I just love this produce. I am a African American with coarse thick relaxed hair. I must say after using this product I will not use another kind of straightner or flat iron. I love the combs, and the adjustable heat settings. It made my hair soft and silky. I also used it on my neice who has long really thick hair. It usually takes forever to finish, however I was done much quicker. She just loved how it felt when I finished, as it was shiny and silky.

Great!!!!

This is an update to this straightening iron I have owned since June 2008. I (still) love this straightening iron!! I've had it for more than a year, used it almost every day for 3 months straight, and it's still going strong. My hair is not long anymore, so it's even better for short and poofy hair after blow drying it. The best part: my hair stays straight for 2 or more days and it does not cause a lot of split ends like the other straighteners I've had.

At first it takes practice to get the water chamber filled up, but it comes easy after a few uses. Make sure to have a bottle of room-temp filtered water nearby. You can only use distilled water in it. The directions say not to take off the water chamber when the iron is still hot, so that is pretty much the only con I found with this. Otherwise, it left my hair incredibly straight and soft!

I purchased the Conair Infiniti Steam Straightener a couple days ago. The main reason is because of the steam. The one I currently own, a Virtuo, which I paid about $100.00 for 3 years ago at the mall, does not have steam. With my hair totally dry, I have to go over one piece of hair two to three times, so I wanted to cut my time in half. I have long hair that is medium in thickness. Let me tell you, this does work. It took me about 10 minutes to totally straighten my hair. It would take me 20 to 25, on a good day. I only had to go over each piece ONCE. The steam really does make a difference. It also made my hair very shiny, whereas the one I currently own does not. On the bottom plate, there are detangling "combs" that are retractable. Other straighteners have actual combs, which when straightening your hair, actually cut it! Ouch! These combs are not pointy, they are round. So, it doesn't cut your hair. I like also because it has an automatic shut-off. That is really great for me because I have left my other one on all day!!!! I was hesitant to purchase this because I read a lot of different opinions about it, and a lot of them were not good. But, like anything else, you have to try things for yourself. Everyone has different hair types, so some products might not work as well as others. I give this straightener an A+++++.

I'm really surprised at all the negative feedback for this iron! I have a combination of African American, and thick Dutch/ French hair..I didn't have a chance. Not only is my hair thick, it's curly, frizzy, and basically an Afro if I let it air dry, and better yet, shoulder length(when it's not standing on end). My hair is even dyed.

This iron gets it done. It makes my hair softer than non-steam irons, and it is humidity resistant. Don't be disillusioned though..if you have hair like mine, it's ALWAYS going to take 30+ minutes to do your hair. Get over yourself if you think you can whip out shiny straight flat hair in 10 minutes. This makes my hair soft, polished, straight, and even movable(I can wear pony tails again and not look like a broom end!).

I've used Chi irons. They burn my hair and dry it out. This iron is FAR better than my 100+ dollar Chi iron, when I bought this one on sale for $40.

Bottom line. Get one~

I first saw this product on an ad on television. I thought it would never work on my hair. But as I continued to watch the ad i started to like it more and more.
My point is, I ordered this flat iron and I have been in love with it ever since. Being a woman of African American descent I love the fact that it works on my frizzy, curly, thick hair. I also love that you can set it on different tempratures to adjust to any kind of hair. And its so quick and easy to use.

As an owner of two Chi flat irons, I have to say that I am impressed with this steam iron from Conair. My hair type is thick and wavy in spots. It was extrememly fast and easy. The iron does not pull on my hair. I don't have to have the heat as high as I normally would because the steam helps straighten the hair as well. The only think I would suggest it to work fast because the water runs out quickly.

After a lifetime of dealing with high maintenance hair that never really looks good, I am impressed! Truly the only time my hair looks good is when some else does it. I have thick frizzy, curly hair that I don't usually have the time or patience to deal with. I have gone years with just air drying my hair and leaving it curly. Trying multitudes of hair products to limit the frizz. Honestly I couldn't style my hair if my life depended on it. I was not born with the natural ability to be create beautiful hair. With that said, I've been walking around for a week now looking like I went to the hair stylist everyday! My hair looks so soft, shiny and straight that my friends and family are skeptical that I myself accomplished this. My hair feels and looks healthier. And did I mention soft! My hair has never been soft! I would recommend this product to any woman that has suffered as I have through the years. It is actually easy to use. If it only takes me 20-25 min. to use, I would imagine that some one that knows what they are doing could do it in less time.

I own this product. I have a few things to say about it that might be helpful. First, if you saw the informercial, it IS possible to get the results they show. The keys are patience, working slowly, a lot of steam, and a firm grip.

I've found that compared to other straighteners, this one gets my curly, coarse hair the silkiest and straightest. Plus, the iron-out lasts the longest without it turning back to frizz. That's a pro.

The cons are, from dry curls to sleek and dry, takes approximately one hour of slow steaming. I find that if I move very slowly and hold the iron VERY tightly, without using the built in teeth, and with the steam reservoir on the bottom, it works the best. Always use the steam feature, it's no different from any other iron without it.

Like I said though, it's a good hour investment of time, although I've gone up to 5 days without needing to wash my hair afterwards.

Compared to the Chi and Hot Tools I've used, this gives the most professional results, both look and feel. I've also found that my very frizz prone hair stays tame even in humidity when I use the steam feature.

Con - the reservoir runs dry VERY quickly. It's not much to refill it, it just takes a bit of careful maneuvering.

In short, give it a try from Conair with the 30 day trial period. Use it more than once to get used to it, it IS rather heavy, but I feel it does a decent job. As I stated in the title, it's not the magic bullet of haircare, but it IS a good tool to have your arsenal.

I have tried so many different hair straighteners, from Paul Brown, Chi, Fhi, Zoe, and recently Kiyosaki. I always end up taking them back because I don't like the results it gives me on my hair. My hair ends up looking really dry. And cost has never been a factor. I have bought flat irons as low as $25 and and much as $125. Nothing has seemed to do justice on my hair. I did recently purchase the Infiniti Steam Straightener. After using it, my hair felt so soft. I couldn't stop touching it. Even the ends of my hair didn't look dry. I figured before that my hair needed to be cut because my ends were so dry, but with this straightener, my ends looks great. I even had a friend talking to me the other night and I wasn't listening to her because I kept feeling my hair and thinking about how soft it felt. The water does run out fast, but I simply turn it off and fill it back up. In the mean time, I do my makeup or something productive.

I saw the ad on tv and wanted to purchase this product. I only use conair since they have the best hair products ever. After reading reviews on this straightener, I was wondering how this product can give you salon results at home. Some people left negative reviews because they DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A STRAIGHTENER. It is a shame that Conair needs to deal with negative reviews. So, I just use this straightener and was able to get straight hair in 1 hour WITHOUT USING THE STEAM. I am so amazed because the last time i straightened my hair with a ceramic stove and iron, I SPENT 3 HOURS TO GET MY HAIR SMOOTH AND SILKY. So, you are still not sure, i recommend this product to people who do not want to spend $65 everytime they go to the hair salon.
