5.0 out of 5 stars Convenient and a Great Value Too, October 22, 2006

UPDATE: After a few uses, the Conair no longer worked as well. It still does an okay job, but I find myself looking longingly at the Chi flat irons whenever I pass a display. If I flat-iron in the morning, it doesn't get perfectly sleek by a long shot, although it looks a lot better than before. And it requires touch-ups by evening. With my other flat iron, my hair would still be pretty good even the next morning. It also snags my hair if I'm not careful. I still love the convenience of the two-in-one, though.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:

I have extremely thick, coarse, very wavy (almost curly) hair--definitely a challenge for any flat iron. Prior to this curling/straightening iron, I owned a $150 Wet-to-Dry T3 Tourmaline flat iron (see my review), a $50 Jilbere flat iron, and a run-of-the-mill drugstore curling iron. The Conair does as good a job at straightening and smoothing my hair as the T3 or the Jilbere. Once I flat iron it, it stays so nice and smooth the next day it doesn't even require a minor touch up.

I actually like the Conair better than the T3 or the Jilbere, because no matter how careful I was, the T3 was terrible at pulling my hair, and the Jilbere, while better, still caught the stray hair now and then. I have never gotten a hair snagged by the Conair. And I love having one less hair appliance/cord and one less cord cluttering my counter. I also really like that it has an auto turn off for forgetful people like me. It is slightly more wieldy than a flat iron or curling iron alone, but that's almost always the case when you get a 2-in-1 anything. I think it's mainly due to having to account for the rounded outer shape when straightening. You have to hold it a little farther away from your scalp. I can't think how they could've made it easier, though, while still keeping the 2-in-1 design.

It's easy to switch back and forth between curling iron and straightener. The power light and temp control are right on the front, so I can tell at a glance whether it's on or not. With the other flat irons, I had to look between the plates to see the light. One small nitpick is that I wish I could set the temp and it would default to the same temp everytime I turn it on. As it is, I have to turn it up every time.

But the Conair is an amazing bargain. For less than $30 and to have the convenience of a curling iron / straightener in one, I am highly impressed. I would happily buy it again at twice the cost, and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Burn Baby Burn, October 6, 2007

I bought this on Amazon for 29.99. I had high hopes for this product as I have been a loyal and happy consumer of Conair products for over 20 years. I am very disappointed with pretty much every aspect of this product. It is cumbersome to use, as it is heavy and awkward. It also gets very hot, even on the lowest temperature. There is nothing protecting the device from your skin, so you have to be very careful not to burn yourself.

The straightening feature works well enough, but leaves crimps in your hair if you are a novice. The curling feature is totally cumbersome, and very easy to burn your skin in the process. Even with the correct grip, the curl feature just stinks. I use my loyal conair hot rollers to curl my hair.

All in all, a total bomb. Will I use the product: sometimes. Would I buy it again. NO WAY!

UPDATE: Two years later I still have this accessible, but never use, I pulled it out last week, and was reminded how cumbersome and impractical this is.

I have tough, thick curly hard-to-manage hair, but this product does an amazing job as both straightener and curling iron.
It makes my hair silky and shiny. I can style my hair exactly the way I want. It has 5 heat levels, and it's heated super fast.
I just love this product and want to recommend it to everyone.
