After eight years, my $100 Solia finally kicked the bucket, and I needed a replacement on a budget. But I wanted something good even though I was on a budget. I checked reviews, blah, blah, blah, and settled on this. And I am very impressed with this $20 flat iron, and I love the style. It has a sophisticated style with the black and white. Because I prefer to straighten my hair (My curls are unmanageable not matter what I try - just doesn't work), and I've been working to make my hair healthier, I only wash my hair twice a week.
My flat iron died on the day I had to wash, but luckily I made it through. This new flat iron arrived in the mail on the day I was due to wash again - so fast shipping, also a mega plus. I liked the packaging, and I like the little cord thingy that helps keep the cord neat when it's not in use. The heat settings . . . normally I would use 450 to straighten my hair, but cut back to 370 for healthier hair - I was frying my hair for years and didn't realize it.
So anyhow, I've been using 370 with my other flat iron. With this one, I tried 350-370, and, wow, I almost think it straightens better! Instead of a heat protectant, I just use a weightless oil, renewing argan oil of morocco. I use that on my wet hair before blow drying. I blow dry my hair straight with a hair brush, then flat iron. Less product, and less heat, and quality products = healthier happier hair. My hair is super healthy. And, ladies and gentleman, consider putting rice water on your hair occasionally for healthy hair. I swear by it for hair health and hair loss issue. If you're putting too much heat on your hair, the hair should be babied or else it will break and fall out in a matter of time. Just some tips from a 20 year flat ironer! lol. But I love my new flat iron, very impressed!
