4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great for me!, October 5, 2008

This review is from: Farouk Biosilk Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Hair Iron, 1 Inch, Black (Health and Beauty)

I have wavy hair... not super curly or thick, but not straight either, so I don't have a difficult time finding straightening irons that work, but I wanted one that would leave my hair shiny and smooth, and do it quickly, so I started looking at irons that were a bit more expensive than my usual 25 dollar range. I came across a review for this on another site and decided to try it. It straightens my hair quickly, and does leave it very shiny and smooth. The only reason I didn't give it a five was that it claims that it locks out humidity, and for the most part it does, but when humidity here is bad and I walk for a 10-15 minutes, I find my hair not as straight and as smooth as when I left. Overall I would recommend this product.

This review is from: Farouk Biosilk Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Hair Iron, 1 Inch, Black (Health and Beauty)

My hair is super thick and layered to my shoulders. I am Black/African American and have 2 types of curls- tight and soft, then the coarse naps at the middle-back of my head (about 3" in diameter). This iron is FANTASTIC. Seriously. I have a Conair ceramic iron that does okay, but the poof comes back to my hair too soon. This Farouk Biosilk iron is big time goodness. It's totally fighting the friz for me. I also use the CHI Iron Guard Spray. I almost bought a CHI (original), but this was $20 cheaper and allowed me to control the temperature. The CHI Turbo was more than I wanted to spend because I'm a pretty cautious spender. What else? Oh! Some irons get HOT on the outside, but I had this one all the way up to 420F at some parts and the outside never got hot.
My only concern is that the "on" light quickly flickers once it's at full heat. My
Conair's light flashes slow and steadily until it's reached the desired temp. That makes sense to me. The way this iron flickers just seems a little odd, so I'm checking www.farouk.com to see what's up.

Anyway, BUY THIS IRON. Seriously. I don't leave a LOT of immediate reviews (not many at all for that matter). I'm in hair love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and shiny, September 4, 2007

I like being able to control the temperature and I love how shiny it makes my hair. The ONLY thing I don't like is that I can't 'lock' it shut. I travel a lot and it makes it easier to pack it when it's not opened. As it is, I wrap the chord around it and it's fine, but that adds undue wear and tear on the chord.

Otherwise, it's a great product and love the fact that it's the same company/quality of a CHI, but at a significantly reduced price.
