Hot Tools Professional 24K Gold Flat Iron, 2 Inches

I own this iron, im actually on my second one. This is the best iron I have ever owned, it gets really hot and does leave the hair smooth and straight. The iron also does last a long time. I bought mine from overstock.com it cheaper there and so is the shipping. I do reccommend everyone to purchase one of these irons especially if your hair is thick and curly. I had a conair flat iron years ago and it does not compare to this at all. I purchased the hot tools salon dryer and it is also great I feel like im at the salon in the comfort of my own home. Hot tools is a great brand there products are worth the money. I know people spend over 50 dollars purchasing a flat iron,but theres no reason too. The hot tools iron is so affordable and the results are great.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE WITH CURLY HAIR THAT NEEDS TO BE STRAIGHTENED!!!!I have been using this make and model of flat iron for the past 8 years and will never again buy another one. I have purchased many other flat irons ... even the most expensive CHI irons and none straighten my hair as well as this one...in fact, my hair is so curly that the other irons are a complete waste of my time and money. No other flat iron has ever been able to really straighten my hair. IMO no other iron is worth even trying to use if you have VERY curly hair.They don't last forever but they last for about 3 years...IF you take it traveling with you in addition to daily (or even more than daily) use. If you use it less than daily and don't "check it" with your luggage on frequent airplane trips with you, you will get WAY more than 3 years of use out of this iron. The plastic on mine EVENTUALLY breaks...where they are still completely usable but it pulls my hair a little (only after 3+years with HEAVY USE) so I just get a new one when that happens. The price is AMAZING!!My hair is extremely curly (cork screws) and comes to my bra hooks in length when it is straight. I am committed to THIS flat iron and KMS Straightening Cream FOR LIFE!!! I wash my hair every other day (to keep it from drying out), blow it FULLY dry with a metal or ceramic brush...then use this iron...>> and my hair stays "board straight" through all 48 hours (unless I get sweaty or it gets wet...make sure you keep an umbrella around if you straighten your curly hair)!!After drying my hair...it takes me less than 5 minutes to get all of my hair perfectly straight (with 8 years of practice...but fast even for new users).Enjoy!!

For the first few months after buying, it worked great. It did pull my hair a little but I had that issue with other big straighteners. However, it just stopped heating after 2 1/2 months after I purchaed. Ive had other hot tools products before that have lasted years. This was the first I've ever bought off amazon instead of a major retailer. Next time, I'll spend the few extra bucks at the major retailer and get a good product.

I have try different flat hot irons after my first hot tools fell and broke. But none of the others warm as hot or give me that silky shine this hot tools iron does. The only bad thing about this iron is that if it falls it breaks easily, and the beauty supply stores in my area don't carry them anymore. I was very happy when I found it on Amazon, and am thinking of buying another one just to have it handy in case. I wish they would do one more sturdier. I truly would be willing to pay a little more for it. The description doesn't lie when it says that this flat hot iron will leave your hair silky and shining. A lot of people have asked me if I'm wearing a wig because my hair has a healthy silky shine, and at work I'm known as the lady with the silky long hair. Thanks to this product of course.lol

I have curly hair that has a mind of its own. When I found the Helen of Troy straighteners I rejoiced! But after a few years you always need to replace them. I was extremely upset when I couldn't find another HoT straightener, until someone told me that they were now HOT Tools. This straightener gets VERY hot - hot enough to actually straighten my hair! It is the only straightener that will actually straighten my hair and keep it from frizzing, even in the DC humidity. When my straightener dies (which I'm sure it eventually will, but it's 2 years old and still kicking!), I will buy another one of these. Excellent price, excellent product, excellent hair!

I owned a total of 3 Helen of Troy flat irons similar to this throughout high school and college, and once Sally Beauty stopped selling them, I was heartbroken. Believe it or not, every new flat iron with new technology has damaged my hair and for some reason this one has not. My flat iron was delivered on my doorstep literally within 30 hours of me submitting my order and I didn't pay for any type of expedited shipping. High school for me was over 17 years ago, and back then the iron was called "Helen of Troy", but this Hot Tools iron looks, performs and when it's heating up it even SMELLS like the one I had when I was a younger! 4-stars only because my only complaint is that it snags my hair a bit sometimes & yanks out a strand here or there, whereas the Helen of Troy one didn't. Hopefully it just need a little bit of breaking in; sometimes when natural hair oils & heat protector product that I put on my hair prior to straightening build up on the plates, it glides through easier & more smoothly for me.
