My roommate used this the day after I got it in the mail. I was the second person to use it and it no longer worked. The light wouldn't come on, the plates wouldn't heat up, etc. Thankfully, Amazon had no problem with me returning it. If yours functions, it seems like a good value with the free hair products you get with it.


I recieved this item last year for my birthday (November, 2007). I don't use it every day, but I do use it a lot. Just this month (December, 2008) I was heating up the iron. I went back to check on it after about three minutes, and the plates were completely melting off the iron. I liked this iron a lot and got much good use out of it (which is why I still gave it 2 stars). My only original complaint was the lack of temperature control. But it's unacceptable to have the plates melt right off, especially one month after the warranty expires.


I got my new Chi and just love it! My hair stays straight all day long and it is normally naturally curly/wavy. The spray and silk serum that come w/ it are great products! They work well and smell great. You definitely need to use them though, as it does get VERY VERY hot. Overall, very happy w/ the purchase and worth the big price :-)


i though when i bought this chi i thought it was going to work like magic and one strip of my hair would be thin and silky well i was wrng it takes alot of work and alot of burning hair my hair was already burned from last straightener now this!!!! Well then i had my dad buy the conditioning stu on here for chi better results my hair was how i imagened and i was real happy with my hair but its not easy for an 12 year old girl to straighten hair but basicly im telling you to buy the chi conditioning with it it will have better results
-kayla!!!



I've owned this for a year. I owned a Chi for the previous 3 years, but the cord shorted out. So far the power cord is strong and the swivel point shows no sign of wear. I have thicker wavy/curly hair. This heats up fast and straightens my hair out easily. After my first Chi broke, then I tried a couple brands from the store. But they do not compare in any way to the Chi!! And then I saw this beautiful pink color... and it's just perfect for me.


My wife has wanted a Chi for years, she knows exactly what she likes and what she doesn't. Typically she only likes the highest quality products, so, I got her the Chi and she loves it. We knew she would.


I've been putting off buying one of these for a long time due to cost. But a couple of months ago, the time was right and the money was in the bank. This saves me SO much time straightening my hair! And it looks fantastic. I have majorly curly hair, and this guy works wonders.

Word of advice: wait until it cools down to put it away, and wrap the chord separately instead of around the iron. It'll last you longer.


This is the best flat iron I have ever purchased and well worth the money. No other store bought iron compares and the price is definitely a bargain. I do not put heat on my hair often and with the use of this iron I am able to flat iron my hair once a week and my style holds up.


This is a great product. I looked everywhere where we live and could not find a better price. This straightener gets VERY hot quickly, which is great when you are in a rush. I do think the entire casing feels very cheap, but it hasn't broken when dropped...so all in all I am impressed.


I had never straightened my hair on my own until I bought this straightener. It works like magic! My hair is soft and shiny and completely straight and is not hard to do! I love it and have been straightening my hair regularly since I bought it.

TIGI BedHead After the Party Smoothing Cream, 3.4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 2)

Product Description

tigi BedHead After the Party Smoothing Cream 3.4 Ounces

I usually apply this to wet hair and dry, then apply just a little more once dry and my hair stays relatively frizz-free all day. This lightweight cream adds shine and keeps hair soft, much better than the "crunchy" feel you get when using gel or mousse. Would highly recommend this product!


I love this product! Living in a humid area, I need something to tame the frizzies and After Party does that! The directions state to use it in dry hair but since my hair is already oily at the roots, I add it after it is towel dried. Once I blow-dry my hair, there are no fly aways and it is super smooth. I recommend this to anyone who lives in a humid climate or has naturally curly hair that frizzes!

FHI Heat Runway Professional Ceramic Tourmaline Styling Iron 1" with I.C.H.S.+Nano Ti+NanoTiO2+Nano Ag Technology

Product Description

As the leader in advancing ceramic styling iron technology, fhi raises the bar with their new Runway Limited Edition iron. Utilizing a cutting-edge Integrated Ceramic Heating System (I.C.H.S.) that ensures quick heat-up time and instantaneous heat recovery, the Runway iron is the pinnacle of performance. With its 100% pure ceramic plates, tourmaline technology, and self-adjusting plates, no other iron on the market can compare.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have coarse African American hair and it make my tresses silky straight


My old Chi straightener... well really any other straightner besides fhi would take forever to straighten my hair... I'm talking two hours probably.... now it takes max 40 minutes to straighten my hair. I have used this iron on all my friends, it works just as good on all my friends, even my african american ones and friends with coarse hair. Its amazing... I use it with a little bit of the fhi heat hot sauce or biosilk and my hair is SUPER silky!!! I do have to say, I cannot notice a difference between this straightener and the fhi platform model... they both seem to do a superior job. The only thing I do not like is that the plates are white and when the products comes off on the plates it burns and stains the plates a little with a brownish organgish color. But besides that its a GREAT straightener... LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Highly reccoment it to anyone!


