Love it!, December 28, 2007
This review is from: FHI Heat Platform Special Edition Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron 1" with Nano Technology (Health and Beauty)
I get monthly chemical relaxers, so I just need a flat iron to take the texture out of my hair when I blow dry. I don't know about using a flat iron as a daily straighener because my hair is already chemically straightened.
My texture is medium-coarse and this iron leaves my hair shiny and soft. I use my FHI once a week whenever I wash it, and I feel the difference for days. The CHI may have just been too hot for my hair because the one I had didn't have the temperature setting. After I used this FHI a few times, I gave my old CHI to my friend. My hair would be shinny with the CHI, but it would also feel hard and fried. Plus after about 2 days, it seems like it needed to use some serious CHI heat again which may have contributed to my hair breakage so I stopped using it.
My hair dresser uses FHI and my hair always feel great. I would get many compliments so after getting my hair back into health, I turned again to the high heat ceramics. When I use the FHI, I can go a nearly a week with using minimial or no additional heat. I especially noticed the difference in the back of my hair (known to some as the "kitchen").
I still use my good cheapo ceramic conair iron daily at a low setting as needed. I could also use the FHI daily at the lower settings, but the cheaper irons do just as well after my hair is initially strengthened with the FHI. So why burn out this expensive iron everyday?
I've used many flat irons and hair products. To me, the health of your hair and your regime makes a huge in the determining whether a hair tool or hair product works. I definitely recommend any flat iron that is ceramic. Even the cheap ones help my hair hold moisture - less frying. It makes a huge difference for me! Combine it with a ionic dryer, a great conditioner and setting lotion, and I am good!

Can't Ask For Much More...., December 11, 2007
This review is from: FHI Heat Platform Special Edition Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron 1" with Nano Technology (Health and Beauty)
I have very coarse curly hair, and this iron does the trick. It gets super hot, heats up in about 15 seconds and straightens quickly and very effectively. I can get it to that nice silky smooth straight, not the disappointing straight-ish frizz girls like me are often stuck with. I thought about the 1 3/4", but the 1" lets me get my bangs and it's still no problem for handling long hair quickly. I used Amazon Prime and got it the next day.Couldn't be happier!

I purchased this for my wife who has owned many flat irons and she says this one is the best she has ever had. She also has told me that this exact model is what her hair stylist uses and sells them for about $150.
