HOT TOOLS Professional Ceramic 3 inch Flat Iron (Model: 1179) Review

HOT TOOLS Professional Ceramic 3 inch Flat Iron (Model: 1179)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this item from a local beauty supply store. I had several problems w/ the flat iron. First, my hair is fairly long, and when I would slide the hair along the plate, hairs would get caught between the plate and the plastic that held the plate, breaking the hairs. It didn't matter how big or small the section of hair was, some would get caught.
Second, the iron completely stopped working after about six months. It was if the "on" switch stopped working. Setting the appliance to "on" didn't cause the power light to come on, and the appliance didn't heat up. I sent the appliance back to Helen of Troy, only for them to tell me they didn't have a replacement model in stock, and they couldn't tell me when they *would* have on in stock. They didn't tell me this until 4 weeks after I sent them the item for replacement.
Long story short, save your money, buy a different appliance!

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.

Conair Wet-Dry Straightener, 1 Inch Review

I am *terrible* when it comes to styling my own hair, which is why I usually wear it up. I look forward to getting my hair done professionally, so I can wear it down and have it actually look good! My best friend is the same way, so when she told me she had bought a wet/dry straightening iron and it had made her hair look incredible, I had to run and get one! I bought this model and couldn't believe the results! It was like I had gone to the salon! And unlike my "regular" straightening iron, this one didn't leave my hair frizzy. I LOVE this thing! Now I can't live without it!

Remington S2044 Damage Therapy Ceramic Hair Straightener with Teflon Fiber Plates Review

Remington S2044 Damage Therapy Ceramic Hair Straightener with Teflon Fiber Plates
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I consider myself to be a hair product junkie and expert.You name it i probably know about, have it, or tried it. I have used a Solia Flat Iron for 5 years. She still kicks but not quite like she use to. I can't pin point it. It still gets hot but maybe not as even. Anyway I decided to try some cheaper iron just until I could splurge on another solia or comparable iron. I found this at target. The whole teflon thing made sense to me. Anyone who cooks knows the joy of a non-stick surface. IN theory hair gliding with less friction/strain would have less breakage. My first time using it. I started at around 1/2 way on the heat dial and I realized how crazy hot it was so i turned it down. Mostly out of fear my smoke alarm might go off. First Pass and I was like you have to be kidding me! ?! I am african american and my hair was in dire need of a relaxer and a deep condition. It was dry dry...that one pass left my hair sooo soft and shiny. I had some kind of shock. Then I asked myself how much i paid for this thing?? seriously?! Just get one. It's equal to any of those expensive irons minus the damage. Also, I can leave this iron at a 5 and my hair is pin straight... it smokes/steams a lot. Doesn't leave a smell or fried feeling. I think the iron reacts to left over conditioner and products in the hair and causes the smoke on the plates. I would be scared to put this thing on high. I have no idea how anyone could say it doesn't get hot enough?! Are you trying to burn your hair off? Is it plugged in? Did you let it heat up for a few minutes? There is no reason anyone should need to put 410 degrees on their hair and then to say it didn't get hot enough...
**Update-I think they are selling a different model these days...mine does not look like the one pictured. I will see if I can get the updated product and review that one as well.** Oh and I recently tried my old one after using the Sedu for awhile. When I get the updated model I will edit this review further to include my comparison to the Sedu :)**

Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener with Straightening Comb, Red, 2 Inch Review

Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener with Straightening Comb, Red, 2 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have the most unruly combination of wavy and straight hair. And, yes, I have that embarrassing crease near the crown of my head, too. I have tried every product under the sun, including flattening irons, water-heated steamers and curling irons, to give it that smooth straight softness you see in the magazines but nothing seemed to ever totally work. Before buying this straightener, I was using a combination of comb-brush-type dryers and thick curling irons to tame my thick head of hair. What a battle!
But, now my suffering is over. What I love about this straightener is that it works almost as a brush, dryer and straightener in one. The other reviewer commented that the pins hurt her head. I consider those pins to be a brush, besides; you almost have to have pins so the steam can penetrate all of the strands of hair. I can handle it and my head of hair is usually full of tangles. What I do is blow dry my hair until it's almost completely dry, brush my hair really well, work the straightener through my hair, and BAM - perfectly straight smooth hair. My only complaint is that I wish I would have discovered this straightener a long time ago...
Update 1/15/08:
After accidentally breaking this one, I couldn't wait to purchase another one. Upon opening my new Conair straightener, I was saddened to find they have remade the original design and have now removed the two sets of straightening pins. Darn! While I still find this straightener great, I don't find it quite as effective without the two rows of pins to really permeate my hair...