INTRODUCTION
------------
I haven't used my Runway for too long, but I can already say this is the best flat iron in the world. First of all, it's Made in Korea, not China like all the other cheaper flat irons. The Runway's two ceramic plates -- six baked layers of ceramic, with each layer having tourmaline sprinkled over it, and then finally infused together -- were hand-made and take 3 weeks to actually make according to FHI, so although the price is really up there, I would say the price is somewhat justified. Using the FHI patented ICHS -- Integrated Ceramic Heating System -- the Runway sports a fully spread heater over the entire plate, not just in the middle with cold spots on the edges, found in some other irons.


WHAT'S IN THE BOX?
------------------
1 FHI Heat 1" Runway Flat Iron covered in bubble wrap with a red tape seal.
1 FHI Heat Technique/Platform/Runway instruction booklet -- Note that the booklet's first page says it's the 1" Platform model, not the 1" Runway, but I think it's like that for all the Runways because I have opened another Runway box last year and it said the same thing. I guess FHI can't be bothered to make separate booklets for each of their irons.


FIRST TIME USING IT
-------------------
After showering, I towel dried and waited about 30 minutes until my hair was about 90% dry. I then applied FHI Hot Sauce -- a small red bottle of white cream with some sprinkles on it to help protect the heat -- all over my hair in order to protect it from the heat that it will soon go through. Next used an FHI Carbon Comb 9" version and combed my hair into my desired style, wanting bangs.

At the lowest temperature setting of 140 degrees, my hair didn't get too straight and I had some hair bending going on! But I don't think I was finishing right on my ends when I was pulling the Runway out, so it was not the Runway's fault. Although I was disappointed, this was only my first time and I was very nervous using this expensive iron, so I still had hope. Then I remembered this iron has a variable temperature setting, so I should try to increase the temperature. So I amped it up to 300 degrees, and things got a little bit better... Then I tried the maximum 450 degrees, and the results were much better. Do note that at the 400 degrees or higher, steam will be coming out of your hair. After about 5 minutes, I was comfortable enough to use it and finish properly on the ends. After about 20 minutes I was done and satisfied with my hair. It was very straight. Of course, it doesn't take me 20 minutes to use the Runway anymore, as that was only my first time and I was being so cautious using it and experimenting with different temperatures.

The iron takes a while more than I had hoped to get to the desired temperature. You'll know when it's ready when the red LED starts blinking. It takes at least 10-15 seconds...not the 5 seconds I heard. Still, that's very good and much better than a lot of other flat irons.


CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
----------------------
It's also very easy to clean the white ceramic plates, which are gorgeous to touch! Just take rubbing alcohol -- I use 90% Isopropyl Alcohol bought from CVS -- and a Q-Tip Cotton Swab and you clean it. I've seen one used FHI Runway Iron got some nasty yellow/orange residue on the white ceramic plates that was being sold on eBay, and I bet the owner never cleaned it, so please, make sure you remember to clean the plates after each use. This thing is so expensive you don't want it to look like that after a few months!


COMPARABLE TO?
--------------
I just want to say that I have had a Japanese Thermal Reconditioning done on my hair with one of the best TR stylists in the USA, and the FHI Runway gets me about 80% there in terms of results. Not quite Japanese pin straight perfect, but it's just about as good as it gets. I was pretty pleased. :)


ALL IS NOT PERFECT
------------------
Now, I really wanted to dock one star for the following reason, but decided since it's not really the product's fault, I shouldn't: FHI's warranty policy is absurd. They will only offer you the 1 year warranty this iron comes with only if you buy it directly from FHI or from an FHI approved salon. So what does this mean...? If you buy an FHI flat iron, such as this Runway, anywhere on the Internet except from FHI, you have no warranty. FHI even excludes Amazon. Now, thankfully, Amazon has a good price on the Runway, so you aren't paying the full MSRP and if it breaks, at least you can take solace in that.


