4.0 out of 5 stars Worth keeping in your purse, December 1, 2004

By 

Vanessa Paradis "Vanessa" (Canada) - See all my reviews

I bought this item a month ago and I've used it at least twice a week when I'm out and the weather doesn't agree with me (I have very freezy hair). This product takes 1 min to warm up (2 mins if you want it piping hot) and straightens up each chunck of hair in one stroke. The only thing I'm skeptical about is how long the special Conair battery will last and how much the replacement will cost...I'll worry about that when the time comes :p

Pros:
- Warms up quickly
- Does the job
- Adds some sort of glossy look to the hair

Cons:
- Uses a patented Conair battery instead of more common AA or AAA.
- You have to wait a few minutes after you're done before putting the piece back in it's compact casing (for peace of mind...not likely to set your purse on fire though)

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, July 12, 2007

By 

medkid (Chicago) - See all my reviews

I bought this straightener for an overseas trip (to a country where electricity is unreliable). In theory, it is a great concept: no electricity needed & completely portable, with it's own traveling case. In reality, it DOESN'T WORK. First, when you turn it on it smells very strongly of butane. Not really appealing and it makes me nervously wonder how much excessive gas is leaking out. I could get past that if the straightener heated up at all. It doesn't! I have really fine, thin hair so it takes very little to straighten it, but this thing can't even do that!! If you have thicker or curly hair, I'd imagine it does even less. The straightener produces a luke warm straightening plate. Even when I leave it clamped to my hair for a longer time, little happens. It's completely ineffective. I was going to take it on my trip (since you're allowed one cordless curling iron/straightener and one cartridge in your checked luggage), but it's completely pointless. It doesn't work! It's far less quality than I'd expect from Conair. Don't waste your money!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Product junk!, December 30, 2007

The 1 star I give this product is for the nice travel case it comes on! Looks good on paper, doesn't work in real life! This was a real waste of money I am sorry to say. I read the reviews and people like it so I thought great I'll order it! Well it never worked! You have to keep pressing the button to get it to ignite. Well after an 1 hour (I not lying) it still wouldn't work. I did find a GREAT!! travel flat iron at Sally's that is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Go there and buy that one! You won't be disappointed!!!
