5.0 out of 5 stars Great Flat Iron July 17, 2009

By Felines

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have the green and black Paul Mitchell flat iron which I bought from my hair salon about 3 years ago and it still works great. I wanted to buy a new flat iron just in case my old one breaks and I first bought an FHI limited edition. I returned it because it changed the texture of my hair in a very strange way regardless of which temperature setting I used and it took a long time to straighten my hair with it. I was very dissatisfied with it. So, I decided to buy another Paul Mitchell iron and I chose this one. This iron is just great. It straightens without damaging hair and I use it at the highest setting. It leaves your hair shiny and smooth. It takes me about ten minutes if I first wash my hair and lightly blow dry. In between washings,I use it to style my hair in just a couple of minutes. (I have shoulder length, medium thick, frizzy hair.) This is an excellent flat iron and I plan to stick with the Paul Mitchell stylers.

Fabulous!!!! This straightening iron makes my hair soft and shiny. I have very coarse and thick hair and softens and straightens with no problem. I am good for a week before my next hair washing. Worth the money.

This wonderful instrument adds softness, body and shine to my hair. It straightens out my hair without pulling out hair, burning hair or anything harmful. For all hair types. I am african american with thin/fine hair that is relaxed and it does justice by my hair.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not crazy about silicone strips June 25, 2010

By Curly Girl

Size Name:1 Inch

I am new to flat ironing and purchased this flat iron at the suggestion of my stylist-it is the one she uses and I have been happy with the results when she does my hair except for one time when I think she needed to clean the residue off her plates. When I first got the product I took it to the salon and had my stylist do my hair so my inexperience would not be a factor if I was not happy with the results. I am glad I did becuase it pulled my hair to the point where it looked kind of static-y, and she was pulling hair off the plates about every 4-5 swipes toward the end. When I asked she said hers did the same thing when it was new. I am admittedly a novice with this type of styling but that seemed odd to me. I went to a store that sells different types of flat irons and ran some of them over my hair (they weren't plugged in) just to see the difference-only this one and one really cheap one pulled. I deduced it was the silicone strips because none of the other irons had those, including the 1.25 Paul Mitchell iron, which I also tried. The other things most people look for in a flat iron are met by this product: it heats up in 60 seconds, it is easy to grip, cools off quickly, 1-2 glides to get the hair really straight, and the result is soft with a nice shine. However, it seems to me that prolonged use with that kind of pulling is damaging and a new product should not do that. It is too bad, otherwise this is a great iron and would have received a 5 star rating from me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second One! November 20, 2012

By jayelare

Size Name:1 Inch|Amazon Verified Purchase

I got this straightener about 6 years ago or so when I think it first came out. I just got my second one in the mail today. This is by far the best straightener I have ever used. I have naturally curly/frizzy thick hair and I only have to pull this through a strand of hair once and its straight and shiny. My hair never looks dead or damaged from using this one even if I go 6+ months without a haircut. The only reason I am on my second one is because after 6 years my first one is starting to smell funny, kinda like burnt (but I wasn't the best at keeping up on cleaning it and I use product in my hair). But for lasting me this long and using it every single day I am not complaining. I have tried plenty of other products and NOTHING compares to this. My mom will be getting this one too some time soon because she has loved using mine any chance she gets. I would 100% without a doubt recommend this straightener to anyone and everyone. And I just want to mention since I do have curly frizzy hair I wanted to point out that the gripper strips have never pulled my hair to where it hurts or falls out. That is actually the best part of this straightener. Bottom line if you are thinking about ordering this one you should, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've used! February 7, 2010

By PKA

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have used multiple CHI, Sedu, and HAI flat irons (all of which eventually stopped working prematurely). I have really long hair and recently replaced my 1.5 in Sedu that broke (and which did not work well at all compared to my past CHIs) with the BIG CHI 2" hoping it would straighten my hair better/faster. It turned out that it did not do a better job than the cheap iron I was using after my Sedu broke so I decided to try out this iron after hearing all of the hype about the ions/infrared/silicone strips yada yada... even though it is only a 1 in iron. I have had it for a week not and LOVE it. It makes my hair so much softer/healthier looking than ANY of the high end irons I have used in the past and straightens just as fast, if not faster than the wider irons I have owned. It's thinness also makes it much easier to succesfully straighten from the scalp and bangs. I only hope it lasts a lot longer than all of my other irons, especially since it is on the higher price range.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best flat iron EVER! Money well spent! April 7, 2010

By Adrienne Nelson

This is by far the BEST flat iron I have ever used, and I've tried many. Solia, Chi, Ion, that one they were advertising on TV for a while (but don't anymore? Because the thing kept BREAKING!) and some other ones I don't remember. I have thick, course, curly, and super damaged hair. I went to a professional stylist one day, and she made my hair gorgeous. Trimmed the ends, fixed the color, and gave me great advice on flat ironing techniques. I had to ask her what she was using, because I was fed up with my flat irons. She told me Paul Mitchell, she swears by it. I went to folica first, but was glad I decided to shop around because it's almost 100 dollars less on amazon, and that is an amazing price for this flat iron.

I also, from time to time, straighten my boyfriend's long, thick, curly hair (he's hispanic). He's so happy with it too, because now he has "metal" hair, which is good for windmilling at shows I suppose!

If you're on the fence about this flat iron, let me convince you, I was at the end of my rope. I dye my hair, and have for about 5 years now, and was seriously considering chemical straightening (BAD IDEA!!!!!). Thank goodness I went to my stylist first. Even when I do it myself, this flat iron makes my hair silky, soft, and it has great movement.
