Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was going to spend a LOT more money through HSN for a CHI flat iron with the same options as this Flat Iron and i was gonna pay 4 flex pays and each one would have cost almost as much as the total price of this item. I have VERY thick, coarse wavy hair... It is EXTREMELY resistant to any form of straightening... dry coarse texture... and ive always wanted long hair but couldnt have it without using a STRONG relaxer which destroyed my hair... left it in a suspended state of China Doll straight with NO other options... well i;ve been growing my hair out for many months.. I have had to fight it tooth and nail.. multiple salon hair cuts to tame it.. I use a LOT of straightening products and on occasion.. yuck.. strong chemical relaxers you need a gas mask and hazmat suit to use... switched to a chi smoothing relaxer.. smoothed but did NOT straighten hair.. Well i think i can TOSS a lot of that out now that i have my HSI. I put a lil of the Argan oil sample in my hair. Heated up the iron and gave it a go without overly high expectations. In 20 minutes i had my shiny, silky. and Pin straight!!! and no heat damage.. I was SHOCKED that this 40 dollar iron had all these options and worked so well I had to struggle so much with my hair before,but NO MORE!! The packaging is top notch as well.. and the storage bag is to die for. Also the Argan Oil is a MIRACLE serum... When i say miracle im not kidding.. God actually answered my years of praying for my hair to cooperate... its always been a love hate thing .. its SO much better than anything containing any type of silicone and i will be ordering a 4oz bottle of the HSI Argan Oil as a compliment for sure.. I currently use Chi Silk Serum.. while it is effective.. it does NOT come into the league of the HSI Argan Oil... it may be expensive for the oil but you get what you pay for... it doesn't take a lot.. I know my own hair texture and i can guarantee with the HSI iron it WILL close the cuticle.. make it soft.. shiny.. I haven't even used my Expensive Chi Hairspray.. dont seem to need it.. hair moves naturally and then back in place.. In the past i had to layer my hair in smoothing and holding products.. i've Never been happier with a hair tool and i've had MANY.. and i still just cant get over the price.... I'm a man but I've been in the company of a LOT of stylists and designers and h ave access to high end products.. but i hate always having to beg them to style my hair and then its gone once the nights over like Cinderella.. i pay much more for a cut and style at the salon than i paid for this Flat Iron. Also no more next day disappointment after the salon when i cant replicate what the stylist did ,, because with my HSI i CAN replicate it :) quite easily and quickly actually.. Also I color my hair EVERY 4-6 weeks... i colored my hair a week ago and i wasnt thrilled with it.. well the combination of this Iron and The Argan Oil my my level 4 chocolate brown color brilliant and luminous.. Also the plates are of high quality.. very sturdy.. smooth.. i can tell they are very hard and also they FLOAT.. this is an IMPORTANT feature ladies and Gents who consider their hair their crowning glory. Since they "float" and move with your hair and rotate.. the iron is very easy to use and versatile depending on what you want to do with it. Don't get me wrong i have an ENTIRE line of CHI products and already own one of their flat irons. Im a die hard Chi fan... but you really oughta give this bargain of an item a try. I will always love CHI but i am VERY interested to see what HSI begins to do with its product line... though i only needed the iron and the Argan oil and i REALLY like that the Oil is Natural... penetrates my hair.. unlike my other products which are mostly silicone based and layer up and sometimes actually seem to dry my hair. I knew the argon oil was superior the second i flattend the first section of hair. I saw some steam but it made no sound.. and and pulled iron straight through and unlike with my other iron with no floating plates i flipped under at the end of section all in one motion... The section was flawless.. no second or third run through. and shiny.. very shiny. Also my style has lasted a few days ;-)