Jose Eber Wet or Dry Straightening Iron, Black Review

Jose Eber Wet or Dry Straightening Iron, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There is no need to pay the $300 (or whatever price you can negotiate for this) at the Jose Eber Kiosk in the malls. They use high pressure sales tactics telling you that Amazon and other companies who sell this are most likely selling refurbished or second hand products. If you do your homework you will find that companies such as Dead Sea who sells on Amazon are authorized distributors of the products. If you buy from the Jose Eber Kiosk you WILL get the EXACT same product for 7 times the price you should have paid. They do offer a lifetime warranty but keep in mind you would have to break your flat iron 7 times to make up the difference in price. Make sure to tell anyone you know looking for a flat iron NOT to buy this iron from the kiosk.
Okay, so onto to review the actual iron. My hair is coarse and naturally curly but not in a neat way that makes it easy to wear curly hair, so I like to straighten it. Typically I use the Chi, which works the best on my hair and I also like the Babyliss line. Both of these flat irons are a bit pricey but work and not all flat irons work. Here are the highlights of the Jose Eber iron:
It leaves my hair very shiny sleek and smooth looking
It doesn't break off my hair like the Chi tends to do
The comb that comes with it is amazing...and maybe why I like the iron (haven't tried the comb with the Chi)
The wet to dry works but it makes my hair poker straight with no body at all so I never use. I blow dry to add volume but have used it on damp hair. Also with the wet to dry feature, it takes a lot longer than blow drying as the wetter your hair the more times you have to pull the iron through it to get it dry. My hair is thick and this was a long process and I didn't like the results.
The curling part is difficult to get the hang of but works if you can figure it out (I can't consistently do it). Again, the comb is the key here as the comb grips the hair tightly and the flat iron doesn't have a tight grip on the hair. This is something that is easier to do on someone else than to do on yourself.
All and all I am very happy with the flat iron and super happy with the comb. The comb is not high quality material so I am concerned about how long it will hold up and I think it is a staple to liking this flat iron. I was one of the unfortunate people who got pressured into buying this at a mall Kiosk and have told all my friends to buy it from Amazon. Those who have all had great experiences and received the exact same BRAND NEW flat iron that I paid 7 times as much for.

Remington Wet 2 Straight Slim Plate Wet/Dry Straightening Iron Review

Average Reviews:

I have very dry, thick, curly hair and a lot of volume too. Every few months I have to relax my curl in order to keep it under control. I also live in the tropics where heat and a lot of humidity don't exactly help my hair remain frizz free. I was very skeptical when I first bought this product because I had tried many hair straighteners and all had given me poor results. Thank goodness that I was finally proven wrong! This product definitely does what it says it will do and is very affordable in comparison to other products on the market. I flatten my hair after I blow dry it and I have finally been able to tame my wild hair into soft, smooth, silky, straight hair. I have been getting plently of compliments but most importantly, I feel happy with my hair! I have recommended this product to friends and family and they have also acheived wonderful results. I recommend that you buy a deep conditioning treatment (Redken Heavy Cream) and leave it in your for 15 minutes with a self warming cap, rinse out and apply a heat protectant on your hair (Redken Heat Glide) before the process. Your hair will be fabulous!

Remington S-9400 Tstudio Collection Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Tourmaline 2 1/4" Wide Plates Review

Remington S-9400 Tstudio Collection Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Tourmaline 2 1/4 Wide Plates
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
OK, here's what you do....buy the CONAIR INFINITI Tourmaline straightening hair dryer (it's WONDERFUL), buy the Remington T3 Tourmaline flat iron and buy some Chi Silk Fusion or Biosilk. Wet to silky straight takes about 25 minutes total if you follow this advice. After showering, towel dry hair, and put the silk drops on your ends (don't use too much---this will take a few tries). Also spray your wet hair with a heat protecting flat iron spray for good measure. Use the hair dryer exactly as intended (it's not hard at all- I don't get the neg reviews). If you have shoulder-length or longer hair, it's easiest to put your hair in two ponytails (one behind each ear) and dry the ponytails first using this dryer. Then take them out and dry the rest of your hair with the dryer. Only takes about 10-15 minutes this way (and I have VERY thick curly hair).
Use the Remington T3 Tourmaline flatiron on 410 degrees (don't pull it through too slowly---that's very hot). Then when finished, spray a glossing spray on your dry hair and rub it down. FINISHED and your hair will be BEAUTIFUL!! I've gotten soooooo many compliments on my hair since I bought these two pieces of equipment and started straightening this way. I have been SEARCHING for 20 years for an effective way to straighten that doesn't take forever or prevent me from having my morning shower. THIS IS IT PEOPLE. TRY IT!
I did not really believe the reviews on here that this flatiron is better than the 100 dollar ones but, oh my goodness, THIS IS THE BEST FLATIRON I have ever owned. I will never pay for a Chi or Solia again after using this one. It will straighten anything FAST. Unbelievable, I tell you!
