlWhen it comes to ceramic straighteners, the bottom line is the more ceramic, the better. Standard ceramic hair straighteners are made with a single-layer sol-gel based ceramic coating with 70 to 80 percent ceramic content.
The Pearl Straightener features a dual-layer ceramic coating, which effectively doubles the amount of that all-important ceramic content and significantly improves the straightener's performance.
Tests have found that Advanced Ceramic with real pearl outperforms standard ceramic in many capacities. For one, it has 15 times more ceramic than other standard ceramic models, providing a high, even heat. It's also five times smoother than standard models, meaning the plates move through the hair more easily with less snagging. And because it's 85-percent harder and eight times more durable than standard models, it's more scratch-proof and lasts longer, so you can look forward to long-term use.
Fast to Heat Up and Slow to Lose HeatIdeal for those on-the-go mornings, the Pearl Straightener is ready to use 15 seconds after switch-on. Throughout styling, it maintains a near-constant temperature and keeps heat loss to a minimum, thanks to its optimized electronics. It also helps you stay in control with precise temperature controls, an easy-to-read digital display, and temperature lock.
Selecting the heat level that's right for you is simple: just use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the temperature, then secure it with the temperature control lock.
Long, Wide Plates for Silky StrokesEvery component of the Pearl Straightener's plates makes it effortless to use. Their generous length and width means you can style more of your hair in one stroke, while their slim frame fits neatly in your hand without feeling bulky.
Safe, Easy Use with Auto Shut-off FunctionIf you've ever left the house and worried that you forgot to switch off your straightener, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The Pearl Straightener's auto shut-off function takes effect after 60 minutes. And when you've finished styling, it's easy to store away with its handy hinge-lock. For maneuverability, it boasts a long swivel cord.
This straightener also features worldwide voltage, so there's no need to skimp on your style routine, whether you're at home or abroad.
The Pearl Straightener is backed by a four-year warranty.
Remington has been helping the world get ready for over 70 years. Experts in innovation, they offer cutting-edge technology and work with top salon professionals from all over the world to produce hair styling products that really work. Remington's mission is to help you look good and feel like you're ready for anything, so you can look in the mirror and say, "Okay, world, here I come."

I love this curler, it keeps the curl for 12 hours. I needed the glove for the first couple of times. But now its really easy. No need for hair products to keep the curl in, it stays even if you brush it out. you just twirl it around your finger and it will curl right up again. I got the 19mm it works great!!~ I got mine at the mall but i wish i had ordered it on here, i paid like 95.00 for mine.
