Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The only reasons I bought this flat iron was because the price was right - only $44.23 and the reviews were great. For $44 I thought it would be worth the risk of not knowing the manufacturer to go ahead and get this since it is a professional flat iron. I had been using a Chi iron. After reading several reviews on Amazon about how others had a CHI that broke, I thought it might be a good idea for me to get this as a backup in case my own CHI breaks soon. Now my old CHI is the backup and the HSI is my main one! This HSI flat iron is great. The features I love: -Adjustable temperature control -Swiveling cord so no tangles/twists -Plastic behind the heated plates does not get too hot so I can grab that part when I need to -Both straightens and curls my hair -Smooth plates, nicely constructed so my hair doesn't get caught up in it and pulled out I have very thick, curly hair and this flat iron does a quick job straightening my hair. i would recommend this product and would buy an HSI again if I had the need. UPDATE AFTER 1 1/2 YEARS My HSI flat iron is still going strong! I use it about 3 times each week as my only flat iron. It works as well as it did on day 1 and I've had no problems with it at all!
