Review (5/5): I am a new fan!!! Love, love, love this straightener.
Okay, this might be a long review but I hope it helps!
Back in the mid 2000’s, when the Chi was selling like hot pancakes, I had such a hard time finding one available, that one day I ended up buying a Paul Mitchell iron. I fell in love with it and never again tried to buy a Chi. After 13 years of using my PM, it finally started having issues with the electrical cord. My sweet husband, seeing how much I was struggling to flat iron my hair, got on Amazon and bought me this Titanium hair straightener. I didn’t want to stop using my Paul Mitchell (was kinda sentimental about it), but I finally put it away and gave this one a try... BEST decision ever!!!! I hadn’t realized how long it actually would take my old straightener to do the job. I though 20-30 minutes straightening my hair was normal. This titanium iron is the real deal. I have super long (almost to my waist), medium thickness hair. Not thin, not coarse... but if I don’t flat iron it, I look like a lion on a bad hair day. Very frizzy. This iron heats up so quickly and it goes up to 450F. I have seriously straightened my whole hair in less than 15 minutes. More like 10 minutes. A little more if I want to flip it and curl the ends. I seriously love this titanium straightener. And no, I didn’t get the product for free just to review it. Like I said, my husband did his homework researching and bought me this for my birthday.
The only thing that I would suggest is that you might have to wear a heat glove if you are using it to curl your hair, since the outside of the plates does get hot, and when you use it to curl, you have to grab the hot end.
Anyway.. I hope it last 13 years or more like my old straightener!
