I have really curly thick hair (we're talking coffee stirrer sized coils) and this iron worked great. It's better than my Chi (and a fraction of the price). My hair feels great and, unlike when I use my CHI, it's straight from root to tip.

I love this straightner it makes my hair feel silky soft & smooth. Its great cause it removes the need for a blow dry. I love the way my hair looks everytime I use it!

Got this about a month or so ago and I use it about 3 times a week on a low to middle setting for my fine hair. It straightens out my hair well wet or dry but it doesn't dry the wet hair in one pass, however, I wouldn't expect it to at the setting I use it at. It's easy to hold and I can even curl my bangs with it.

A far as quality of the product, it seems to be holding up pretty well. No peeling on the plates and it plastic housing seems to hold up. I like the location of the on/off switch with the temperature settings. They are tucked in enough to be out of the way while I work with it.

I think for the money it is a good match for me; especially when I can get the style I want (on dry fine hair that has some natural curl) in less than 5 minutes! Overall, I think if you're looking for something that does the job and isn't tough on the wallet, this is a pretty good deal.

After reading the mixed reviews I was hesitant to buy this flat iron, but in the end I figured anything had to be better than my old $40 ceramic flat iron that only has an on/off switch. And this one was only $15.99.

I am very satisfied with this tourmaline ceramic flat iron (and very very happy I didn't waste my money on a $100+ CHI). There are several settings 1-20, in increments of 5. I have super curly fine hair and use the 10 setting. I could probably use an even lower setting and still get straight hair, this iron gets really hot. Using the tourmaline plates makes a big difference, my hair is not only soft and smooth, it doesn't easily frizz after I use it. And that is saying A LOT considering I live in New Orleans, and it really doesn't get much more humid than there.

One thing to note: While it may heat up in 30secs, it does not heat up to the 10 setting in 30secs. I timed it and it takes about 4mins to heat up to 10. But 4mins is not much time to wait. I also really like the fact that there's a red power light, and a green light that indicates when it is heating up and when it is ready to use. Also note that the plates go right up to the edges, and thus not only can you get really close to the roots to straighten, you can also easily burn yourself if you aren't careful.

I have not yet used the wet setting, but this flat iron looks like it could handle wet hair. I would definitely recommend buying this flat iron before spending $100+ on a CHI, and for 15.99 you can't go wrong.

My daughter didn't get my curly hair, but she did get some wave. Unfortunately she doesn't like it and prefers to flat iron it most of the time. After her last one stopped working I agreed to purchase her a new one here on Amazon. We found this one in our searches and decided to go with it. I think she used it the first day it arrived and she was so HAPPY! It didn't compare to the one she had before, even I could see the difference. She really likes being able to use it both wet and dry in case she's running late for school. I think for the price we paid we got our moneys worth and I will look at Andis for future purchases.

My friend has an Andis flat iron (black and gold one) and it worked GREAT!! I loved it, I thought I would try this one for wet and dry hair, it works but not as good as the other Andis flat irons. It takes a couple of passes to get your hair flat and straight. If you have curly hair forget this one. Straight hair that you want flat it will work.

I purchased this flat iron because it was cheap and I need something to use for a couple weeks while my CHI was being fixed. This flat iron straightened my hair really well and I like that it has heat adjustments. The highest heat setting is really hot and works well. My CHI is fixed now but I still use my Andis instead! And if the Andis breaks, oh well its just another $15 to buy a new one! I have only tried using it when my hair was damp once and it didn't make it 100% dry after and it created tons of hot steam so I don't recommend using it until you have blow-dried hair completely. I would rather blow-dry my hair before using any straightener anyways because then it is more manageable. GREAT buy.

This straightener is Awesome!
It heats up quickly, has adjustable temps, can use it when your hair is damp AND its pretty =D
It is a GREAT buy for the price, i LOVE it.
The chord is kinda bulky, but thats about the only thing negative I can say about it!

Great value for the money. I refused to pay $200 for those other ones. This one serves my purpose well. I've never tried the wet to straight function (I don't really trust that idea). My only wish is that the plates sat further out on the base, so that I could get closer to the scalp.

I have extremely thick, coarse hair. I have a hard time finding a flat iron that actually straightens my hair. This flat iron (when using on wet hair) works extremely well for about the first 10 minutes. Then it needs about 5 minutes to reheat, then works for 10 minutes and then needs another 5 minutes to reheat (and on and on the cycle continues). When it is fully heated, it straightens my hair so nicely. It's just that annoying reheating every 10 minutes.