CONCLUSION
----------
I would recommend you get the Runway if you are the type of person who just has to have the best of the best and will not settle for anything lower. I do consider this to be the KING of all flat irons, but I could get very similar results with a much cheaper iron, but probably not quite this good -- obviously I haven't tried every flat iron out there, so my claim cannot be taken for scientific fact. I think this iron is going to last me longer than a cheaper one, so I think it's worth it personally, though barely worth it. In terms of my own satisfaction, I'd rate it as a grade of A- or B+.

Just don't have too high expectations and realize this is still a flat iron -- not a miracle worker, like a Japanese TR done by a properly trained stylist.


Nothing compares to this styling iron in performance. It's worth every penny you pay for it.


The iron really works with one stroke over hair. I use the high setting and take small section and once over my hair it's straight and looks healthy. I have chemically treated hair, the iron helps my hair look healthy. It gets very hot and stays that way without any hair damage.



I have only used the product a few times, but I have no complaints. I haven't been able to get my hair to look the way it does when I leave the salon, but it does come close. I would highly recommend to anyone with coarse hair.


I decided to give this a try since it is supposed to be the "best". It should be for the price. I have tried Solia, Sedu, Chi & Fhi(regular) in the past. I would have to say that the Sedu was my favorite until I used the Sedu flat iron cleaner and it took the coating off of the plates. Since I tried all the rest, I thought I would try the best. I have only used it once so I cannot say yet if it the best. It doesn't glide as smooth as the Sedu but it doesn't burn your fingers when you grab the other end like the Sedu. Don't get me wrong, it does a good job but as far as the "best" I will have to give it a few more trys and then I will post another review.


After much research and debate with myself, I decided to make this special purchase as a treat to myself and my hair. This is definitely the best investment I've made in terms of a styling tool ever! What else can I say but I love it! As an African American female, there are few tools that yield the same result as freshly curled hair by way of the marcel irons. Not only did the Runway meet my expectations in that area, it left my hair softer than ever and with a sheen that is quite impressive. Ladies treat yourself in '08 with this worth while tool. After I'm done I look like I've stepped out of the salon!

Now you have the ability to straighten, curl, flip, bend or curl the hair to create the latest looks. Ceramic, ionic technology seals in the hair's natural moisture and shine by smoothing the hair cuticle, creating a healthy static-free shine. Ceramic plates to protect hair condition

I love this product! It straightens my fine, thin hair very well. It also gets extremely hot so I usually have to go over each part of my hair once and it's completely straight. The only downside to this product is that you usually have to go over longer hair more than one time which takes a little longer. I didn't expect this with a Chi. It's totally worth it to buy this product, though! I still think Chi Flat Irons are the best you can buy! :)

Bio Ionic i-Smooth 1.5" Iron RTX -2 CERAMIC Flat Hair Irons

Product Description

Part of the new iTools line...

This new Flat Iron is sure to blow away the competition!

.

bio Ionic's NEWEST RTX 2 iSmooth Iron- It has natural Ion Complex Cushion Technology that leaves hair plump & hydrated, not flat & brittle like other flat irons on the market.

RTX 2- iSmooth Patented Iron technology features & benefits include Natural ion complex that emits negative ions & far infrared energy.

I had a CHI for 2 years and it broke, something with the wiring all my friends who own one have the same problem after 2-3 years. I bought this one b/c my sister has had her's for 3 years with no problem. We have pretty thick wavy hair (white girl hair/Native American in our blood makes our hair thick). My hair feels healthier too. It works wonderful, even here in Hawai'i with all the rain and humidity; and my sister lives in New Orleans, no problems there either. Highly recommended!


I read reviews and the description of the product. It said it could straighten your hair in less time. Well guys, this is for real. This Iron also does not leave your hair with a funny smell, if you know what aI mean. It leaves your hair more shiny than other irons. It's also very, very, very lightweight. I can recommend it 300%

Farouk CHI GF1200 Ceramic Volumizing Hair Iron

Product Description

farouk CHI GF1200 Ceramic Volumizing Hair Iron

These was the lowest price I found this iron and it honestly performs amazingly well. One of the few instances where the tool matters more than the operator.


Have been looking around for a styling iron for some time and thought I had found "the one". However, this volumizing iron is disappointing...
my hair got caught and pulled in the small gap in the plates too many times that I finally decided to return it. Such a shame 'coz if not for that I would have kept it.


My product was received brand new in a box in excellent condition and in a very timely manner. I was kept up-to-date on the status and would definately purchase again from Amazon. This product was also about $50 less than they were selling it for in the store.
