This review is from: Conair CS3B Ceramic Straightener, Power of Pink, 1 Inch (Health and Beauty)

After reading many many enthusiastic reviews about this flat iron I decided to give it a try. I have long very curly biracial hair that's thick but not coarse (Type 3B). For me, this flat iron works *really well.* This is my first flat iron purchase and I did TONS of googling before buying this one.

PROS:(1) It's crazy inexpensive! (2) A buttload of temp settings - most I'll never use (3) It gets hot fast, and reaches very high temps so that I only have to do one or two passes over any 1 - 1.5 in section of hair.(4) It's super lightweight so my arms never get tired during the ~40 minute straightening process. And (5) the cord swivels out of the way which is a nice feature. (6) Can do some minimal styling like curling hair ends and adding wave.

Now for the CONS: (1) the plates are only ceramic coated. I've discovered (after much internet research and talking to my stylist) that this means two things: first, they probably won't last very long, especially if consistently used at very high temps. Second, Your hair will get snagged more often and this will increase over time as the ceramic gets 'pitted' (2) You probably wont ever really get that "salon straightened shine" without using tons of silicone-based products. Now, I have nothing against silicone products and I use them all the time, but they will accumulate heavily in your hair and washing them out results in 'stripping' your hair (because of the bonds silicone forms with the proteins in your hair) and that means duller more easily damaged hair in the long run. BUT - all you have to do is put back in the silicon and, viola, smooth and shiny again. If this vicious cycle is not for you, then you should understand that unless you have titanium or full ceramic plates you're flat-ironed hair isn't going to be super shiny. (3) Will not straighten damp or wet hair (but most flat irons don't do this so no biggie).

Overall, excellent buy but purchase knowing that you're not going to get the Hope diamond of flat irons.

Conair CS3B Ceramic 1" Straightener, Breast Cancer Awareness, Power of Pink
This is an awesome straightener. You get your money's worth. I've tried BED HEAD's straightener which can cost more than $100 and it doesn't work as great as this straightener. I bought an additional one since I love it so much. GREAT BUY.

The Conair brand products generally work well and this product is not an exception. It straightens quickly and quite well for having such small plates. The one con that I can think of is that it doesn't have a comb attachment, which speeds up straightening and makes your hair a lot smoother. It's a great tool nonetheless.
