As someone who personally uses this item, I can totally back up what plenty of shoppers are raving about. This flat iron can smoothly straighten my hair or create curls that last all day without feeling coarseness or dryness in my locks. It’s literally the best one I’ve ever bought, and I’ve tried many of them that vary in a wide range of prices. This flat iron is the only one I will continue to use.

One five-star reviewer wrote: “I wanted a new flat iron in the hopes that I could achieve a salon look. However, I didn't want to spend a fortune. Though the reviews for this item were good, I was skeptical since the price is just so reasonable! I took the risk and am so glad I did! I have mixed African American and Asian hair. It is thick and coarse. The argan oil and flat iron worked beautifully and my results were salon worthy! I'm so very pleased and cannot recommend this HSI iron enough!”

Comparing it to a more expensive product, another shopper explained: “I was very nervous about ordering a new flat iron. I had my previous one for over 4 years and spent over $100 on it. I had pretty low expectations when I ordered this new one because of the cost. I will say I have been pleasantly surprised at how great this flat iron works. It works just as good if not better than my previous one. This was a wonderful purchase!”

“Better curls than any curling iron I’ve used,” another purchaser mentioned. “Never had a curling iron that worked for me. Curls wouldn't stay more than an hour. This heats up quickly. Comfortable to use and after brushing my hair and putting it in a bun and sleeping on it still woke up with nice lose curls and waves. Love it.”
