Great!,

I've only had this flat iron for a week or two, but it is great. Reading other reviews, the only negative thing I've heard is that it stops working or breaks pretty early on, and I haven't had it long enough to tell, but so far so good. I have tried cheap wal mart flat irons, I have bought a cheaper ($30-) flat iron from a beauty supply store. But nothing turns my thick, coarse, curly hair stick straight - I always get waves and frizz. I even sat in a salon for hours and had my hair chemically straightened to no avail. In fact, I have been so exasperated with my hair I have been shaving my head for the past few years. Right now I have a mohawk, which is getting rather long, so it is getting harder and harder to maintain. A friend flat ironed my hair with a Ceramic Tools straightener, and it was stick straight (although very fluffy - very 80's) - I decided I needed a more expensive iron.

I love having straight hair..,

I've had this flat iron for about 2 1/2 years; one of my best friends and I both bought it at the same time. However, after a year her's began to automatically turn itself off while she was using it and the only way to get it to come back on was to try and swivel the cord. Sadly, mine is doing the exact same thing. It did make my hair straight and was well worth the money I paid for i at the time, but I don't plan on buying another one because I think it's poorly made if everyone's breaks after a short period of time.
Best Flat Iron. Minus 1 star for longevity.,

This review is from: HAI Convertable Ceramic Flat Iron (Misc.)
This is my favorite flat iron. I have had 2 and am on to my 3rd now. The reason it's not 5 stars is because (like the other reviewers say) it only lasts 1-2 years max. I had each for that period of time and towards the end, it just isn't reliable. I would plug it in, and it would lose it's connection. After my 2nd HAI, I got tired of the problem and tried to switch I got the
FHI Heat Platform 1 Inch Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron with Nano-Fuzeion Technology I have been disappointed with that flat iron from day 1. I am now heading back to the HAI.
Buy a HAI. Enjoy it for 18 months. Consider each additional day as a gift from the hair straightening gods.
