Not in love, but it is a really good product. Like a few other reviews have mentioned, you can feel the heat of the flat iron on the outside (mainly because of the ceramic model) which is good if you curl your hair with it (which I do on occasion). I have naturally straight, medium-thick hair but I flat iron my hair because my hair curves upward at the bottom and I love my hair to be pin straight. That being said I don't need a high tech flat iron, since my hair only takes 5-10 minutes to satisfy my desired look. I love this is for Breast Cancer Awareness. The pink packaging is great as well. The on/off button broke off for me but it isn't a problem because I can simply unplug the flat iron when I'm done. I got this last Xmas so I'm not sure how much this cost but I'm sure it isn't over $30. I don't think I'd repurchase, but it isn't a bad product.

I love it. Heats up fast. Only complaint I have is: its pretty warm to my hand when styling my hair. I have thick and coarse, wavy hair. It really straightened my hair easy. Very cute looking, too. I would reccomend it.

I bought the support breast cancer version of this, and I absolutely love it! I have really thick, coarse, naturally wavy hair, and have gone through 3 chi's and decided I wasn't going to waste another 100 odd dollars on another chi. Honestly I only bought this one bc it was cheap, and it was pink and grey and I thought it was cute, lol, but as it turns out this works better than any of my chi's did!!! I turn it all the way up on high, and it leaves my hair pin straight, shiny, but not fried (like the chi's did). I love mine, and about to go buy a backup one, for when I finally drop mine one too many times!

It's not the best flat iron out there, but I hardly flat iron my hair enough to spend the $$$. Frustration with old ones, was that they never lasted or worked well. This wouldn't be my first pick, because I'm sure something better exists. BUT, I've had it for years. I've dropped it a million times, and it still works. Where as... conair sucked with durability. Low heat settings are a bit of a bust, but at 15 to 25, it's great. I recommend a heat protection spray and serum, since it doesn't bring the glossy shine that so many, desire. Mine is black, has a dial, and looks nothing like the picture.

I'm still going to use it, but I just bought a Remington that's wet 2 straight.

My hair is not that frizzy, but even so, I have to run the straightener through a couple times for it to be straight. However, after about an hour or so, it gets poofy. It's still straight-ish, but it has a lot of volume... which it shouldn't. The hair straightener heats up quickly, but on the other hand, it heats up so fast and gets so hot that it burns my hands! I'm quite sure that that's not what it is supposed to do. There also isn't a grip on the handle to hold, which also adds on to the hand-burning.
What I like about this is that you can manually adjust the temperature from 0-25 degrees Celsius.

Overall, 2 out of 5 stars!

Not bad for the price, but definitely not the best quality. It doesn't get my hair completely straight, but it works well enough.

I have thick hair. Even after getting it really thinned out, I have to go over each section at least 7 to 8 times. Not worth the time. It also makes my hair really dull looking.

AWFUL FLAT IRON! Does not get hot enough so I had to go over each section almost 5 times to get it straight! Then when I stepped outside and put my hair behind my ear, it did not stay straight! Even though it's only $25 don't get sucked in and ourchase it, this iron is terrible!

I didn't like this flat iron too much. I bought the ceramic one with the temp control. It served it's purpose and straightened my hair pretty well. The only problem I had with it was durability. It is not made to last. I went through three in a year. The first one just stopped heating all of the sudden. The second and third ones, the ceramic started chipping away to reveal the harsh metal after about 3 months. They are not made to stand up to daily use. I invested in a chi and I have never looked back. I bought my chi 4yrs. ago and it still looks like I just took it out of the box.

Horrible. I used this once and returned it the very next day. I formally owned the Vidal Sasson model and thought I would try something new, I'm sorry I did. I have since tried the conair one and although I love the sleek red color, I'm afraid this is going back too. It looks like vidal is the winner, until I'm willing to drop 150 on the chi model. Someday ...

This was my third flat iron I bought. I bought a Vidal Sassoon one, then a Chi, then this one. I was hoping it would be somewhere in between the first two (the Chi burned my hair, and the Vidal Sassoon had a larger plate size and didn't work very well on my new short hair cut). I think the revlon was a good "practice" iron because I learned how to handle the iron to get the results I wanted. but the effects were not long lasting unless I used a lot of hair spray, and there were certain waves it couldn't handle. I guess in restrospect it was ok. I just bought the 1" Solia though so I'm sticking with that one. I guess when it comes to flat irons you need to splurge.

i have to say, this stuff is not the best. it's going to have to go back to the store. It does help a little, it makes my hair more manageable and tames some frizz. but it just doesn't get the work done. whenever i use it it makes the top part smooth, but then gives my hair a HUGE dent in the middle. no matter how much i try to straighten it out it stays the same. that never happens with other straighteners that i've used so i think that this specific straightener made that dent on it's own. ...creepy...

This is going right back to store I hate to say. I recently got a new hair cut, and a flat iron is essential, thinking i could just buy a cheap one and do the trick, I was wrong. This iron heated up quicky, but the flat iron performance wasnt all that great. hard to handle, and my hair got the flat look, but not the sily, shiny, look I wanted. Just an odd pin straight ironed look, that I was hoping to avoid. Maybe I am not using it right, I didnt think it had to be that complicated. Looks like I am going to have to shell out some money, and buy the ones MUAers suggest - Chi or Maxi glide.
